An attic guano cleanup removes droppings from joists, beams and insulation, and treats the structure afterward. Insulation soaked with guano is usually discarded because it holds odor and contamination.

The Bat and Bird Droppings Removal Process in Highlands

1. Walk through the space

A cleanup technician maps the droppings, stains and damaged insulation in attics, lofts or on rooftops.

2. Wet down thick deposits

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

3. Remove and disinfect

Guano and soiled materials are taken out, and framing, floors and hard surfaces are cleaned and treated.

4. Clean the air and surfaces

HEPA filtration clears the air, surfaces are disinfected, and the owner is walked through the result.

What Highlands Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

Who pays for guano cleanup in a rental?

It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.

What is histoplasmosis?

Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil and droppings from birds and bats. People are exposed by breathing in spores. Many exposed people have no symptoms, and anyone who feels unwell after being around guano should tell a doctor.

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.

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.

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.

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.
