Why Choose Us?
The Hidden Health Risks of Bird Droppings
Many people don't realise the serious health implications associated with bird guano. Pigeon and seagull droppings can harbour a range of nasty pathogens and diseases. For instance, psittacosis, a bacterial infection, can be transmitted through airborne dust from dried droppings, causing flu-like symptoms or even pneumonia. Other risks include histoplasmosis and cryptococcosis, which are fungal diseases found in bird and bat droppings, especially when disturbed. If guano is in your loft, on your balcony, or accumulating near vents, these microscopic particles can easily become airborne and be inhaled, posing a real danger to residents and employees. Safe removal isn't just about cleanliness; it's about public health.

Who We Are
Guano: A Silent Threat to Your Property's Structure
Beyond the health hazards, guano is highly acidic and corrosive. Over time, a significant build-up can eat away at building materials like roofing tiles, metal flashing, masonry, and even vehicle paintwork. This can lead to costly structural damage, compromised integrity of your roof, and blocked guttering, which in turn causes damp and drainage problems. The sheer weight of large accumulations of droppings can also put undue strain on structures. Effective and timely guano removal isn't just about aesthetics; it's a vital part of property maintenance and preservation, preventing long-term depreciation and expensive repairs.

01822 668338Why Expert Guano Clearance is Non-Negotiable
Attempting to clear large amounts of bird guano yourself is incredibly risky. Without the right protective equipment and understanding of safe waste disposal protocols, you expose yourself to dangerous pathogens. Our professional service starts with a detailed risk assessment of the site. Our technicians are fully equipped with specialist Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including respirators, ensuring their safety and yours. We employ industry-approved methods to safely collect, decontaminate, and dispose of the guano and associated nesting materials in line with environmental regulations. Our goal is to not just remove the problem but also to minimise future risks and protect the surrounding environment.

01822 668338Our Safe & Thorough Guano Removal Process
At Moorlander Pest Control, our guano removal process is meticulous and systematic. Once you contact us for guano removal in Torquay or nearby areas, we'll arrange a site visit. Our first step is a comprehensive survey to assess the extent of the accumulation, identify the bird species involved, and determine potential entry points. Next, our team, wearing appropriate protective gear, carefully removes all guano, nesting materials, and any associated waste. We use professional cleaning agents to decontaminate the affected area, eliminating bacteria and odours. Finally, we provide expert advice and can implement bird proofing solutions, such as netting or spikes, to prevent birds from returning and creating the same problem again.
