Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Minneola

Does guano cleanup stop bats or birds from coming back?

No. Cleanup removes the mess but does not block entry points. A wildlife professional can seal gaps and use deterrents. Removing droppings and odor does help, since scent can draw animals back.

Do barns and old buildings need special handling?

Buildings with years of buildup can hold thick, dry, dusty guano that is easy to disturb. Crews ventilate, wet down and use respirators and containment to keep spores out of the air.

What should I do first if I find guano?

Do not sweep, blow or vacuum it. Keep people and pets away and leave it undisturbed until you know the size of the job. Call Minneola Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

Is guano dangerous?

It can be. Dry guano releases fine dust, and some bird and bat droppings can carry a fungus linked to histoplasmosis, a lung infection. Many people never get sick, but older, heavy deposits carry more risk. Avoid stirring it up.

What if droppings are on a roof or high ledge?

Roof and high ledge work needs fall protection and care around other people. Crews can remove and wash droppings there, and a property manager or owner can set up access.

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.
