Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil enriched by droppings from birds and bats. Guano cleanup is designed to keep those spores from being breathed in.

About 16% of housing in Edgecombe County is vacant, and empty buildings, barns and lofts give bats and birds quiet places to roost undisturbed. About 62% of homes in Tarboro were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter.

The work often covers:

Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional

What Happens During an Attic Guano Cleanup in Tarboro

1. Call and describe

The team asks where droppings were found, how thick they are and whether bats or birds are still using the space.

2. Suppress the dust

Technicians put on respirators and suits, then lightly wet the guano to keep fine particles from rising.

3. Remove and bag

Guano, soiled insulation and nesting debris are removed by hand or with HEPA-filtered tools and sealed in heavy bags.

4. Disinfect and inspect

Wood, drywall and hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, odor is treated, and the crew checks the finished space.

What Tarboro Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

Do I need to replace attic insulation after guano?

Usually, if droppings or urine have soaked into it. Soiled insulation holds contamination and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. After removal, new insulation is installed as a separate job.

How do I get rid of the guano smell?

The odor comes from droppings and urine soaked into wood and insulation, so the fix is removing the source and treating surfaces. Air fresheners only cover it. Deep stains in wood may need extra treatment.

What is histoplasmosis?

Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil and droppings from birds and bats. People are exposed by breathing in spores. Many exposed people have no symptoms, and anyone who feels unwell after being around guano should tell a doctor.

Can pigeon droppings damage a roof or building?

Yes. Droppings are acidic and can stain and wear down paint, metal and roofing over time. They also clog gutters and drains and create slip hazards on walkways. Cleanup and deterrents work best together.

Will the smell go away after cleanup?

Often yes, once the guano and soaked materials are removed and the area is treated. Deep stains in wood or drywall may need extra treatment, and the crew can say what to expect.

What if droppings are on a roof or high ledge?

Roof and high ledge work needs fall protection and care around other people. Crews can remove and wash droppings there, and a property manager or owner can set up access.
