Histoplasmosis is a disease caused by a fungus, which grows in pigeon droppings. It also grows in soils and is found throughout the world. When cleaning droppings a person may breathe in some of the fungus, which in cases of high exposure can cause infection.

Symptoms of histoplasmosis begin to appear about 10 days after initial infection and include fatigue, fever, and chest pains. Most people, however, do not show any symptoms. Those with compromised immune systems such as cancer patients or people living with HIV/AIDS are generally more at risk of developing histoplasmosis. The disease cannot be transmitted from person to person.

We offer a no-nonsense approach to removing and cleaning up guano, it is a job that needs to be carried out by a professional guano remediation technician, guano is unsightly, unsanitary and poses a health and safety risk, and it doesn’t stop there as it is often infested with blood-feeding insects and its acidic matter causes damage to the fabric of buildings which, in turn, leads to higher cleaning and repair bills.

Bulk pigeon guano is potentially dangerous to both our technicians and public health in general, all removal work must be undertaken with care. Atkins H.S.R. Ltd specialist guano-removal technicians are trained to a very high standard.

After safely removing and treating the bulk guano, we will remove it from the site in secure sacks, and we will then decontaminate the area to prevent returning organisms.
