Last week's #WhatIsItWednesday was bat guano beneath a bat house.Illinois bats eat a lot of insects and produce a lot of guano. Guano can be used as fertilizer and the microbes in it can help in bioremediation, breaking down soil toxins and aerating the soil.Bat guano, which contains high levels of potassium nitrate, was used to form gunpowder when other sources were sparse.As beneficial as it can be in the soil, it is not something you want deposited in your home. Fungus growing on guano (and other animal scat) can lead to histoplasomosis.
