As experts in the domain of bird poop cleaning, we understand the concerns and risks associated with indoor bird poop. Many people may not be aware of the potential dangers that come with bird droppings, so we’re here to provide you with important information to keep you and your loved ones safe.
Bird droppings contain uric acid, which can cause significant damage if left untreated. The uric acid can stain fabrics and eat through paints, especially on vehicles. In fact, it has been well-documented that bird droppings can cause thousands of dollars in damage to structures. For example, pigeons caused $48,000 USD of damage to a historic church in Solon, Maine, and over $20,000 USD of damage to a historic gothic cathedral in Slovakia.
Birds are carriers of over 60 diseases and parasites, some of which can cause severe illness in humans. Additionally, bird droppings contain various organisms and insects that can be problematic for those who come in direct contact with them. People with lung or other health conditions should avoid dried bird droppings as much as possible. When large quantities of dried bird poop are disrupted, the particles become airborne and can cause irritation in the bronchial passage. Furthermore, fungal diseases such as Histoplasmosis or Cryptococcosis can be transmitted through fungal spores within the poop. These diseases can contaminate soil and even infect others nearby if a large quantity of bird poop is disturbed by excavation, construction, or demolition.
Proper cleanup of bird poop is essential to protect both individuals in the area and to increase the effectiveness of any bird deterrent measures in use. Removing the droppings creates a clean slate and helps deter birds from returning to familiar places. When dealing with small amounts of poop, like one or two spots on your car, thoroughly wash your hands and any other areas that come in direct contact with the droppings. Wearing plastic gloves is also a good idea. For larger quantities of bird poop, it is crucial to have the proper protective attire, including a protective mask, plastic gloves, and protective eyewear. Covering or sealing heating/cooling vents is recommended to prevent the spread of dried dust particles.
For severe cases, it is best to call in trained, fully-equipped decontamination professionals to avoid any risks. These professionals will ensure safety by wearing full protective clothing and respirator masks. It is important to never send children, untrained individuals, or those in poor health to clean up affected areas.
Using a cleaner specifically labeled for bird droppings is recommended for best results. These cleaners contain probiotic microbes that are highly effective at removing the build-up of urine and fecal material. Adding water to dried deposits can help loosen them. Additionally, having bird deterrent materials on hand after cleaning is crucial to prevent further issues. Hiring a bird control professional can provide an accurate assessment of the area and recommend proper deterrents for moderate and severe cases.
If you choose not to recycle bird droppings for fertilizer, it is important to double bag the droppings, secure them, and dispose of them in a trash disposal bin to be taken to the landfill. This helps prevent airborne contamination.
Bird excrement is a mixture of all the bird’s waste products, both digestive and urinary. Birds poop whenever they take flight to avoid carrying waste material with them. Parent birds will fly off the nest carrying gel-coated sacs of droppings from their offspring to conceal their whereabouts and deposit them far from the nest. They are especially attracted to bodies of water during these missions since water hides droppings better than land.
