Why BirdBlocker?

BirdBlocker is renowned for its effective and environmentally friendly solutions to bird-related problems. As the only professional and purpose-built solution available, we ensure your solar investment—whether in homes, businesses, or large-scale facilities—is bird-proof while ensuring no harm to the birds. BirdBlocker is also committed to being animal-friendly . Our solutions are designed to deter birds without causing them harm , ensuring a humane approach to bird-proofing.

South Africa’s sunny climate, vast open spaces, and ongoing energy challenges have made solar power an increasingly popular and practical solution for not only residential and commercial spaces but also larger industrial installations .

Frequent rolling blackouts—known as Loadshedding —and rising electricity tariffs from state-owned provider Eskom have driven more people to seek reliable and cost-effective alternatives. With near-constant sunshine, solar energy offers a sustainable option to supplement the country’s unreliable coal-powered plants. In some provinces, like the Western Cape , homeowners and businesses can even receive reimbursement for feeding excess solar power back into the grid, making solar not just a necessity but also a smart investment .

However, solar panel installations come with their own challenges, particularly in South African cities and across different provinces, where pigeons are a widespread issue. These birds often nest underneath solar panels, reducing their efficiency and potentially causing damage and overheating. In some cases, pigeon nests have even been linked to electrical fires , posing serious risks to both the system and the birds themselves. BirdBlocker specializes in highly effective bird control solutions designed to deter pigeons, protect your solar investment, and ensure maximum efficiency and longevity.

Unlike traditional methods like bird netting or bird spikes , BirdBlocker offers an eco-friendly way to get rid of pigeons and other bird species that roost and nest on your property. These solutions not only protect your solar panels but also stop the buildup of bird droppings , which are unsightly and corrosive and end up reducing their power generating efficiency .

Whether you're looking to deter pigeons, keep all birds at bay , or tackle a broader pest bird issue, BirdBlocker offers tailored solutions for effective bird control . Our expertise helps homeowners and businesses maintain bird-free properties , preserving both aesthetics and functionality. We particularly recommend installing BirdBlocker at food-processing facilities and distribution centers , where food waste and storage conditions often attract birds. By implementing our solutions, these locations can maintain hygiene, prevent contamination, and enhance overall operational efficiency .
