Bird Guano Control FAQs

We address top questions to help users make informed decisions.

Bird guano is highly acidic, which can cause severe corrosion to building materials such as stone, metal, concrete, and paint. Over time, this leads to costly structural damage and the need for repairs. Additionally, bird droppings can carry harmful pathogens including fungi and bacteria (like Histoplasma and Chlamydia psittaci), which pose respiratory health risks to humans, particularly in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas.

Accumulated droppings create slippery surfaces on walkways, staircases, and outdoor seating areas, increasing the risk of slips and falls. In workplaces, this can lead to health and safety violations and potential liability claims. Regular removal and treatment of affected surfaces are crucial to maintaining safe environments for employees, residents, and visitors.

Professional removal involves high-pressure washing combined with eco-friendly disinfectants to fully sanitize surfaces. Protective gear is essential to prevent exposure to airborne pathogens during cleaning. In some cases, manual removal of nests and debris is also necessary. After cleaning, application of bird deterrents and protective coatings can help prevent re-accumulation and damage.

While guano removal itself doesn’t deter birds, combining it with proven bird control methods—such as bird proofing, spikes, netting, and visual or auditory deterrents—significantly reduces the chances of birds re-establishing roosts or nests. A comprehensive bird management plan tailored to the site’s specific bird species and pressure is key to long-term success.

The frequency depends on the severity of the bird infestation and location. High-activity sites, such as coastal areas or urban centres with large pigeon populations, may require monthly or quarterly cleaning. Less affected properties might only need bi-annual or annual treatments. Regular inspections help determine the optimal maintenance schedule.

Yes. Responsible pest control companies use biodegradable cleaning agents and adhere to environmental regulations to minimise impact. Proper disposal of contaminated materials prevents soil and water pollution, while humane bird deterrents support biodiversity and welfare.

Absolutely. Our team works with commercial premises, residential buildings, heritage sites, solar panel installations, and industrial facilities. We assess each property’s unique risks and tailor cleaning and prevention strategies accordingly, ensuring maximum protection without compromising aesthetics or functionality.

Bird guano removal and bird control activities must comply with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and the Animal Welfare Act 2006, which protect many bird species and regulate humane control methods. Additionally, health and safety laws require employers and property owners to maintain safe environments, including controlling bird-related hazards. Our services fully comply with these legal requirements, providing peace of mind.
