Bird Poops Dangerous? Yes!
Pigeon and bird droppings are more than a mess. They can be a real health hazard!
When bird droppings, nesting materials, feathers, and debris accumulate (especially around HVAC units), disturbing this material can release contaminated dust into the air.
Diseases associated with pigeon droppings include Histoplasmosis, Cryptococcosis, and Psittacosis. These infections can happen when people breathe in dust created while cleaning droppings. The risk is considered rare, but it can be serious, especially for people with compromised immune systems.
That is why proper cleanup matters.
At Steri-Clean, we do not just remove the visible waste. We safely address nesting debris, droppings contamination, and affected areas using proper PPE and remediation protocols to help protect your property and the people inside it.
If you have pigeon contamination around rooftop HVAC units, attics, balconies, or commercial buildings, call the professionals.
