About 16% of housing in Stanley County is vacant, and empty buildings, barns and lofts give bats and birds quiet places to roost undisturbed. Fort Pierre is on the drier side, with about 20 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
- Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
- Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products

What Fort Pierre Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
What rules apply to guano cleanup in South Dakota?
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.
Does guano damage insulation?
Yes. Insulation soaks up droppings, urine and odor and rarely comes back clean, so soiled insulation is usually removed and replaced. A team can tell you how far the damage goes after seeing the attic.
What is histoplasmosis?
Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil and droppings from birds and bats. People are exposed by breathing in spores. Many exposed people have no symptoms, and anyone who feels unwell after being around guano should tell a doctor.
How do you clean pigeon droppings safely?
Wet the droppings lightly, scrape them into a bag, then wash and disinfect the surface. Wear gloves, eye protection and a mask. Large roost areas, rooftops and enclosed spaces are best left to a team.
Who pays for guano cleanup in a rental?
It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.
Is guano dangerous?
It can be. Dry guano releases fine dust, and some bird and bat droppings can carry a fungus linked to histoplasmosis, a lung infection. Many people never get sick, but older, heavy deposits carry more risk. Avoid stirring it up.
