Bird droppings make roof surfaces very slippery, increasing the chance of slipping and falling. In summer, heat and sun exposure can quickly lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke. In winter, water used while cleaning can freeze on the roof and become even more hazardous. Trying to install pigeon proofing yourself is risky and not recommended. Working on a roof is dangerous, especially without safety gear like harnesses and anchors. Some solar panels are installed right near the edge of the roof, which adds extra risk since even a small slip in those areas can lead to a serious fall. DIY installs also often fail if not done correctly, which can let birds come back or cause damage to the roof. A professional service has the right equipment, training, and experience to do the job safely and correctly the first time.
