How to Get Rid of Squirrels Under Solar Panels

Squirrels are adored animals to many, but there are some instances where these plucky rodents can become nuisance pests, and nesting under solar panels is one such instance. Unlike nuisance birds, squirrels are known to chew through wiring, which spells bad news when it comes to the efficiency and power that is generated through solar

Used Malum to inspect our newly purchased first house as the survey found rate evidence of rats.Dean replied very quickly after we enquired. Gave us plenty of information and a full explanation of the process to be carried out. Luckily no new evidence of rats were found by Dean and his team.He quoted and his team carried out the removal of loft insulation(disposed of correctly), disinfected the area and laid down new insulation in the loft.Fair pricing, quick responses and always kept us up to date with what was going on! Highly recommend.

Dave was honest and did a thorough inspection of our attic for wasps. Also got rid of all the wasps housing in our roof tiles. A few days later, I asked him to come round and get rid of a few stranglers, that we now know hatched afterwards. He sent round one of his team the next day and got rid of them too. They gaurantee the work. High standard of customer care. Happily recommend.

An outstanding business and highly recommended,will definitely use them again in the future.

Solar bird protection - we contacted Malum for a bird protection quote for our new solar panels. Dean was great, explained the products and after some comms gave us a very competitive quote. After seeing examples of his work, we chose him.Upon install day, Dean and Charles came and installed the bird protection. It looks fab and great quality finish. If your looking for bird protection, look no further.If and when we ever need further services from him, we will contact him for sure ☑️

We used Malum to sort a big problem for us involving pidgeons nesting under our solar panels. They guys did a great job, were quick to attend site, proofed the solar panels and sorted the bird mites out for us and even sorted a wasp nest out for our neighbour whilst on site. Highly reccomend them.

Needed bird proofing put around our solar panels and Malum were highly recommended by people who had the same work done. Reasonably priced compared to other quotes we received. Work was complete in under 2 hours. Would highly recommend.

We had a serious Pigeon Infestation beneath our solar panels, they were slowly ruining our gutters and roof tiles and fouling everything below. After having a chat with Dean he came straight round and provided a quote, due to the height of our house and the access we needed to have scaffolding. Dean was able to sort this and everything came together. The job itself is very well done, the guys used black mesh which can't be seen from the ground, all gutters cleared and no more pigeons!!!Very happy and will be recommending Dean and his team.

Dean & Charles fitted a proofing mesh around my solar panels. They did an awesome job, even given the slight challenges with the weather. Arranged the scaffolding, and done in a matter of hours! This is the second time I have used this company as had an ant infestation during summer last year, and resolved the issue! Would highly recommend this company.

Dean and the team are amazing! I had a problem with mice and had tried to get my local council to sort, but despite a few call outs it was getting worse. Dean and his team came in and sorted it straight away. They’re always genuine and go above and beyond to help their customer. I’ve always found them to be honest and incredibly helpful. Would thoroughly recommend them.

Dean responded immediately to our initial enquiry (despite it being the weekend), and Dave was round two days later to remove the problem - a very large, but thankfully inactive, wasps nest in the loft - *not* something I’d want to tackle myself. I’m hoping it won’t happen again, but if it does I know who to call!

Malum pest control were fantastic dealing with a problem of pigeons nesting under our solar panels. The mesh installed was very neat and the area under the panels and our gutters were thoroughly cleared before installation. Dean and his colleague were fantastic. We also had ridge spikes installed. Excellent outcome we are now pigeon free.

Having had solar panels for 5 years we had never had a bird problem, until now. Pigeons, and to boot pigeon noise and droppings all over the roof, gutters, panels and worse the patio below where our children play.Dean was amazing. Organised the scaffolding, cleaned the roof/gutters, and fixed bird spikes to the panels so they couldn't get under anymore. The result, no more noise, and more importantly, no more bird droppings.Great value, great communications, great job. Highly recommended.

I called Malum Pest Control as I had 'noises' in my roof. As luck would have it, Dean was only five minutes away and I literally put the phone down to Dave to find Dean on my doorstep! He found the issue almost immediately - mice. He was back the following week to discover that the mice were very hungry and had eaten all the bait so he laid more and promised to return in 10 days. Today after a thorough checking the trays were untouched and the mice were no more. Dean couldn't have been more helpful and I can't recommend Malum highly enough.

I contacted Malum about an on going hornet issue myself and my neighbour had been experiencing and within 48hours Dean had arrived to investigate. Dean removed the hornets. His product knowledge was incredible very informative not only did Dean help myself and my neighbour he gave us information about what else could happen in the future how to help ourselves in the future and what to expect after treatment!Dean was very polite and professional thank you for making my garden safe for our family and dog! I hope I never have to use pest services again! But if I am unfortunate enough I would happily use Malum again!

Woke up on Christmas Eve morning to find that something had chewed through waste pipe at rear of recently refitted bathroom toilet. No point in replacing pipe until culprits dealt with! My call to Malum was answered promptly and Dave was with us within an hour! After investigating and lifting manhole covers outside he identified evidence of rodent (rat) activity. Dave fitted a non return (one way) valve to soil pipe to block access. He then placed bait out to deal with any stragglers. After hearing stories about pest controllers from others I was fully expecting an extortionate bill - made even higher by it being in the Bank Holiday period - but I was told from the outset what it would cost, and that cost was very reasonable, including the follow up visits to make sure the problem is resolved. Superb service at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended!

Malum came to sort out a rodent problem we had. I could not be happier with the efficient, effective and friendly service they provided. They were clear on costs and treatment, reassured me and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Absolutely fantastic. Joe arrived promptly, was very friendly and professional, was not concerned where the bumble bee nest was, had appropriate tools to access nest and put the area back to how it was before. Excellent, very knowledgeable, and put my mind at rest regarding the likelihood of re-infestation, and also how he was going to manage preserving the queen and her colony. Would absolutely use again for any issues with infestations/pests. Thank you.
