Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal

How Crews Contain and Remove Guano in Dundee, NY

Family members, tenants, staff and pets stay out while the crew plans the work and gets into protective equipment.

3. Wet, scrape and clear

Droppings are wetted, scraped and collected, and insulation that cannot be cleaned is cut out and bagged.

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

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Dundee

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.

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.

Is bird poop a biohazard?

Large amounts of bird droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can hold germs and fungal spores. A small spot outdoors is a simple wash. Thick buildup in a closed space needs protective gear and wet methods.

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.
