Many homes in Highlands, about 51%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. With roughly 65 inches of annual rainfall in Highlands, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove.
The work often covers:
- Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
- 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
- Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
- Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Highlands
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 removes bat guano from an attic?
A guano removal service or cleanup team usually does this work. It involves containment, protective gear, careful removal and disinfecting. Wildlife professionals handle the animals themselves.
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.
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 rules apply to guano cleanup in Texas?
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 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.
