Guano Cleaning

Bird fouling (guano) can affect your business in a number of ways. There is a duty of care to staff, occupants, tradesmen and visitors who may be put at risk.

Health and safety risks

Large amounts of guano should be considered a serious health hazard.

Bird fouling contains many diseases which can be passed to humans. These diseases include: Chlamydiosis, Ornithosis, Psittacosis, Cryptococosis, Campylobactor, Salmonellosis, Extrinsic Allergic Alveolitis – also known as Pigeon fancier’s lung, Erysipelas, Escherichia Coli and Histoplasmosis. All of which are a serious hazard to human health.

In addition, fouling can cause a dangerous slip hazard and particular attention should be paid to fire exits and fire escapes where this could impede a safe exit I the event of a fire.

Bird fouling can cause an infestation of biting insects.

Insects will breed in the fouling and then, when the bird infestation is removed, look for a new warm blooded host, transferring bacteria and viruses from the droppings directly into the hosts’ bloodstream. Many insect infestations are a result of nesting materials and guano.

Damage to structure

Bird fouling is acid in nature and can cause damage to the fabric of your building and staining. There is also a risk of water ingress due to fouling and nesting materials blocking gullies and hoppers.

Bird fouling is unsightly

Unsightly guano will impact on your businesses image and reputation.
