Finding large accumulations of bird droppings, known as guano, around your home or business in Lostwithiel can be more than just an unsightly mess. It signals a potential health hazard and a risk to your property's structure. At Moorlander Pest Control, we understand these concerns.

Why Choose Us?
Why Professional Guano Clearance is Absolutely Essential
Accumulated bird guano is far from harmless. It poses significant health risks due to pathogens, bacteria, and fungal spores that can become airborne, leading to serious respiratory diseases like psittacosis (ornithosis) and histoplasmosis. Direct contact can also cause skin irritation. Beyond health concerns, guano is highly acidic and can cause extensive damage to buildings, corroding roofing materials, paintwork, and structural elements over time. It can also block gutters, leading to damp issues. Attempting to clean it yourself without the correct protective equipment and knowledge of safe disposal can expose you to these dangers. That’s why you need experts like us to tackle the problem effectively and safely.

Who We Are
The Moorlander Approach to Safe Guano Removal
Our guano removal process is designed for maximum safety and effectiveness, protecting both our technicians and your property. It begins with a comprehensive site assessment to determine the extent of the contamination, identify the type of guano, and assess associated risks. Our highly trained team then deploys professional-grade protective equipment, including respirators and specialist suits, to prevent exposure to harmful pathogens. We meticulously remove all bird droppings using methods that minimise dust and spore dispersal, followed by thorough disinfection of the affected areas to eradicate any remaining bacteria or viruses. All waste is then safely bagged and disposed of in compliance with environmental regulations.

Ignoring a build-up of guano isn't an option. As mentioned, it's a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi that can transmit diseases, posing a particular risk to those with compromised immune systems, the elderly, and young children. Beyond the health aspect, the corrosive nature of bird droppings means they can eat away at building materials. This includes lead roofing, brickwork, fascias, and even solar panels. This damage can lead to costly repairs if left untreated, making professional guano removal a wise investment for property maintenance and safety.
