Critter guard · Killeen
Critter guard installation in Killeen.
Squirrels and birds treat the space under an array like a loft. We close that gap in Killeen with stainless mesh fastened to the racking.
What’s included
- Stainless steel mesh cut to the array
- Fastened to racking, not glued to shingles
- Corner and chase closures where animals get in
- Lifetime warranty with a recurring cleaning maintenance plan
What it is
A metal skirt that closes the gap under the array.
A critter guard is stainless mesh fastened to the racking along the open edge of the panels. It blocks the space squirrels and birds use as a loft. It is not glued to the shingles, and it does not cover the glass.
They stop nesting under the panels
Once that gap is open, squirrels and birds move in. The mesh keeps them out.
Wiring stays intact
Nests come with chewing. A chewed conductor means a string replacement, which costs more than the guard.
The roof stays quiet
No scratching, no nest at 2 a.m., and no animals trapped against the modules.
What we see in Killeen
Wildlife
Texas A&M AgriLife says fox squirrels nest in attics and can chew wiring, and house sparrows nest in vents and gaps on buildings. The space under a solar array can look like one of those gaps. We check the array edge for nests and chewed wiring.
