A guano removal service deals with the health risk that bats and birds leave behind, not the animals. Wildlife professionals deal with the animals, and cleanup teams deal with the droppings, stains and odor.

With roughly 51 inches of annual rainfall in Roxborough Park, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove. Many homes in Philadelphia, about 83%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
- Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
- 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
- Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Roxborough Park, Philadelphia, PA
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.
What rules apply to guano cleanup in Pennsylvania?
Worker safety follows OSHA rules for hazardous dust, and waste disposal is handled according to local requirements. Rules about moving or excluding bats and other wildlife can vary by species and season, so check with a wildlife professional first.
Is guano dangerous?
It can be. Dry guano releases fine dust, and some bird and bat droppings can carry a fungus linked to histoplasmosis, a lung infection. Many people never get sick, but older, heavy deposits carry more risk. Avoid stirring it up.
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.
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.
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.
