1. Walk through the space

A cleanup technician maps the droppings, stains and damaged insulation in attics, lofts or on rooftops.

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.

4. Clean the air and surfaces

HEPA filtration clears the air, surfaces are disinfected, and the owner is walked through the result.

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Gilroy

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

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.

Is bird poop a biohazard?

Large amounts of bird droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can hold germs and fungal spores. A small spot outdoors is a simple wash. Thick buildup in a closed space needs protective gear and wet methods.

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.

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.

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.
