Many homes in Dunsmuir, about 85%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. About 40% of housing in Dunsmuir is vacant, and empty buildings, barns and lofts give bats and birds quiet places to roost undisturbed.

  • Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
  • Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
  • Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
  • Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
  • Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal

How Guano Cleanup Works in Dunsmuir, CA

A cleanup technician maps the droppings, stains and damaged insulation in attics, lofts or on rooftops.

Plastic barriers seal the work zone, and technicians put on respirators and disposable suits.

3. Wash and disinfect the structure

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

Remaining surfaces are disinfected, and the ammonia-like odor is treated at its source.

What Dunsmuir Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

Is bird poop a biohazard?

Large amounts of bird droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can hold germs and fungal spores. A small spot outdoors is a simple wash. Thick buildup in a closed space needs protective gear and wet methods.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
