How do you get rid of dry bird poop?

Preparation is key

Before attempting to clean dry bird poop, it is important to properly prepare yourself and gather the necessary cleaning equipment. To protect yourself from any potential health hazards, it is recommended to wear old clothes, preferably long-sleeved tops and long trousers, along with waterproof shoes and gloves. Additionally, investing in a pair of goggles and a dust mask can provide extra protection, especially in cases of heavy infestations.

As for the cleaning equipment, you will need buckets, brushes, scrapers, bin bags, plenty of water, and potentially a shovel. If you are dealing with a substantial amount of dried droppings, a hosepipe will be invaluable in effectively removing them.

Using a disinfectant spray

To ensure a thorough cleaning process and eliminate any lingering bacteria, it is highly recommended to use a disinfectant spray specifically designed for bird droppings. We suggest using Germ Clear™ Bird Droppings Disinfectant Spray, as it not only cleans the area but also kills off any bacteria that may be present.

Dry bird droppings can potentially become airborne and cause respiratory problems if they have been present for a while and have started growing fungi and bacteria. By using a disinfectant spray, you can effectively loosen and soften the debris while dampening down any dust that may fly around during the cleaning process.

Step-by-step cleaning process

  1. Begin by spraying the disinfectant on the areas that need to be cleaned. Allow it to soak in for a minute or two before proceeding.
  2. Use a scraper or stiff brush to remove the larger areas of dried droppings and place them into a bin bag. This step may need to be repeated several times to ensure thorough cleaning.
  3. Respray the area and use a stiff brush or scraper to further clean the surface.
  4. Finish by respraying and using a sponge or scrubbing brush to wipe down and fully clean the area.

For larger areas with extensive dried droppings, it may be necessary to use a hosepipe to ensure all the droppings are thoroughly soaked before removing them. However, it is important to be cautious and avoid breathing in the dried dust during this process.

Proper waste disposal

After cleaning, it is crucial to properly dispose of the bird droppings. Bag them securely before placing them in a domestic wheelie bin or taking them to a council-run tip facility if the quantity is small. For larger amounts, it is advisable to contact an “Authorised Waste Carrier” skip company for legal disposal.

Recommendation: Utilize pigeon guano as fertilizer

If you have a garden, consider using pigeon guano as a natural and effective fertilizer. Pigeon guano has been valued for centuries due to its high nutrient content, and it was once even guarded to prevent theft. Simply spread the guano on your garden to provide nourishment for your plants.
