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.

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Kirkside

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
