Is bat guano flammable?

Yes. Bat guano is not only flammable but explosive due to its high nitrogen content.

Aside from high levels of nitrogen, it also contains high phosphorus content making it a powerful plant fertilizer.

More recently, scientists have discovered that a number of enzymes found in bat guano work well as cleaning agents in laundry detergent and other products.

Although bats may not necessarily cause trouble, and are in fact a great source for removing insects from the house, their droppings may cause health-related problems – the primary one being histoplasmosis, which manifests in the form of flu-like symptoms.
