Bat guano removal is the careful collection of bat droppings, usually from attics and wall voids, using wet methods and containment. It protects people from dust that can carry fungal spores.

Wynnefield Heights gets about 51 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood. Many homes in Philadelphia, about 83%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell.

Crews check roost sites, rafters, ledges and insulation, since droppings build up where animals return again and again.

2. Contain and suit up

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

3. Remove what cannot be cleaned

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

Remaining surfaces are disinfected, and the ammonia-like odor is treated at its source.

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Wynnefield Heights, Philadelphia, PA

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

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.

Who pays for guano cleanup in a rental?

It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.

Can guano get into ductwork or vents?

Yes, if birds or bats roost near vents or intakes, droppings and dust can enter air paths. Cleanup may include treating vent openings and nearby surfaces.

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.

Does guano cleanup stop bats or birds from coming back?

No. Cleanup removes the mess but does not block entry points. A wildlife professional can seal gaps and use deterrents. Removing droppings and odor does help, since scent can draw animals back.
