Guano, soiled insulation and nesting debris are removed by hand or with HEPA-filtered tools and sealed in heavy bags.

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Galveston, TX

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.

Can pigeon droppings damage a roof or building?

Yes. Droppings are acidic and can stain and wear down paint, metal and roofing over time. They also clog gutters and drains and create slip hazards on walkways. Cleanup and deterrents work best together.

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.

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.

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.

Do I need to replace attic insulation after guano?

Usually, if droppings or urine have soaked into it. Soiled insulation holds contamination and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. After removal, new insulation is installed as a separate job.
