Why Choose Us?
Why Accumulated Bird Droppings Are a Serious Problem
You might think bird droppings are just a bit messy, but large accumulations of guano pose significant risks. Firstly, they can harbour and transmit serious diseases like Psittacosis, Histoplasmosis, and Salmonellosis, which can become airborne when disturbed. This creates a genuine health hazard for anyone nearby. Beyond the health concerns, guano is highly acidic and corrosive. Over time, it can cause extensive and costly damage to building materials, including stonework, metal, and roofing. Plus, the sheer volume of droppings can block gutters and drains, leading to water damage, and their smell can attract other pests, compounding the problem.

Who We Are
Our Safe & Thorough Guano Clearance Process
Dealing with guano requires specialist knowledge and equipment to ensure safety and effectiveness. When you call Moorlander Pest Control, our process begins with a detailed site assessment and risk assessment of the affected area. This allows us to understand the extent of the problem and plan the safest approach. Our technicians arrive equipped with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and use professional-grade tools to carefully and thoroughly remove the guano. We always work to minimise dust and airborne particles, safeguarding your health and the environment. Once the droppings are removed, we ensure all associated waste is safely bagged and disposed of according to strict regulations, and the area is disinfected to eliminate any remaining pathogens.

01822 668338Protecting Your Health: Understanding Guano-Related Diseases
The health risks associated with bird guano are very real and highlight why professional removal is absolutely essential. Bird droppings can contain various fungi, bacteria, and viruses that, once dried, can become airborne and inhaled. Diseases such as Psittacosis, a bacterial infection sometimes known as "parrot fever," can lead to flu-like symptoms, pneumonia, or even more severe conditions. Histoplasmosis, caused by a fungus found in bird and bat droppings, can affect the lungs and other organs. DIY attempts at guano removal without proper protective equipment can expose you to these serious health risks. Our team is trained to handle these biohazards safely, prioritising your health and the well-being of anyone using the space.

01822 668338Beyond Removal: Preventing Future Bird Fouling
While thorough guano removal is crucial, it's often just the first step. To effectively solve the problem long-term, it's vital to address why birds are roosting or nesting in that particular area. At Moorlander Pest Control, we don't just clear the mess; we offer expert advice and solutions for bird proofing your property. This might involve installing robust bird netting, discreet anti-roosting spikes, or innovative post and wire systems to deter birds from returning. For homeowners in Ashburton with solar panels, we also specialise in bird proofing these installations to prevent birds from nesting underneath and causing further guano accumulation and potential damage.
