Summers in Orrville are milder, with July highs around 82 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time. Older and newer buildings in Orrville both attract roosting animals, and attic guano is handled the same way: wet down, remove, bag and disinfect.
The work often covers:
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
- Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
- Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers

2. Collect the droppings
Guano is collected without sweeping or blowing, and bagged on site so it never crosses clean rooms.
3. Remove what cannot be cleaned
Soiled insulation, stained cardboard and nesting debris go into sealed bags, and hard surfaces are scrubbed.
4. Sanitize and deodorize
Remaining surfaces are disinfected, and the ammonia-like odor is treated at its source.

What Orrville Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
Is guano dangerous?
It can be. Dry guano releases fine dust, and some bird and bat droppings can carry a fungus linked to histoplasmosis, a lung infection. Many people never get sick, but older, heavy deposits carry more risk. Avoid stirring it up.
Do barns and old buildings need special handling?
Buildings with years of buildup can hold thick, dry, dusty guano that is easy to disturb. Crews ventilate, wet down and use respirators and containment to keep spores out of the air.
What rules apply to guano cleanup in Ohio?
Worker safety follows OSHA rules for hazardous dust, and waste disposal is handled according to local requirements. Rules about moving or excluding bats and other wildlife can vary by species and season, so check with a wildlife professional first.
Is bird poop a biohazard?
Large amounts of bird droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can hold germs and fungal spores. A small spot outdoors is a simple wash. Thick buildup in a closed space needs protective gear and wet methods.
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.
Who pays for guano cleanup in a rental?
It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.
