Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in Lincoln, ND

Pigeon droppings removal is the cleaning of heavy, caked droppings from structures where birds roost. It can involve scraping, washing, disinfecting and sometimes removal of nests and feathers.

If you are a homeowner, landlord or property manager in Lincoln, ND, you can get bat and bird guano removal. Crews work at any hour in attics, lofts, rooftops, chimneys, balconies and warehouses across Burleigh County. To start, call Lincoln Biohazard Cleanup Help.

Most housing in Burleigh County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 6%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. Lincoln is on the drier side, with about 19 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal.

The work often covers:

Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops

The team asks where droppings were found, how thick they are and whether bats or birds are still using the space.

2. Set up protection

Barriers and air controls go up, and the team wears protective gear before touching anything.

3. Remove what cannot be cleaned

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

What Lincoln Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

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.

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.

Why shouldn't guano be swept or blown?

Dry droppings turn to fine dust that floats in the air and can carry fungal spores. Sweeping or blowing sends that dust into the air where you breathe it. Wetting first keeps particles on the surface.

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.

How do I know if I have bats in my attic?

Common signs are dark droppings that crumble, stains on walls near gaps, a strong ammonia smell and squeaking or scratching at dusk and dawn. Droppings often collect in piles below entry points. A wildlife professional can confirm it.

Does guano damage insulation?

Yes. Insulation soaks up droppings, urine and odor and rarely comes back clean, so soiled insulation is usually removed and replaced. A team can tell you how far the damage goes after seeing the attic.
