Our bird dropping removal experts are available for clients across the nation.
Before we begin the cleaning process, our technicians will conduct a thorough risk assessment of the affected property. All surfaces impacted by bird guano, pigeon guano, or bird droppings could have sustained damage due to the uric acid present, therefore requiring a specific cleaning method. We adhere to health and safety regulations at all times, for not only our own cleaner's safety but the safety of anyone who resides nearby.
Our guano removal solutions are strong chemical mixtures that ensure complete decontamination of a surface, whilst also attacking the uric acid that could be eating through building materials. Indoor areas affected by guano are closed off and sealed to prevent the escape of infectious particles that could damage external areas.
Depending on the amount of bird droppings present, we may repeat this process several times, ensuring that any traces of disease and infection are eradicated.
What are the health risks of bird droppings?
Aside from slip hazards and bird flu, birds carry various diseases that become airborne if the guano is left alone, and is absorbed by the surface over time. There are many illnesses that you need to be aware of if you spot bird droppings on your home which include the following:
E.coli
This bacteria we often associate with waste is usually spread through birds via their consumption of manure and other animal wastes.
Salmonella
Although salmonella is more likely to occur in food poisoning incidents, birds are vital carriers of this bacteria.
Histoplasmosis
This respiratory disease has the potential to become fatal, especially if you are considered a vulnerable individual with a weak immune system. This organism is a type of fungus that thrives in pigeon droppings, potentially infecting soil.
Cryptococcosis
Inhaling this organism will affect various parts of your body, and is often found in the intestines of common birds like pigeons and magpies.
Psittacosis
This infection is caused by inhaling the bacterium of any bird droppings. Although the symptoms are mild, they can quickly develop into more serious consequences like pneumonia.
Candidiasis
Pigeon droppings encourage the spread of this fungal infection, which can attack your respiratory system and reproductive system. Immunocompromised individuals are more at risk of this infection, potentially resulting in death.
Why you should not try to conduct bird dropping cleaning alone
Guano not only poses a severe health risk, but you may inflict damage to your property worse in attempting to clean it. Due to the amount of acid present in pigeon droppings, the damage caused will require specialist cleaning techniques that are not available to the public.
Using harsh cleaning equipment like jet washers or scrubbers could inflict further structural damage, and will also spread the bacteria in the guano. If you spot bird droppings on your vehicle or property, you must contact expert guano cleaners who will be able to effectively remove all traces of pigeon droppings.
How to prevent guano from landing on your property
Keeping birds away from your property can prove difficult, especially if you are living in a rented home where your options may be more limited. There are a few deterrents you can try to limit the amount of bird droppings on your property:
- Remove any open water sources like bird baths
- Place plastic statues of predatory birds around
- Hang shiny or reflective decorations
- Hang a wind chime outside
- Maintain your garden by trimming hedges and trees
- Remove any open food sources
