About 60% of homes in Annapolis were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. A July high of 89 degrees in Annapolis affects how fast guano dries and how strong the ammonia smell gets in a closed attic.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
- Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
- Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved

What Annapolis Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
Why shouldn't guano be swept or blown?
Dry droppings turn to fine dust that floats in the air and can carry fungal spores. Sweeping or blowing sends that dust into the air where you breathe it. Wetting first keeps particles on the surface.
Does guano cleanup stop bats or birds from coming back?
No. Cleanup removes the mess but does not block entry points. A wildlife professional can seal gaps and use deterrents. Removing droppings and odor does help, since scent can draw animals back.
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.
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.
Does guano damage insulation?
Yes. Insulation soaks up droppings, urine and odor and rarely comes back clean, so soiled insulation is usually removed and replaced. A team can tell you how far the damage goes after seeing the attic.
Is it safe to stay home during guano cleanup?
For work in a sealed attic, many people stay in the home while crews work with containment. For heavy contamination or open spaces, it may be better to stay away. The team will say what is best for your situation.
