Why Mulberry homes need this service
- Perimeter mesh fastened to the module frame, no roof deck penetration
- Existing nests and droppings cleared before installation
- Sized for Mulberry's mostly single-story shingle roofs
Homes near the wooded Payne Creek border see more wildlife activity than downtown properties closer to mining land. We install black PVC-coated mesh around the array perimeter to keep animals out regardless of location.
Phosphate mining and processing dust
Mulberry sits inside the active phosphate mining belt itself, not just near its edge. The dust film here is heavier and more consistent than anywhere else in Polk, settling within weeks rather than months even on a freshly cleaned array.
Mine reclamation land dust
Large tracts of reclaimed and active mining land surround the city, and dry-season winds carry fine mineral particulate off exposed ground into residential areas.
Payne Creek area pollen
Homes toward the Payne Creek border pick up a lighter, more typical pollen load from surrounding woodland, a contrast to the mineral-heavy dust closer to downtown.
Mostly older, modest shingle homes in and around downtown, with a smaller share of newer construction toward the city's outer edges near Payne Creek. Single-story with straightforward ground access is the norm.
Rigid galvanized steel mesh with a black powder-coat finish, sized to the exact perimeter of your array so it reads as part of the system rather than a bolt-on cage. The mesh is secured with stainless steel clips that grip the panel frame directly. Nothing is drilled into your roof and no penetrations are created that could later leak.
Guarding an occupied array just traps the problem inside. Every install starts with removing nests, droppings and debris from under the modules, sanitising the deck area, and checking for chewed conductors or damaged conduit while we have the access.
Mulberry sits outside Hillsborough County, so a $50–$100 travel fee applies depending on routing. Booking alongside a neighbour usually removes it.
