  • Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
  • HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
  • Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
  • Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in West Portland Park

What should I do first if I find guano?

Do not sweep, blow or vacuum it. Keep people and pets away and leave it undisturbed until you know the size of the job. Call West Portland Park Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

Who removes bat guano from an attic?

A guano removal service or cleanup team usually does this work. It involves containment, protective gear, careful removal and disinfecting. Wildlife professionals handle the animals themselves.

Will insurance pay for guano cleanup?

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.

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.

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.

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.
