Guano

Bird droppings are unsanitary and a health and safety risk. The inhalation of bacteria and fungus in bird faeces can cause diseases including Cryptococcosis, Histoplasmosis and Psittacosis. Contaminants and unpleasant odours can quickly spread throughout buildings via ventilation systems, which are also at risk of damage if ducts become blocked. Bird droppings not only look unsightly, in substantial quantities they can also cause corrosion of surfaces as bird faeces are very acidic. If not removed correctly, this can also result in permanent damage to the structure of buildings or equipment. Pavements and stairs can become slippery making them unsafe.
