Bird & Bat Guano Cleanup in Upland, PA

Guano Cleanup Services for Upland Roofs, Attics and Ledges

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.

Need droppings removed without spreading dust in Upland or across Delaware County? You get cleanup technicians who use HEPA-filtered equipment and keep your family members, tenants and staff away from the work area. Call Upland Biohazard Cleanup Help.

Many homes in Upland, about 90%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. Upland 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.

A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:

  • Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
  • Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
  • Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
  • 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

Step by Step: Safe Guano Removal in Upland, PA

1. Safety first

The crew checks for weak flooring, tight access and other hazards, then sets up lighting, protective gear and containment.

2. Set up protection

Barriers and air controls go up, and the team wears protective gear before touching anything.

3. Wet, scrape and clear

Droppings are wetted, scraped and collected, and insulation that cannot be cleaned is cut out and bagged.

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

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Upland, 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 Upland Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

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.

What if droppings are on a roof or high ledge?

Roof and high ledge work needs fall protection and care around other people. Crews can remove and wash droppings there, and a property manager or owner can set up access.

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.

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.

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.
