Crews check roost sites, rafters, ledges and insulation, since droppings build up where animals return again and again.
Heavy or caked droppings are softened with a light mist so they can be lifted without raising dust.
Guano, matted insulation and nesting debris are packed out, and salvageable items are set aside for cleaning.
Remaining surfaces are disinfected, and the ammonia-like odor is treated at its source.

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.
Wet the droppings lightly, scrape them into a bag, then wash and disinfect the surface. Wear gloves, eye protection and a mask. Large roost areas, rooftops and enclosed spaces are best left to a team.
Large amounts of bird droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can hold germs and fungal spores. A small spot outdoors is a simple wash. Thick buildup in a closed space needs protective gear and wet methods.
Do not sweep or blow. A cleanup team can plan the safe way to remove them.
