Heavy or caked droppings are softened with a light mist so they can be lifted without raising dust.

3. Remove and bag

Guano, soiled insulation and nesting debris are removed by hand or with HEPA-filtered tools and sealed in heavy bags.

4. Final walkthrough

Odor and air are checked, and the owner is shown what was done and what remains for other trades.

What Oronoco Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

What if droppings are on a roof or high ledge?

Roof and high ledge work needs fall protection and care around other people. Crews can remove and wash droppings there, and a property manager or owner can set up access.

Should I remove the bats first or clean the guano first?

The animals come out first. Wildlife professionals handle exclusion, and rules about bats can vary by species, season and place. Cleanup follows once the space is no longer in use by animals.

How do I know if I have bats in my attic?

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.

Is it safe to stay home during guano cleanup?

For work in a sealed attic, many people stay in the home while crews work with containment. For heavy contamination or open spaces, it may be better to stay away. The team will say what is best for your situation.

Can you get sick from bat droppings?

Yes, mainly from breathing in dust from dry droppings. Risk is higher with old, heavy buildup in enclosed spaces. People with asthma, lung conditions or weak immune systems need extra care and should stay out of the area.

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.
