Pigeon droppings removal is the cleaning of heavy, caked droppings from structures where birds roost. It can involve scraping, washing, disinfecting and sometimes removal of nests and feathers.

Most housing in Wayne County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 6%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. Summers in Rittman are milder, with July highs around 82 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time.

What bird & bat guano cleanup covers:

HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters

Step by Step: Safe Guano Removal in Rittman, OH

1. Keep everyone away

Family members, tenants, staff and pets stay out while the crew plans the work and gets into protective equipment.

2. Hold the dust down

Moisture and containment keep spores and particles from becoming airborne during removal.

3. Take out contaminated material

Guano, matted insulation and nesting debris are packed out, and salvageable items are set aside for cleaning.

4. Treat and verify

The space is disinfected, deodorized and inspected, and the crew explains what repairs or insulation work may follow.

What Rittman Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

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.

Why shouldn't guano be swept or blown?

Dry droppings turn to fine dust that floats in the air and can carry fungal spores. Sweeping or blowing sends that dust into the air where you breathe it. Wetting first keeps particles on the surface.

Who removes bat guano from an attic?

A guano removal service or cleanup team usually does this work. It involves containment, protective gear, careful removal and disinfecting. Wildlife professionals handle the animals themselves.

Who pays for guano cleanup in a rental?

It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.

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

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.
