Bird and Bat Guano Cleanup for Jenkintown, PA Homes and Businesses
Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil enriched by droppings from birds and bats. Guano cleanup is designed to keep those spores from being breathed in.
Found guano in a hard or unsafe place to reach in Jenkintown? People in Montgomery County call Jenkintown Biohazard Cleanup Help and get a cleanup team that works discreetly, explains each step and sorts what you can keep from what must be discarded.
About 98% of homes in Jenkintown were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. With roughly 45 inches of annual rainfall in Jenkintown, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic

What Jenkintown Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
Who pays for guano cleanup in a rental?
It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.
How do I get rid of the guano smell?
The odor comes from droppings and urine soaked into wood and insulation, so the fix is removing the source and treating surfaces. Air fresheners only cover it. Deep stains in wood may need extra treatment.
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.
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.
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 the smell go away after cleanup?
Often yes, once the guano and soaked materials are removed and the area is treated. Deep stains in wood or drywall may need extra treatment, and the crew can say what to expect.
