Airmont gets about 51 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood. Most housing in Rockland County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 5%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years.

A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:

  • Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
  • Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
  • Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
  • 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

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Airmont

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 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.

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.

Does guano cleanup stop bats or birds from coming back?

No. Cleanup removes the mess but does not block entry points. A wildlife professional can seal gaps and use deterrents. Removing droppings and odor does help, since scent can draw animals back.

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.

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.
