Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil enriched by droppings from birds and bats. Guano cleanup is designed to keep those spores from being breathed in.

Summers in Irondequoit are milder, with July highs around 82 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time. Many homes in Irondequoit, about 86%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell.

A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:

Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings

How Guano Cleanup Works in Irondequoit, NY

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 bag

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

4. Disinfect and inspect

Wood, drywall and hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, odor is treated, and the crew checks the finished space.

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Irondequoit, NY

What rules apply to guano cleanup in New York?

Worker safety follows OSHA rules for hazardous dust, and waste disposal is handled according to local requirements. Rules about moving or excluding bats and other wildlife can vary by species and season, so check with a wildlife professional first.

Can pigeon droppings damage a roof or building?

Yes. Droppings are acidic and can stain and wear down paint, metal and roofing over time. They also clog gutters and drains and create slip hazards on walkways. Cleanup and deterrents work best together.

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.

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.

Will the smell go away after cleanup?

Often yes, once the guano and soaked materials are removed and the area is treated. Deep stains in wood or drywall may need extra treatment, and the crew can say what to expect.

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.
