Understanding the Health Hazards of Bird Droppings

It’s crucial to understand that bird guano isn’t just messy; it’s a biohazard. Accumulations of bird droppings, especially from pigeons and seagulls common in coastal areas like Dawlish, can harbour a range of nasty bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Diseases such as Psittacosis, Histoplasmosis, and Salmonellosis can be transmitted through airborne particles when dry guano is disturbed. People can also slip on wet droppings, leading to falls. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians are trained to handle biohazardous materials safely, using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and professional cleaning methods to minimise risks to you and your family or staff.

Who We Are

Protecting Your Property from Guano Damage

Beyond the health risks, bird guano is highly acidic and incredibly corrosive. Over time, it can cause extensive damage to building materials like brickwork, roofing tiles, paintwork, and even the structural integrity of your property. For businesses, this can mean defaced signage, damaged vehicles, and a general decline in your premises' professional image. We often see guano build-up affecting solar panels, reducing their efficiency and even leading to costly repairs. Our expert cleaning not only removes the mess but helps preserve your investment, ensuring your property remains protected and presentable.

Why Professional Guano Clean-up is Essential

Attempting to clean large amounts of guano yourself can be dangerous and ineffective. Without the right protective equipment, specialist cleaning solutions, and proper waste disposal methods, you risk exposing yourself to harmful pathogens and failing to completely eradicate the problem. Our BPCA-affiliated team at Moorlander Pest Control uses professional-grade equipment, including high-pressure washers, scrapers, and disinfectants, to ensure a deep clean. We also adhere strictly to health and safety guidelines, conducting thorough risk assessments before any work begins, especially in areas like lofts or confined spaces. This meticulous approach guarantees a safe and lasting solution.
