Most housing in Nassau County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 4%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years.

The work often covers:

  • Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
  • Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
  • Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
  • Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
  • Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Great Neck Gardens

Can I clean a small amount of guano myself?

Sometimes. For a small spot, wear gloves, eye protection and a mask, wet the droppings lightly and wipe them up. Do not sweep or blow them dry. Thick, old or large deposits and attics are better left to a team.

Is bird poop a biohazard?

Large amounts of bird droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can hold germs and fungal spores. A small spot outdoors is a simple wash. Thick buildup in a closed space needs protective gear and wet methods.

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.

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.

Do I need to replace attic insulation after guano?

Usually, if droppings or urine have soaked into it. Soiled insulation holds contamination and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. After removal, new insulation is installed as a separate job.

Does guano cleanup stop bats or birds from coming back?

No. Cleanup removes the mess but does not block entry points. A wildlife professional can seal gaps and use deterrents. Removing droppings and odor does help, since scent can draw animals back.
