Do you offer pigeon proofing in Chelmsford?
Yes. The Exterminator Pest Control provides pigeon proofing in Chelmsford and surrounding areas across Essex and Suffolk for domestic and commercial properties.
Why are pigeons nesting under my solar panels?

For solar panels, a strong galvanised wire mesh is often recommended. This can be fixed around the panels using specialist clips, helping stop pigeons from getting underneath without damaging the panels.

No, when installed correctly. The Exterminator Pest Control uses specialist clips designed to secure proofing materials without drilling into or damaging the solar panels.
