What bird & bat guano cleanup covers:
A cleanup technician maps the droppings, stains and damaged insulation in attics, lofts or on rooftops.
Heavy or caked droppings are softened with a light mist so they can be lifted without raising dust.
Guano and soiled materials are taken out, and framing, floors and hard surfaces are cleaned and treated.
The space is disinfected, deodorized and inspected, and the crew explains what repairs or insulation work may follow.

Common signs are dark droppings that crumble, stains on walls near gaps, a strong ammonia smell and squeaking or scratching at dusk and dawn. Droppings often collect in piles below entry points. A wildlife professional can confirm it.
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.
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.
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.
Sometimes, but not always. Many homeowners policies exclude damage from animals that builds up over time, and wording differs. Call your insurer before work starts, take photos and keep receipts.
It depends on the size of the area, the depth of the deposit, how much insulation must come out and how hard the space is to reach. A small ledge costs less than a full attic. The team sets the price after seeing the space.
Do not sweep or blow. A cleanup team can plan the safe way to remove them.
