Guano Cleanup Services for Brevard Roofs, Attics and Ledges

A guano removal service deals with the health risk that bats and birds leave behind, not the animals. Wildlife professionals deal with the animals, and cleanup teams deal with the droppings, stains and odor.

Guano is a respiratory risk, so your Brevard property gets containment, wet methods and protective gear, then disinfecting and inspection before the space is handed back to you. For Transylvania County owners, call Brevard Biohazard Cleanup Help.

With roughly 76 inches of annual rainfall in Brevard, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove. With a vacancy rate of 24% in Transylvania County, unused structures often hold years of droppings by the time someone opens them up.

A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:

Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters

What Brevard Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

How do I get rid of the guano smell?

The odor comes from droppings and urine soaked into wood and insulation, so the fix is removing the source and treating surfaces. Air fresheners only cover it. Deep stains in wood may need extra treatment.

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.

Is bird poop a biohazard?

Large amounts of bird droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can hold germs and fungal spores. A small spot outdoors is a simple wash. Thick buildup in a closed space needs protective gear and wet methods.

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.

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.

Can I clean a small amount of guano myself?

Sometimes. For a small spot, wear gloves, eye protection and a mask, wet the droppings lightly and wipe them up. Do not sweep or blow them dry. Thick, old or large deposits and attics are better left to a team.
