The Problem: A homeowner in the bustling Mueller neighborhood of Austin discovered a persistent pigeon problem: multiple active nests had been established beneath their solar panel arrays. This situation created unsanitary conditions, potential damage to the solar infrastructure, and the necessity for thorough clearance before a third-party company could install protective critter guards. The presence of live baby birds further complicated the required removal process.

The Solution: Our expert Prickly Pear Wildlife team deployed quickly to address the challenging situation. Navigating a steep roof pitch and multiple solar arrays, our technicians meticulously located and humanely removed all pigeon nests and associated debris.

Despite initial challenges with power access for specialized equipment, our team adapted, utilizing advanced safety gear, including a roof anchor ('goat'), and deploying multiple technicians to ensure complete and efficient clearance of all three solar arrays. A final inspection confirmed no nests remained, preparing the site perfectly for the subsequent critter guard installation.

The Outcome: With all pigeon nests and debris expertly removed, the homeowner in Mueller gained complete peace of mind, knowing their solar panels were free of unwanted guests.
