CASE STUDY: Pigeon Guano Removal in a Chapel Tower

Posted on 19th November 2024 at 10:36

Gooch Group Ltd were recently asked to carry out a pigeon guano removal service in a chapel tower in Gloucestershire.

Wearing full personal protective equipment, our cleaning team entered the chapel tower through the hatch to find the pigeon poo they needed to remove.

Pigeon guano removal is a very dangerous job, as the pigeon poo contains nasty diseases which should not be breathed in. This is why our team was fully kitted out in full respiratory PPE.

Our cleaning specialists successfully carried out the pigeon guano removal service, bagging everything up and disposing of it safely. They then deep cleaned and heavily sanitised the area, leaving it free of pigeon poo, making it safe to enter.

The Dangers of Pigeon Guano

Dust created by moving pigeon guano is a very dangerous thing to breathe in as it’s full of nasty diseases including Cryptococcosis, Histoplasmosis, Psittacosis and Salmonella which can make you very unwell.

A few symptoms you may experience include confusion, seizures, fits, difficulty speaking, loss of movement in parts of your body and even loss of consciousness.

This is why it’s highly recommended that you call a professional company to carry out your pigeon guano removal.
