Only about 58% of homes in West Sand Lake were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in. West Sand Lake gets about 42 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood.

The work often covers:

  • Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
  • Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
  • Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
  • Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
  • Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters

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

Soiled insulation, stained cardboard and nesting debris go into sealed bags, and hard surfaces are scrubbed.

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in West Sand Lake, NY

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
