The Importance of Physical Proofing in 2026
As we move into 2026, pest control in Wales emphasizes biodiversity and stricter rodenticide regulations. Physical proofing (pest exclusion) is now the gold standard for protecting rural assets. At Welsh Town and Country Pest Control – Farm Division, led by David Hill, we focus on preventing problems before they start — especially for squirrel proofing solar panels Wales and bird netting solar farms Carmarthenshire.
Birds and squirrels can cause severe damage. Birds contaminate feed and roofing, while squirrels gnaw electrical wiring and timber. On solar PV arrays, these pests threaten sensitive cables and system integrity. Our solutions identify vulnerabilities and seal them with industrial-strength, permanent materials — including permanent pigeon exclusion Tywi Valley and grey squirrel exclusion rural estates.
Why Choose Exclusion Over Reactive Control?
Reactive trapping addresses symptoms, not the root cause. Proofing is a one-time investment offering years of protection. Specialist mesh, spikes, and barriers make the site inaccessible, safe, and 100% poison-free, suitable for organic farms, wildlife-sensitive areas, and locations near watercourses — perfect for barn bird proofing Red Tractor audits or solar array bird mesh Ammanford installations.
Our Specialised Proofing Solutions
1. Solar Panel Bird Proofing (Pigeon Exclusion)
Solar farms across the Tywi Valley and Carmarthenshire are vulnerable to pigeons. Gaps under panels allow nesting, leading to guano build-up, corrosion, and fire hazards. Our solar-grade mesh and clips create a permanent barrier without drilling, preserving warranties and keeping birds safe — ideal for solar array bird mesh Ammanford and surrounding sites.
2. Squirrel Exclusion for Barns & Outbuildings
Grey squirrels can cause thousands of pounds in damage to roofs, wiring, and timber. Our top-to-bottom survey identifies entry points and seals them using heavy-gauge steel mesh or structural repairs. We also advise on tree management to prevent rooftop access — trusted for humane squirrel loft proofing Brecon and rural estate protection.
3. Bird Spiking & Netting for Feed Stores
For Red Tractor or SALSA audits, bird contamination is a risk. We install netting and spikes to protect grain and silage, ensuring compliance and livestock safety — including barn bird proofing Red Tractor standards and bird spiking feed stores Powys requirements.

Frequently Asked Proofing Questions
Is proofing more expensive than trapping?
Proofing has higher upfront costs but prevents repeated infestations, saving money in the long term — especially for bird netting solar farms Carmarthenshire and grey squirrel exclusion rural estates.
Can you proof historical farm buildings?
Yes. We use sympathetic stainless steel or copper meshes that blend into eaves and rafters, protecting aesthetics while delivering barn bird proofing Red Tractor compliance.
Will bird mesh affect solar panel efficiency?
No. Mesh is installed around the array perimeter and does not cover panel surfaces or affect output — ideal for solar array bird mesh Ammanford and similar sites.
