Bat droppings cleanup includes more than the visible pile. Urine, staining and odor can soak into wood, drywall and insulation, which is why surrounding materials are checked and often removed.

Alhambra is on the drier side, with about 16 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal. About 72% of homes in Alhambra were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter.

Bird & Bat Guano Cleanup in Alhambra usually includes:

  • Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
  • Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
  • Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
  • Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
  • Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings

What Alhambra Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

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.

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.

Why shouldn't guano be swept or blown?

Dry droppings turn to fine dust that floats in the air and can carry fungal spores. Sweeping or blowing sends that dust into the air where you breathe it. Wetting first keeps particles on the surface.

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.

Can I clean a small amount of guano myself?

Sometimes. For a small spot, wear gloves, eye protection and a mask, wet the droppings lightly and wipe them up. Do not sweep or blow them dry. Thick, old or large deposits and attics are better left to a team.

How do I get rid of the guano smell?

The odor comes from droppings and urine soaked into wood and insulation, so the fix is removing the source and treating surfaces. Air fresheners only cover it. Deep stains in wood may need extra treatment.
