20+ Years Experience
Specialist Guano Cleaning
Bird droppings, or bird guano, can be a small but constant annoyance in any outdoor space. While it might not seem all that important, Pigeon droppings are considered hazardous waste and potentially harmful to human health.
Our April 2024 bird guano cleaning service provides an easy way to get bird droppings cleaned up and removed with minimal downtime.
No matter the size of the affected area or the number of specific areas that need to be cleaned, our team can carry out proper disposing of droppings from nesting pigeons and other bird types effectively.
We are an accredited cleaning team who have a strong history of experience with bird droppings removal. While it can seem like a small niche at first, cleaning guano is a vital part of removing human health hazards from outdoor spaces – especially in large quantities.
As a team, we have a range of professional certifications from major health and safety organisations. Many of these come from our risk assessment work and our skill at removing bird droppings before they can pose any health risks to people and buildings nearby.
We have over 10 years of experience with trying to safely remove bird droppings in both small and large-scale cleaning operations. Alongside this, our guano removal service has involved us working with a variety of ventilation systems, bacteria removal methods and contamination protocols.
The cost of cleaning up bird droppings depends entirely on the individual project. Large quantities of bid guano can be difficult to remove, and guano particles can become dangerous without the right equipment to handle them safely.
We approach each situation from the perspective of fully-trained cleaning experts, working to remove guano in a way that is both effective and budget-friendly for our clients. Costs can vary based on the size of the affected areas, the quantity of droppings, and even the type of pest birds that the droppings have come from.
Our bird guano cleaning service has served a range of locations, many of which were outdoor public spaces that began to see bird droppings in large quantities.
The more guano particles there are in one area, the greater the risks of disease and infection in humans become. Beyond that, many pest birds tend to linger around any building or space where humans often carry food, leading to even more bird droppings over time.
Our bird guano removal service can help with areas like:
As you might expect, any business or outdoor space with a focus on food needs to deal with guano quickly. Like most dangerous substances, you do not want to be in an area full of diseased guano while ingesting something – even the slightest contact could spread some major diseases.
Remember that these diseases are not always obvious, too. Sometimes guano contains parasites that can have a lingering impact on people who get exposed to them or cause a sickness that will not manifest symptoms for a few days.
Bird droppings are more than just a nuisance. Bird guano, along with any nesting material that birds may drop, can be directly harmful to humans.
Large amounts of bird droppings are considered hazardous waste. Pigeon guano or waste from other birds can lead to a build-up of droppings, which could host diseases like chlamydia psittaci. Even regular droppings can run the risk of having diseases in them, which can easily spread to humans.
Guano also increases the risk of infection with various conditions and diseases, mostly from the waste itself. Inhaling guano particles and dust can lead to disease, and it is essential to protect yourself from animal diseases whenever they may be present.
Some bird droppings may also carry parasites and other dangerous organisms that can spread disease, infect you themselves, or otherwise spread the infection to nearby non-human organisms. This includes the feathers of other birds, which can then die from the disease and continue to spread it.
In general, the risk of leaving guano to build up to large numbers of bird droppings is a serious risk to take. Contact with bird droppings is enough to spread disease or lead to major health concerns, so cleaning guano removal options is the best way to minimise any potential danger.
Guano removal is exactly what it sounds like – taking the essential step to protect others by cleaning surfaces of bird droppings. Guano removal is just like the removal of any other waste, although with different cleaning techniques and risk assessment steps.
The risk of letting guano build up on a surface, especially in a building or on a path between multiple buildings, is serious. Bird droppings can harm animals and humans that come into contact with them, compromise the safety of entire buildings by spreading disease, and just generally make a surface look horrible.
While feathers and nesting material are often cleaned up, pigeon guano usually goes forgotten. Bird guano removal is important for trying to protect the health of people present in the buildings nearby, and refusing to clean up pigeon guano can often compromise safety standards designed to protect those people from risk.
“We were getting so many gulls and pigeon droppings that people started using the front door on other side of the building. Your services have helped us with cleaning up the waste that was turning customers away.”
“Your cleaning team got rid of every speck of dried guano around our building, and we’re incredibly thankful to have a clean office again.”
“One of the biggest health and safety risk factors was the danger of infection through dropping contact. Your bird dropping removal services worked extremely well as part of our safety overhauls. “
While many people think that bird guano is harmless but annoying, bird dropping contamination is a serious issue. In larger amounts, personal protective equipment and a breathing apparatus may be required just to remove the pigeon droppings safely.
Even in small amounts, rubber gloves and other protective clothing can be vital for removing bird guano without potentially endangering the cleaners.
When guano breaks down, it releases waste pathogens into the air. These can be dangerous if inhaled, so being aware and wearing proper protective equipment is important. This is not just dust but actual waste products being released into the air that can severely harm your health.
Improper removal of bird guano – or even contact with pigeon guano as a whole – can cause health risks like lung respiratory infections and chest pains. The more severe the exposure, the worse the health concerns.
Without protective equipment, the dust and debris from touching (or even cleaning) pigeon guano can affect the lungs, your throat, your head, and even your vision. Bird dropping exposure is no small matter, and the more pigeon droppings pile up in one area, the more urgent proper cleaning becomes.
Bird guano is considered so toxic that it is classified as hazardous waste, regardless of the birds it came from. Even pigeon droppings from the otherwise-mostly-harmless pigeon are dangerous enough to require proper removal and cleaning as soon as possible.
While it might not be as immediately dangerous as some other substances, guano has the problem of being a constant issue. If birds are in the area, then they will be leaving droppings, and some are much more likely to host diseases than others.
Even if you take steps to dissuade birds from lingering around, you will eventually need to clean up the droppings. Depending on how fresh they are, there is a very good chance that at least one bird in that area could have left droppings containing disease.
All birds produce guano in some form or another, from pigeons to exotic bird types. In general, the more unhealthy and disease-related each bird is, the more dangerous their bird guano becomes. Naturally, for a bird like a pigeon, disease is going to be a lot more common.
Pigeon droppings are known for containing major diseases, meaning that the removal of droppings from pigeons often requires more urgency than any other bird. Pigeons can host a range of diseases, and their bird guano is far more likely to contain parasite organisms and other infections that said pigeons will unknowingly transmit to humans or other animals over time.
The cleaning techniques and services used to clean guano from different bird types are usually the same, so our services remain constant no matter which kind of airborne pests you might be dealing with.
Guano removal is an important part of keeping any space clear and safe, even if it is something that might seem very minor at first. Not many people realise just how dangerous bird droppings can be, and the longer they are left unchecked, the harder it becomes to ensure that you are getting rid of them all.
While a bird’s nest might seem like a more immediate source of hassle, it is very easy to overlook the droppings. If you are not taking steps to deal with them, an outdoor area can gradually become more and more hazardous to anybody trying to enjoy their time outdoors with birds around.
Whether you have a bird’s nest problem or just want to keep your space clean, make sure that you deal with droppings first and foremost. They can be the biggest immediate threat to the people around you, and ignoring them can only make the problem worse over time.
