Large amounts of bird droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can hold germs and fungal spores. A small spot outdoors is a simple wash. Thick buildup in a closed space needs protective gear and wet methods.
Roof and high ledge work needs fall protection and care around other people. Crews can remove and wash droppings there, and a property manager or owner can set up access.
Worker safety follows OSHA rules for hazardous dust, and waste disposal is handled according to local requirements. Rules about moving or excluding bats and other wildlife can vary by species and season, so check with a wildlife professional first.
