Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in River Edge, NJ

Bird droppings cleanup covers pigeon, starling and sparrow droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies, rafters and rooftops. Dry droppings can turn to fine dust, so they are wetted before they are scraped and bagged.

When bats or birds leave droppings on your property in River Edge, you get a crew that wets down and contains the material before removal. The team bags it, disinfects the area and checks the finished work. For Bergen County jobs, call River Edge Biohazard Cleanup Help.

About 82% of homes in River Edge were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. Most housing in Bergen County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 4%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years.

The work often covers:

  • Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
  • Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
  • Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
  • Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
  • Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers

How Guano Cleanup Works in River Edge, NJ

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. Contain and suit up

Plastic barriers seal the work zone, and technicians put on respirators and disposable suits.

Guano and soiled materials are taken out, and framing, floors and hard surfaces are cleaned and treated.

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in River Edge, NJ

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 guano get into ductwork or vents?

Yes, if birds or bats roost near vents or intakes, droppings and dust can enter air paths. Cleanup may include treating vent openings and nearby surfaces.

What should I do first if I find guano?

Do not sweep, blow or vacuum it. Keep people and pets away and leave it undisturbed until you know the size of the job. Call River Edge Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

Can I clean a small amount of guano myself?

Sometimes. For a small spot, wear gloves, eye protection and a mask, wet the droppings lightly and wipe them up. Do not sweep or blow them dry. Thick, old or large deposits and attics are better left to a team.

Should I remove the bats first or clean the guano first?

The animals come out first. Wildlife professionals handle exclusion, and rules about bats can vary by species, season and place. Cleanup follows once the space is no longer in use by animals.

Can you get sick from bat droppings?

Yes, mainly from breathing in dust from dry droppings. Risk is higher with old, heavy buildup in enclosed spaces. People with asthma, lung conditions or weak immune systems need extra care and should stay out of the area.
