We specialize in guano cleanup and removal, using safe and effective techniques.
Guano is a term that refers to the fecal matter left behind by bats. It is also used to refer to bird droppings. Although this material does have uses in the fertilization and soil conditioning industries, its presence within a space can pose real threats to all inside. When bats take up residence in a commercial or residential structure, they leave behind droppings (or guano). The natural material often harbors fungal spores, which can cause histoplasmosis in humans. The spores become airborne after guano is left in wall cavities, attics, or other indoor spaces, resulting in people inhaling them when inside.
Histoplasmosis is a concerning illness that can cause flu-like symptoms, including fevers, cough, chest pain, and fatigue. Some people experience no symptoms, but a severe infection is more common in immunocompromised people, as well as infants and aging adults. Mild cases may be resolved easily, but more severe cases typically require antifungal treatment. If you’re dealing with a buildup of guano in your Jacksonville, Florida home or business, it’s important to get rid of it. But handling the cleanup process yourself is dangerous. You could end up inhaling the material and becoming infected.
Instead of managing it on your own, turn to our experienced team at Bat Removal Florida. We specialize in guano cleanup and removal, using safe and effective techniques. Protect yourself and those around you from the effects of histoplasmosis by bringing in our technicians to remove the contaminated materials. We can also take care of the removal of any bats that may be living in your space.
