You may think that bat droppings are just unsightly or merely smell awful. However, there are more serious hazards and that’s why you should never attempt to clean bat guano yourself. We know that the aftermath of bat infestations can be scary or overwhelming, and we’re here to help. Here’s why:

  • Health risks: Bat guano can harbor Histoplasma fungus. Disturbing droppings may release spores that cause histoplasmosis, a serious respiratory disease. It can also contain bacteria, viruses, and even over 60 transmissible diseases, posing risks to your family’s health.
  • Strong odor: Accumulated bat droppings produce a pungent ammonia-like smell that can permeate the home. This foul odor won’t go away until the guano is properly removed and the area decontaminated.
  • Structural damage: Large piles of guano and urine can soak into insulation and drywall, causing stains, decay, or even structural strain (extreme accumulations have buckled ceilings under the weight of droppings). Also, guano is corrosive and can deteriorate wood and building materials over time, leading to costly repairs if not addressed.
  • Parasites and secondary infestations: Bat guano attracts other pests like cockroaches, and it may harbor bat mites or bat bugs (similar to bed bugs) that infest the area. Once bats are removed, these parasites can move into living spaces in search of new hosts.

Our Bat Guano Cleanup Process

A bat guano contamination is hazardous to both health and property. It requires following a meticulous process to ensure no traces are left behind to cause harm. At Spaulding Decon, our specialists are fully trained to handle a professional bat feces cleanup through our step-by-step process. Here’s what to expect:

01

Our team conducts a thorough inspection of your attic or affected area to evaluate the extent of guano accumulation and any damage. We also ensure all bats have been professionally removed (if not, we’ll advise on contacting a wildlife removal specialist first). This assessment allows us to create a tailored cleanup plan.

02

Before our bat poop cleaning service commences, we seal off the area to prevent cross-contamination. Technicians wear full PPE (protective suits, respirators, gloves) and use negative air machines or HEPA air scrubbers to ensure bat guano spores and dust don’t spread to other parts of your property.

03

We carefully vacuum and remove all bat droppings using specialized HEPA-filter vacuums and sealed containers. Any soiled insulation or materials saturated with urine or guano are removed and disposed of safely as biohazard waste. We also check for urine staining or damage in wood or drywall (common in long-term infestations) and remove any crystallized urine deposits.

04

After the major removal, we treat the affected area with professional disinfectants and enzyme cleaners to kill fungus, bacteria, and parasites. We perform odor neutralization (for example, using ozone or hydroxyl generators) to eliminate the pungent guano smell entirely. This step ensures the space is sanitized and safe to inhabit, with no lingering health hazards or odors.

05

Finally, we restore your space. This can include replacing removed insulation, minor repairs to any materials we had to take out (drywall, etc.), and attic restoration to its pre-infestation condition. We also implement prevention measures, such as wildlife exclusion assistance, identifying and sealing entry points bats used, to ensure they cannot return. Lastly, we conduct a final inspection with you to ensure your complete satisfaction and provide you with a clean bill of health for the area.
