We have needles too (fir and redwood) in the Santa Cruz mountains.
I go out on the 1st floor roof and scoop the needles out. I try not to
fall off the roof, and won't go out when its wet. I'm fortunate that
the roof pitch isn't too steep and the roofing material can be
walked on.
If I had to use a ladder to do it it'd take all day instead of an hour
or two and I'd probably have fallen off it by now.
