Pigeon and Bird Droppings Cleanup in Messick Buntyn, Memphis, TN

Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil enriched by droppings from birds and bats. Guano cleanup is designed to keep those spores from being breathed in.

Need droppings removed without spreading dust in Messick Buntyn or across Shelby County? You get cleanup technicians who use HEPA-filtered equipment and keep your family members, tenants and staff away from the work area. Call Messick Buntyn Biohazard Cleanup Help.

Many homes in Memphis, about 67%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. A July high of 92 degrees in Messick Buntyn affects how fast guano dries and how strong the ammonia smell gets in a closed attic.

A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:

  • Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
  • Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
  • Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
  • Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
  • Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup

What Messick Buntyn Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

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 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 Messick Buntyn Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

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.

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.

Who removes bat guano from an attic?

A guano removal service or cleanup team usually does this work. It involves containment, protective gear, careful removal and disinfecting. Wildlife professionals handle the animals themselves.

Does guano damage insulation?

Yes. Insulation soaks up droppings, urine and odor and rarely comes back clean, so soiled insulation is usually removed and replaced. A team can tell you how far the damage goes after seeing the attic.
