What makes Hawkeye different from other wildlife control companies?

Hawkeye is the ONLY pest bird and animal/wildlife control company in Canada designated "Certified Wildlife Control Professional" AND holding the following permits/licenses:

Trapping of Fur Bearing Animals
In contrast to all other companies, we can euthanize the bird or fur bearing animal, thus guaranteeing it will not return.

Commercial Falconry Permit
We use Birds of Prey (hawks, owls, falcons, eagles) to scare, chase, or remove in a natural and humane way.

Ontario Pest Control License
We can employ chemical solutions to certain problems. These methods include natural pesticides.

Trapping of Fur Bearing Animals Permit Shooting in Sensitive Environments
Our extensive training and certifications allow us to use pyrotechnics or firearms, even in urban settings.

We offer PERMANENT solutions above and beyond what other companies can offer. GUARANTEED.

35+ years of Bird and Animal Wildlife Control probably speaks for itself.

Our love for and experience in dealing with Pest Birds and Animal Wildlife has taken us to Airports, Hospitals, Municipal Parks and Marinas, High Rise Buildings, Manufacturing Plants, and to homes all across southern Ontario.

Our unique approach and proprietary equipment as well as our extensive training truly set us apart. All of our technicians are licensed trappers and undergo continued training in areas of safety and best practices.

How Do I Get Rid of Pigeons Under My Solar Panels?

If you have noticed pigeons gathering and nesting under the solar panels on your commercial property, there are a few steps you can take to successfully remove the birds and/or prevent further nesting and congregating.

Why Is It a Problem to Have Pigeons Under My Solar Panels?

While it may not seem all that terrible to have pigeons residing under your solar panels, there are several reasons why this can actually become a problem. One of the main concerns is the potential damage that these birds can cause with their nesting habits and droppings.

Birds can cause significant damage and destruction to solar panels simply from perching on the panels, wiring, and brackets. Their talons and beaks can scratch the surface, reducing the longevity of the panels. Pigeons are also known to build their nests with materials that can be harmful to the panels, such as twigs and debris and their droppings can corrode the panels over time, leading to a decrease in efficiency and increased maintenance costs.

How do I prevent Pigeons from nesting under my Solar Panels?

Professional wildlife experts recommend using wire mesh around the solar panels to prevent pigeons from building nests. Ledge Protection Systems such as roof spikes may offer some success as well. Contrary to what you may read on the Internet, fake plastic or stone predators are NOT a viable option for deterring pigeons - they no not work.

Additionally, having your solar panels regularly inspected and maintained can help decrease the likelihood of pigeons roosting or nesting on or near the panels. Maintenance should include keeping the glass and surrounding area clean and free of debris.

How do I remove Pigeons if they have already settled?

Reputable companies will use humane trapping methods to capture the pigeons without harm and remove them from the area. Hawkeye Bird & Animal Control deploys proprietary traps - designed by and for us exclusively. Falconry is a bit more difficult (read: costly), but could be useful, if used in combination with other control methods.
