How do you clean a large amount of bird poop?

Preparation

Before cleaning a large amount of bird poop, it is important to prepare yourself and gather the necessary cleaning equipment. Here’s what you’ll need:

  1. Protective Clothing: Wear old clothes, preferably long-sleeved tops and long trousers, to protect your skin from any contact with the bird droppings. Waterproof shoes and gloves are also recommended.

  2. Safety Gear: Consider using goggles and a dust mask, especially if the infestation is heavy, to protect your eyes and respiratory system from any airborne particles.

  3. Cleaning Equipment: Gather buckets, brushes, scrapers, bin bags, and plenty of water for cleaning. If there are large amounts of dried droppings, a hosepipe will be invaluable. A shovel may also be necessary for removing larger debris.

  4. Disinfectant Spray: Use a disinfectant spray to finish off the cleaning process. We recommend Germ Clear™ Bird Droppings Disinfectant Spray as it not only cleans the area but also kills off any bacteria that may be present in the droppings.

Cleaning Process

Follow these steps to effectively clean a large amount of bird poop:

  1. Spray Disinfectant: Start by spraying the disinfectant on the areas that need to be cleaned. This will help loosen and soften the debris, as well as dampen down any dust that may fly around during the cleaning process. Allow the disinfectant to soak in for a minute or two.

  2. Remove Larger Droppings: Use a scraper or a stiff brush to scrape the larger areas of droppings into a bin bag. This may need to be repeated several times to ensure thorough cleaning.

  3. Further Clean the Area: Respray the disinfectant and use a scraper or stiff brush to further clean the area. Make sure to remove any remaining droppings and debris.

  4. Sponge Down: Respray the disinfectant once again and use a sponge to wipe down and clean the area. This will ensure that all traces of bird droppings are removed.

  5. Hose Down (for larger areas): If you are dealing with a larger area, it may be necessary to use a hosepipe to thoroughly soak all the droppings. This will make them easier to remove.

  6. Ensure Safety: During the cleaning process, it is important to avoid breathing in the dried dust. For small quantities of droppings, make sure they are wet before removing them.

  7. Allow for Drying: After cleaning, allow the surface to dry fully for 24 to 48 hours before proceeding with any further installations, such as bird spikes with silicone.

Legal Waste Disposal

It is essential to dispose of bird droppings properly. Here are some guidelines:

  1. Bagging: Bag all the bird droppings before disposing of them. Small amounts can be placed in a domestic wheelie bin, while larger amounts may require alternative methods.

  2. Skip Companies: If you have a significant amount of waste, contact an “Authorised Waste Carrier” skip company to arrange proper disposal. Legitimate skip companies are authorized to handle such waste.

Recommendation

Pigeon guano can be a valuable fertilizer for your garden. If you have a suitable outdoor space, consider spreading the pigeon guano in your garden. It was historically so highly valued that guards were posted outside pigeon lofts to prevent theft of pigeon poop.
