Solar panels are expensive to install and even more expensive to repair. Birds nesting underneath them is one of the most common causes of damage, but Pete’s Pest Control installs professional bird proofing that keeps them out for good.

The gap between a solar panel and your roof is perfect nesting territory. It’s sheltered, elevated, warm, and largely undisturbed. Once a bird finds it, others follow — and once a colony establishes itself under your panels, the problems start stacking up:
Most homeowners don’t realise birds are nesting under their panels until the damage is already done.
We’ve been protecting Toowoomba properties from pest birds for over 10 years, and the approach hasn’t changed.
Good pest control isn’t complicated. Turn up on time, do the job properly, and be there if something comes up. It’s what homeowners and businesses across Toowoomba have come to expect from Pete’s — and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
01
From First Call to Final Installation
We manage the whole process so you don't have to think about it. Book online or give us a call, and we'll assess your system and install the right solution on the day — no repeated visits, no half-measures.
02
Built to Last
The mesh systems we use are designed for Queensland conditions — UV-stabilised and rust-resistant, so they hold up year after year without needing to be redone.
03
Trained, Accredited, and Fully Local
Pete's has been operating in Toowoomba for over a decade. We know the local species, the local conditions, and how to protect your system without touching your panels or voiding your warranty.
The earlier you act, the less there is to deal with. If birds haven’t found your panels yet, proofing now means they never will. If they’re already there, we’ll clear the nest and install the mesh before the damage goes further. We’ll install a purpose-built mesh barrier around the perimeter of your solar panel system, closing off the gap between the panels and your roof. The mesh is UV-stabilised, rust-resistant, and secured to the panel frame without penetrating the panels — so your system’s appearance and warranty remain intact.
It’s a clean, discreet solution that’s invisible from the ground and built to hold up in Queensland conditions year-round. We can also clear out any existing nesting material and droppings before installation, so you’re starting fresh rather than sealing problems in.

I had Malcom come over to do an interior and exterior pest spray and I have to say it was such a pleasant experience.
He started out by telling me exactly what he needed to do to get the job done, and very politely asked if I could close all the windows.
After he was done outside, he did the inside and we had a great chat while he did his work. 10/10 customer experience. Would highly recommend if you need trusting, extremely professional pest control.

Brilliant service! Kylie was so lovely booking us in and emailing and texting through all the details straight after our booking phone call. We were able to request the specific services we needed. They even send email and text reminders and then text you on the day when the technician is on their way to your home. Mark came and out and explained everything to us and even told us all about breeding cycles and habits of the little critters🪳.
He was so easy to have around to house and I felt completely at ease having him there. We would highly recommend Pete’s pest control and we will certainly be using them annually ourselves going forward.

step 01
Book online or call.
Call us or book online. Tell us about your solar system — how many panels, any signs of bird activity you've noticed, and whether you're seeing droppings or hearing noise from the roof.
step 02
We assess.
We inspect your roof and solar system to check for existing nesting, damage, and the best approach for your panel configuration. You'll get a clear quote before any work begins.
step 03
We install.
Any existing nesting material and waste is cleared first, then the mesh barrier is fitted securely around the perimeter of your panels. The whole job is typically completed in a single visit.
step 04
Birds stay out.
The mesh closes off access completely. There's no gap for birds to work their way back through — your panels are protected and your roof stays clean.
Bird proofing is one of the few jobs where acting early saves you money directly.
