About 53% of homes in Seattle were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. Summers in Westlake are milder, with July highs around 77 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time.

A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:

Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal

3. Wash and disinfect the structure

Joists, rafters, ledges and walls are washed and disinfected, and stained areas are treated.

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Westlake

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.

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.

Do barns and old buildings need special handling?

Buildings with years of buildup can hold thick, dry, dusty guano that is easy to disturb. Crews ventilate, wet down and use respirators and containment to keep spores out of the air.

Can I clean a small amount of guano myself?

Sometimes. For a small spot, wear gloves, eye protection and a mask, wet the droppings lightly and wipe them up. Do not sweep or blow them dry. Thick, old or large deposits and attics are better left to a team.

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.

How much does guano removal cost?

It depends on the size of the area, the depth of the deposit, how much insulation must come out and how hard the space is to reach. A small ledge costs less than a full attic. The team sets the price after seeing the space.
