Histoplasmosis-Aware Guano Removal in Oreland and Montgomery County

Pigeon droppings removal is the cleaning of heavy, caked droppings from structures where birds roost. It can involve scraping, washing, disinfecting and sometimes removal of nests and feathers.

When bats or birds leave droppings on your property in Oreland, you get a crew that wets down and contains the material before removal. The team bags it, disinfects the area and checks the finished work. For Montgomery County jobs, call Oreland Biohazard Cleanup Help.

Many homes in Oreland, about 85%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. Most housing in Montgomery County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 4%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years.

A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:

Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters

What Happens During an Attic Guano Cleanup in Oreland

1. Keep everyone away

Family members, tenants, staff and pets stay out while the crew plans the work and gets into protective equipment.

2. Contain and suit up

Plastic barriers seal the work zone, and technicians put on respirators and disposable suits.

3. Wet, scrape and clear

Droppings are wetted, scraped and collected, and insulation that cannot be cleaned is cut out and bagged.

Wood, drywall and hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, odor is treated, and the crew checks the finished space.

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Oreland, PA

Why shouldn't guano be swept or blown?

Dry droppings turn to fine dust that floats in the air and can carry fungal spores. Sweeping or blowing sends that dust into the air where you breathe it. Wetting first keeps particles on the surface.

Will the smell go away after cleanup?

Often yes, once the guano and soaked materials are removed and the area is treated. Deep stains in wood or drywall may need extra treatment, and the crew can say what to expect.

Can you get sick from bat droppings?

Yes, mainly from breathing in dust from dry droppings. Risk is higher with old, heavy buildup in enclosed spaces. People with asthma, lung conditions or weak immune systems need extra care and should stay out of the area.

Who pays for guano cleanup in a rental?

It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.

Will insurance pay for guano cleanup?

Sometimes, but not always. Many homeowners policies exclude damage from animals that builds up over time, and wording differs. Call your insurer before work starts, take photos and keep receipts.

What rules apply to guano cleanup in Pennsylvania?

Worker safety follows OSHA rules for hazardous dust, and waste disposal is handled according to local requirements. Rules about moving or excluding bats and other wildlife can vary by species and season, so check with a wildlife professional first.
