Bat Guano Removal in Berkeley, MO Attics and Barns

Bat and bird guano remediation is the full job of removal, disinfecting and deodorizing after animals have been excluded. It often precedes insulation replacement, repairs and sealing of entry points by other trades.

About 91% of homes in Berkeley were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. With roughly 42 inches of annual rainfall in Berkeley, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove.

The work often covers:

  • Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
  • Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
  • Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
  • Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
  • Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products

Plastic barriers seal the work zone, and technicians put on respirators and disposable suits.

3. Take out contaminated material

Guano, matted insulation and nesting debris are packed out, and salvageable items are set aside for cleaning.

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Berkeley, MO

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 Berkeley Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

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 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.

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.

Do I need to replace attic insulation after guano?

Usually, if droppings or urine have soaked into it. Soiled insulation holds contamination and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. After removal, new insulation is installed as a separate job.

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.
