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.
Need droppings removed without spreading dust in Shreveport or across Caddo Parish? You get cleanup technicians who use HEPA-filtered equipment and keep your family members, tenants and staff away from the work area. Call Shreveport Biohazard Cleanup Help.
Many homes in Shreveport, about 65%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. Shreveport gets about 51 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
- Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
- Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Shreveport, LA
How do I know if I have bats in my attic?
Common signs are dark droppings that crumble, stains on walls near gaps, a strong ammonia smell and squeaking or scratching at dusk and dawn. Droppings often collect in piles below entry points. A wildlife professional can confirm it.
How do you clean pigeon droppings safely?
Wet the droppings lightly, scrape them into a bag, then wash and disinfect the surface. Wear gloves, eye protection and a mask. Large roost areas, rooftops and enclosed spaces are best 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.
Why shouldn't guano be swept or blown?
Dry droppings turn to fine dust that floats in the air and can carry fungal spores. Sweeping or blowing sends that dust into the air where you breathe it. Wetting first keeps particles on the surface.
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.
How do I get rid of the guano smell?
The odor comes from droppings and urine soaked into wood and insulation, so the fix is removing the source and treating surfaces. Air fresheners only cover it. Deep stains in wood may need extra treatment.
