Pigeon droppings removal is the cleaning of heavy, caked droppings from structures where birds roost. It can involve scraping, washing, disinfecting and sometimes removal of nests and feathers.

Only about 26% of homes in Aventura were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in. Aventura gets about 65 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:
Family members, tenants, staff and pets stay out while the crew plans the work and gets into protective equipment.
Technicians put on respirators and suits, then lightly wet the guano to keep fine particles from rising.
Droppings are wetted, scraped and collected, and insulation that cannot be cleaned is cut out and bagged.
Remaining surfaces are disinfected, and the ammonia-like odor is treated at its source.
