Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in Lyons, NJ

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.

Need residential or commercial guano cleanup in Lyons or nearby parts of Somerset County? You can get help with attics, crawl spaces, barns, rooftops, silos and storage rooms. Why Choose Lyons Biohazard Cleanup Help? You make one call.

Most housing in Somerset County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 2%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. Lyons gets about 47 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood.

What bird & bat guano cleanup covers:

  • Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
  • Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
  • Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
  • Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
  • Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional

The Bat and Bird Droppings Removal Process in Lyons

1. Keep everyone away

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

2. Contain and suit up

Plastic barriers seal the work zone, and technicians put on respirators and disposable suits.

3. Wash and disinfect the structure

Joists, rafters, ledges and walls are washed and disinfected, and stained areas are treated.

4. Sanitize and deodorize

Remaining surfaces are disinfected, and the ammonia-like odor is treated at its source.

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Lyons, NJ

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.

Is bird poop a biohazard?

Large amounts of bird droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can hold germs and fungal spores. A small spot outdoors is a simple wash. Thick buildup in a closed space needs protective gear and wet methods.

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 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.

Should I remove the bats first or clean the guano first?

The animals come out first. Wildlife professionals handle exclusion, and rules about bats can vary by species, season and place. Cleanup follows once the space is no longer in use by animals.

Can I clean a small amount of guano myself?

Sometimes. For a small spot, wear gloves, eye protection and a mask, wet the droppings lightly and wipe them up. Do not sweep or blow them dry. Thick, old or large deposits and attics are better left to a team.
