Pigeons out from under the solar panels, nests out of the roofline, mess cleaned and sanitized, and a barrier that actually holds. Built for Valley homes, not warehouses.

Or Call Us NowQuick answer. Residential bird proofing closes the sheltered gaps birds are actually using on a home: the open perimeter under a rooftop solar array, the eave and roofline voids, dryer and attic vents, and covered patio beams. Cleanup comes first, because droppings and old nest material carry mites and the smell keeps drawing birds back, then galvanized mesh, spikes or netting go in so the space is physically closed rather than just cleared. Valley Wash Pros does this across Fresno and the Central Valley, and every estimate is free.
Commercial bird work is about warehouses, loading docks and signage. A house is a different animal. On a Central Valley home the problem is almost always one of three places: the warm gap under a rooftop solar array, the open barrel ends and valleys of a tile roof, or a covered patio, eave or entry alcove where a ledge gives a pigeon somewhere to sit. This page covers the residential version of the work. For the full service, including commercial and ag buildings, see our main bird prevention page.

Two things make Valley neighborhoods unusually good pigeon habitat. The first is solar. Residential solar adoption here is high, and every array creates a shaded, sheltered cavity a few inches above a warm roof, hidden from hawks and out of the weather. From a pigeon's point of view that is a purpose-built nesting box on the safest structure in the neighborhood.
The second is what surrounds us. Feed lots, dairies, orchards and open farm ground keep the regional bird population high year-round, and there is no season where the pressure drops off. A house that gets cleared but not sealed simply gets re-occupied by the next pair looking for a spot.
Valley heat plays a part too. In a run of triple-digit weeks the shade under an array is measurably cooler than the roof around it, which makes it more attractive, not less. And when winter tule fog rolls in, nesting material packed against the roof deck stays damp for days, which is how a bird problem quietly becomes a roof problem.
Critter guard is a rigid galvanized mesh that closes the gap between the bottom edge of your panels and the roof surface. Done properly it is clipped to the array frame, never drilled through a panel and never fastened in a way that creates a new roof penetration. The mesh is cut to the run so there is no gap at a corner, a rake edge or a junction between two panel rows, because that is exactly where a determined pigeon will get in.
The order matters as much as the material. If mesh goes up over an occupied array, you have not excluded birds, you have trapped them, and now you have a dead-bird problem instead of a nesting one. We clear the array first: nests, eggs, material, droppings, all of it out and the surface cleaned and sanitized. Then the barrier goes on.
While the panels are exposed it is the natural moment to wash them. Valley ag dust, pollen and bird deposits all cut output, and a solar panel cleaning done in the same visit costs less than a separate trip later.
Not every home has solar, and pigeons are happy either way. On the barrel tile roofs that are everywhere in Fresno and Clovis, the open ends of the tiles at the eave line are an obvious way in, and once birds are nesting under the tile field you get blocked valleys, debris in the gutters and staining down the fascia. We close those entry points without disturbing the tile course above them.
Covered patios, alcoves and deep eaves are the other repeat offender, especially on two-story homes where a beam or a light fixture gives a bird a protected perch right above a seating area. Depending on the span we use professional-grade spikes to remove the landing surface, or exclusion netting tensioned across the opening so the space is simply no longer available. Spikes on a ledge, netting on an opening, mesh on an array: the material follows the problem, not a one-size kit.
Every clip, cut and anchor gets sized to the gap. A barrier with a weak point is not a barrier, it is a delay, and the birds find it faster than you will.
Exclusion without cleanup is half a job. Droppings are acidic and go to work on panel frames, flashing, painted metal and roofing over time. Nesting material packed under an array traps moisture against the roof deck and blocks the airflow panels need to run cool. And the debris does not stay on the roof, it washes into gutters and downspouts and ends up on the patio and in the yard where your kids and pets are.
So we clear it, clean it and sanitize it. Nests and material out, panels and roof surfaces washed down, gutters checked, ground debris collected, then the affected surfaces sanitized before the barrier goes up. If the gutters are already loaded, gutter cleaning in the same visit makes sense, and if the roof itself is streaked, our soft wash roof cleaning handles that too.
