Is Bat Guano (Bat Droppings) Dangerous?

Ask nearly anyone, and you'll hear that bats (although beneficial in insect control) can be dangerous because they carry rabies. But a lesser known danger, and one that is not as easy to avoid, is histoplasmosis.
What is histoplasmosis?

It is an infectious disease caught by inhaling the spores of the histoplasmosis capsulation fungus. While it is not contagious, the disease can affect a wide variety of the population who may not even be aware they are at risk.

Should I be concerned about getting histoplasmosis?

Anyone can get histoplasmosis. There are, however, certain people whose occupations make the risk of exposure greater than others. Included in that group are chimney cleaners, construction workers, gardeners, HVAC installers or repair people, roofers, and, of course spelunkers (cave explorers). In reality, however, anyone who comes across the fungus can get histoplasmosis.

Do it Yourself Bat Removal? 

It is not recommended that you try and remove a bat infestation by yourself.

Bat repellent, high frequency noise makers do not work on any of the species of bats found in the US or Canada. The people selling these items have been fined by the EPA for false advertising and consumer fraud.

Some pest control companies will attempt bat work. Most are underinsured for this type of work, and many of their operatives don't have rabies shots. Additionally, these 'non-specialists' are often ineffective.
