Bird Proofing

What it is

Bird proofing is designed to stop birds from nesting and settling in sheltered areas around your home. We clear existing nesting material and debris, then install physical barriers around problem areas like solar arrays, eaves, roof openings, and common landing spots.

Why it matters

Birds often return to the same sheltered areas once they've found a place to nest. Over time, that can mean recurring droppings, nesting material, noise, and buildup around the roof and solar array. Cleaning the mess helps, but closing off the access points helps keep the problem from starting over.

What Terva includes

  • Existing nests, droppings, and debris cleared from the areas being treated
  • Metal exclusion mesh installed around the perimeter of solar arrays where needed
  • Targeted eaves and sheltered roof openings closed off with appropriate exclusion material
  • Bird-deterrent spikes installed at targeted ridge lines and common landing areas where appropriate
  • Solar-panel exclusion installed without drilling into the panels
  • Installation debris and removed nesting material cleaned up before we leave
  • Before-and-after photos of the treated areas

How it helps

  • Sheltered nesting areas are physically closed off instead of only cleaned
  • Helps reduce recurring droppings, nesting material, and bird activity around treated areas
  • Helps keep the space beneath solar panels and other protected roof areas cleaner
  • Targets the places birds are actually using rather than treating the entire roof unnecessarily
  • Before-and-after photos let you see what was removed and where the exclusion was installed

Before we get started

Every roof, solar array, and bird problem is a little different. We'll look at where the birds are getting in, where they're nesting or landing, and what needs to be protected before confirming the scope and price.

  • Bird proofing is an exclusion service. The goal is to block access and discourage birds from returning to the treated areas, not harm them.
