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.

Need residential or commercial guano cleanup in Ancient Oaks or nearby parts of Lehigh County? You can get help with attics, crawl spaces, barns, rooftops, silos and storage rooms. Why Choose Ancient Oaks Biohazard Cleanup Help? You make one call.

Most housing in Lehigh County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 4%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. Ancient Oaks gets about 49 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood.

The work often covers:

  • Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
  • Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
  • Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
  • Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
  • Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Ancient Oaks, PA

What is histoplasmosis?

Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil and droppings from birds and bats. People are exposed by breathing in spores. Many exposed people have no symptoms, and anyone who feels unwell after being around guano should tell a doctor.

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.

Can guano get into ductwork or vents?

Yes, if birds or bats roost near vents or intakes, droppings and dust can enter air paths. Cleanup may include treating vent openings and nearby surfaces.

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 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.

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.
