Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in West Glens Falls, NY

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.

Only about 42% of homes in West Glens Falls were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in. About 25% of housing in Warren County is vacant, and empty buildings, barns and lofts give bats and birds quiet places to roost undisturbed.

A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:

  • Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
  • Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
  • Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
  • Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
  • Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved

How Guano Cleanup Works in West Glens Falls, NY

1. Find every deposit

Crews check roost sites, rafters, ledges and insulation, since droppings build up where animals return again and again.

2. Wet down thick deposits

Heavy or caked droppings are softened with a light mist so they can be lifted without raising dust.

3. Remove and bag

Guano, soiled insulation and nesting debris are removed by hand or with HEPA-filtered tools and sealed in heavy bags.

4. Clean the air and surfaces

HEPA filtration clears the air, surfaces are disinfected, and the owner is walked through the result.

Common Questions About Guano Removal in West Glens Falls, NY

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.

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.

How do you clean pigeon droppings safely?

Wet the droppings lightly, scrape them into a bag, then wash and disinfect the surface. Wear gloves, eye protection and a mask. Large roost areas, rooftops and enclosed spaces are best left to a team.

How do I get rid of the guano smell?

The odor comes from droppings and urine soaked into wood and insulation, so the fix is removing the source and treating surfaces. Air fresheners only cover it. Deep stains in wood may need extra treatment.

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.

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.
