Pigeon and Bird Droppings Cleanup in River Run, Fort Lauderdale, FL
A guano removal service deals with the health risk that bats and birds leave behind, not the animals. Wildlife professionals deal with the animals, and cleanup teams deal with the droppings, stains and odor.

About 20% of housing in Fort Lauderdale is vacant, and empty buildings, barns and lofts give bats and birds quiet places to roost undisturbed. River Run gets about 64 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood.

- Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
- Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
- Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
How Guano Cleanup Works in River Run, Fort Lauderdale, FL

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

What River Run Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
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.
Is it safe to stay home during guano cleanup?
For work in a sealed attic, many people stay in the home while crews work with containment. For heavy contamination or open spaces, it may be better to stay away. The team will say what is best for your situation.
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.
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.
Can you get sick from bat droppings?
Yes, mainly from breathing in dust from dry droppings. Risk is higher with old, heavy buildup in enclosed spaces. People with asthma, lung conditions or weak immune systems need extra care and should stay out of the area.
What if droppings are on a roof or high ledge?
Roof and high ledge work needs fall protection and care around other people. Crews can remove and wash droppings there, and a property manager or owner can set up access.
