Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in St. George, SC
A guano removal service deals with the health risk that bats and birds leave behind, not the animals. Wildlife professionals deal with the animals, and cleanup teams deal with the droppings, stains and odor.
If you are a homeowner, landlord or property manager in St. George, SC, you can get bat and bird guano removal. Crews work at any hour in attics, lofts, rooftops, chimneys, balconies and warehouses across Dorchester County. To start, call St. George Biohazard Cleanup Help.
Most housing in Dorchester County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 7%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. With roughly 50 inches of annual rainfall in St. George, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove.

- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
- Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris

What St. George Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
Who removes bat guano from an attic?
A guano removal service or cleanup team usually does this work. It involves containment, protective gear, careful removal and disinfecting. Wildlife professionals handle the animals themselves.
How do you clean pigeon droppings safely?
Wet the droppings lightly, scrape them into a bag, then wash and disinfect the surface. Wear gloves, eye protection and a mask. Large roost areas, rooftops and enclosed spaces are best left to a team.
Can you get sick from bat droppings?
Yes, mainly from breathing in dust from dry droppings. Risk is higher with old, heavy buildup in enclosed spaces. People with asthma, lung conditions or weak immune systems need extra care and should stay out of the area.
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 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.
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 St. George Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
