Bird & batguano removal
Built-up bird and bat droppings can carry fungal spores that cause histoplasmosis. Removal takes containment, respirators and the right cleanup method.
DOSH
More thana mess
When bird or bat droppings accumulate, the material can harbor the fungus that causes histoplasmosis. Disturbing dry guano releases spores into the air, which is the main way people are exposed. Heavy accumulations are also corrosive to structures and equipment.
Alliance removes guano with the controls a hazmat site needs: containment, respiratory protection, wet methods to keep dust down, and sealed packaging for disposal.
Warehouses & barns
Rafters, beams and floors under roosting areas.
Towers & structures
Water towers, lofts, steeples and elevated structures. Alliance completed water tower remediation at Malmstrom Air Force Base.
Attics & vacant buildings
Enclosed spaces where bats or birds have roosted for years.
Safe guanoremoval
Assess
We map the accumulation and access needs, including confined spaces.
Contain
The area is isolated and crews use respiratory protection.
Wet & remove
Guano is wetted to control dust, then removed and sealed.
Clean & disinfect
Surfaces are cleaned and disinfected.
Document
You get a record of the work and disposal.
Confined space& elevated work
Crews are confined space entry certified, OSHA 40-hour HAZWOPER trained and work under a NIOSH-approved respirator program, which matters for towers, lofts and tight attic spaces where guano tends to collect.
Bird & Bat Guano RemovalFAQ
Is bird or bat guano dangerous?
Accumulated droppings can carry the fungus that causes histoplasmosis, and disturbing dry material releases spores. Large accumulations should be removed by a trained crew with respiratory protection.
Do you remove the bats or birds?
Live animal exclusion is typically handled by a wildlife specialist, and bats may be protected. We handle the contaminated cleanup once animals are excluded.
Can you work at height or in confined spaces?
Yes. Our crews are confined space entry certified and have done elevated work such as water tower remediation.
Will the structure need repairs?
Heavy guano can damage wood, metal and insulation. We document conditions so you can plan any repairs.
