Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in Savage, MD

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.

With roughly 48 inches of annual rainfall in Savage, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove. Only about 29% of homes in Howard County were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in.

What bird & bat guano cleanup covers:

Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris

The Bat and Bird Droppings Removal Process in Savage

1. Keep everyone away

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

2. Suppress the dust

Technicians put on respirators and suits, then lightly wet the guano to keep fine particles from rising.

3. Take out contaminated material

Guano, matted insulation and nesting debris are packed out, and salvageable items are set aside for cleaning.

4. Sanitize and deodorize

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

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Savage, MD

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.

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 Savage Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

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.

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.

Can guano get into ductwork or vents?

Yes, if birds or bats roost near vents or intakes, droppings and dust can enter air paths. Cleanup may include treating vent openings and nearby surfaces.

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.
