Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in Accokeek, MD

Bat and bird guano remediation is the full job of removal, disinfecting and deodorizing after animals have been excluded. It often precedes insulation replacement, repairs and sealing of entry points by other trades.

When bats or birds leave droppings on your property in Accokeek, you get a crew that wets down and contains the material before removal. The team bags it, disinfects the area and checks the finished work. For Prince George's County jobs, call Accokeek Biohazard Cleanup Help.

Most housing in Prince George's County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 5%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. Accokeek gets about 47 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood.

Bird & Bat Guano Cleanup in Accokeek usually includes:

  • Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
  • Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
  • Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
  • Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
  • Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings

How Crews Contain and Remove Guano in Accokeek, MD

1. Keep everyone away

Family members, tenants, staff and pets stay out while the crew plans the work and gets into protective equipment.

2. Hold the dust down

Moisture and containment keep spores and particles from becoming airborne during removal.

3. Remove what cannot be cleaned

Soiled insulation, stained cardboard and nesting debris go into sealed bags, and hard surfaces are scrubbed.

4. Sanitize and deodorize

Remaining surfaces are disinfected, and the ammonia-like odor is treated at its source.

What Accokeek Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

What is histoplasmosis?

Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil and droppings from birds and bats. People are exposed by breathing in spores. Many exposed people have no symptoms, and anyone who feels unwell after being around guano should tell a doctor.

Will insurance pay for guano cleanup?

Sometimes, but not always. Many homeowners policies exclude damage from animals that builds up over time, and wording differs. Call your insurer before work starts, take photos and keep receipts.

How much does guano removal cost?

It depends on the size of the area, the depth of the deposit, how much insulation must come out and how hard the space is to reach. A small ledge costs less than a full attic. The team sets the price after seeing the space.

What if droppings are on a roof or high ledge?

Roof and high ledge work needs fall protection and care around other people. Crews can remove and wash droppings there, and a property manager or owner can set up access.

What should I do first if I find guano?

Do not sweep, blow or vacuum it. Keep people and pets away and leave it undisturbed until you know the size of the job. Call Accokeek Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

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.
