Summers in Britt are milder, with July highs around 82 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time. About 75% of homes in Britt were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter.
The work often covers:
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
- Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
- Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops

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.

What Britt Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
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.
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.
Can you get sick from bat droppings?
Yes, mainly from breathing in dust from dry droppings. Risk is higher with old, heavy buildup in enclosed spaces. People with asthma, lung conditions or weak immune systems need extra care and should stay out of the area.
Why shouldn't guano be swept or blown?
Dry droppings turn to fine dust that floats in the air and can carry fungal spores. Sweeping or blowing sends that dust into the air where you breathe it. Wetting first keeps particles on the surface.
Can pigeon droppings damage a roof or building?
Yes. Droppings are acidic and can stain and wear down paint, metal and roofing over time. They also clog gutters and drains and create slip hazards on walkways. Cleanup and deterrents work best together.
Who removes bat guano from an attic?
A guano removal service or cleanup team usually does this work. It involves containment, protective gear, careful removal and disinfecting. Wildlife professionals handle the animals themselves.
