About 68% of homes in Orangeburg were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. With roughly 50 inches of annual rainfall in Orangeburg, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
- Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
- Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Orangeburg, SC
Can pigeon droppings damage a roof or building?
Yes. Droppings are acidic and can stain and wear down paint, metal and roofing over time. They also clog gutters and drains and create slip hazards on walkways. Cleanup and deterrents work best together.
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.
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 much does guano removal cost?
It depends on the size of the area, the depth of the deposit, how much insulation must come out and how hard the space is to reach. A small ledge costs less than a full attic. The team sets the price after seeing the space.
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.
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.
