Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in McElhattan, PA

Only about 46% of homes in McElhattan were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in. McElhattan 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.

What bird & bat guano cleanup covers:

  • Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
  • Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
  • Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in McElhattan

How do you clean pigeon droppings safely?

Wet the droppings lightly, scrape them into a bag, then wash and disinfect the surface. Wear gloves, eye protection and a mask. Large roost areas, rooftops and enclosed spaces are best left to a team.

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.

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 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.

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.

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