Cleanup
You've finally gotten rid of your pest birds - great! But now comes the cleanup…
That can be dangerous without the right equipment. Birds spread disease through their droppings including histoplasmosis and cryptococcosis, both of which can affect humans. According to a report on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website, "Even when old and dry, bird droppings can be a significant source of infection."
Contact Your Local Health Unit Before You Clean
Your local health authorities understand the types of birds you are dealing with in your area, and will be able to give you specific details about proper handling and disposing of bird droppings.
In general though, follow these simple steps during your cleanup:
- Use a complete range of PPE which includes gloves, a dust mask (toxic dusk respirator mask highly recommended), protective clothing, and safety goggles. Since many infections associated with bird droppings travel as spores which can easily be transferred to clothing, it is highly recommended you use PPE and use water to wet droppings before sweeping and bagging.
- Thoroughly clean the droppings and surrounding area using diluted Steriliz-It. This will help kill infections before transfer and help keep the dust down, reducing the risk to you and others.
- Transport droppings and items covered in droppings in secure plastic bags. Avoid rips and tears in the bag to ensure no droppings or spores can escape during transport.
- Please note your community/county may have specific rules about disposing of bird droppings. Contact your local health unit to find out the regulations in your area.
- Once all feces are removed, scrub the area once again using Steriliz-It. This will help kill any remaining infections, and will also help keep birds away.
