Common Questions About Guano Removal in Colfax, CA

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.

Do barns and old buildings need special handling?

Buildings with years of buildup can hold thick, dry, dusty guano that is easy to disturb. Crews ventilate, wet down and use respirators and containment to keep spores out of the air.

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 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.

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.
