Why professional pigeon guano cleaning is crucial

Pigeon guano is more than just unsightly – it poses serious health and structural risks. If left untreated, pigeon droppings can damage buildings, and the bacteria and fungi found in guano can lead to severe health conditions. Mid Essex Group provides comprehensive cleaning and removal services, ensuring your property is restored to a safe condition.

We understand the risks associated with pigeon guano, including the spread of diseases and building damage. That’s why our experts take every step to protect your health and property.

The health risks of pigeon guano

Pigeon droppings carry pathogens that can cause serious illnesses. Inhaling dried guano dust may result in respiratory diseases like histoplasmosis, while bacteria can spread infections such as salmonella and psittacosis. Regular and thorough cleaning is essential to prevent these hazards from affecting your family or employees.

The structural damage pigeon guano can cause

In addition to health risks, pigeon guano is highly acidic and can corrode building materials. The weight of accumulated droppings can also weaken structures over time, causing costly repairs. Preventative measures, like bird netting, can save you money and protect your property.

We use durable, UV-resistant netting that provides a long-lasting solution, tailored to your building’s needs.

Risks of pigeon guano

Health Hazards

Pigeon guano can carry dangerous pathogens like histoplasmosis, psittacosis, and salmonella, which can pose serious health risks to humans and pets, especially when particles become airborne.

Structual Damage

Highly acidic guano can corrode essential building materials, including stone, metal, and wood, leading to costly repairs if left untreated.

Respiratory Issues

Dried guano can release harmful particles into the air, potentially causing respiratory illnesses when inhaled, especially in large accumulations.

Attraction of Pests

Untreated guano can attract unwanted pests, such as insects and rodents, further compounding health and property risks.

Dangers of DIY pigeon guano cleaning and netting

Attempting to clean pigeon guano without the proper equipment and protective measures can be hazardous. Without professional-grade disinfectants and disposal methods, there’s a risk of spreading harmful pathogens or causing further damage to your property by not installing the netting correctly.

It’s essential to leave pigeon guano removal to specialists like Mid Essex Group, who have the necessary expertise and equipment.
