Bird Proofing in Del Mar, CA.
Bird Proofing for Del Mar homes, done by licensed San Diego County technicians. Pigeons, sparrows, and roof rats love the gap between your panels and roof. Once they nest, you get droppings on the panels, debris in the gutters, and chewed wires.
Why is bird proofing different in Coastal San Diego?
Coastal seagull and pigeon traffic is the worst in San Diego County. Coastal-grade galvanized mesh is mandatory — plastic guards fail in 2-3 years.

How does Del Mar's climate affect this service?
Coastal salt air is the hardest environment in the county on outdoor condensers — copper corrosion on coil fins and fastener rust cut equipment life nearly in half. In Del Mar we use coastal-rated condensers, corrosion-resistant stands, and annual spray-rinse maintenance to push service life back toward spec.. Coastal seagull and pigeon traffic is the worst in San Diego County.
Will the mesh damage my panels or roof?
No. The clips attach to the panel frame, not to the panel surface or to the roof. Manufacturer warranties (LG, REC, SunPower, Panasonic) all permit this attachment method. If you have an active install warranty we coordinate with the installer to keep it intact.
How long does the mesh last?
We use 19-gauge galvanized steel rated for 20+ years in coastal Southern California. Plastic alternatives sold at hardware stores fail in UV in 2-3 years and are not coastal-grade.
