Pigeons nesting under solar panels

[Dave]

Any ideas on how to keep pigeons from nesting under solar panels? we have a
major problem under our panels. is there some kind of screening that could
be installed around the edges?

Anything that is too big for them to get through should work.
There are a wide variety of anti-bird nets, screens, wires
and the like being sold out there. Any hardware store is
probably going to carry some of them.

Bird spikes might also work. I see them all the time around
signs and on roofs.

Have you considered turning them into pigeon pie ?

I would build a Solar thermal air panel with a one way door.
This way they can enter and you will have fresh baked pigeon when you come
home from work!.....

We have problems with sea-gulls around here. What works well is a plastic
or wood 'statue' of a large owl. You might try some 'natural enemy' of
pigeons ??
