Bird & Bat Guano Cleanup in Shoreline, WA

Pigeon and Bird Droppings Cleanup in Shoreline, WA

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.

If your home, barn, church or business in Shoreline or elsewhere in King County has guano problems, you can get guano cleanup. A cleanup team works in respirators and protective suits and follows workplace safety rules for hazardous dust. Call Shoreline Biohazard Cleanup Help to begin.

Summers in Shoreline are milder, with July highs around 76 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time. About 65% of homes in Shoreline were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter.

What bird & bat guano cleanup covers:

  • Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
  • Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
  • Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
  • Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
  • Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures

What Shoreline Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
