About 16% of housing in Washington County is vacant, and empty buildings, barns and lofts give bats and birds quiet places to roost undisturbed. Summers in Fort Edward are milder, with July highs around 82 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time.

Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Fort Edward, NY

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 I clean a small amount of guano myself?

Sometimes. For a small spot, wear gloves, eye protection and a mask, wet the droppings lightly and wipe them up. Do not sweep or blow them dry. Thick, old or large deposits and attics are better 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 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 Fort Edward Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

Do barns and old buildings need special handling?

Buildings with years of buildup can hold thick, dry, dusty guano that is easy to disturb. Crews ventilate, wet down and use respirators and containment to keep spores out of the air.

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.
