Only about 33% of homes in Vine Grove were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in. With roughly 54 inches of annual rainfall in Vine Grove, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove.

What bird & bat guano cleanup covers:

  • Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
  • Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
  • Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats

Guano and soiled materials are taken out, and framing, floors and hard surfaces are cleaned and treated.

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Vine Grove

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.

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 is histoplasmosis?

Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil and droppings from birds and bats. People are exposed by breathing in spores. Many exposed people have no symptoms, and anyone who feels unwell after being around guano should tell a doctor.

Should I remove the bats first or clean the guano first?

The animals come out first. Wildlife professionals handle exclusion, and rules about bats can vary by species, season and place. Cleanup follows once the space is no longer in use by animals.

What if droppings are on a roof or high ledge?

Roof and high ledge work needs fall protection and care around other people. Crews can remove and wash droppings there, and a property manager or owner can set up access.

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.
