Bat Guano Removal in South Natomas, Sacramento, CA Attics and Barns

Bat droppings cleanup includes more than the visible pile. Urine, staining and odor can soak into wood, drywall and insulation, which is why surrounding materials are checked and often removed.

Guano is a respiratory risk, so your South Natomas property gets containment, wet methods and protective gear, then disinfecting and inspection before the space is handed back to you. For Sacramento County owners, call South Natomas Biohazard Cleanup Help.

Most housing in Sacramento is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 6%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. South Natomas is on the drier side, with about 19 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal.

A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:

  • Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
  • Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
  • HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
  • Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
  • Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops

Common Questions About Guano Removal in South Natomas, Sacramento, CA

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

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.

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.

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.
