Most housing in Dane County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 4%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. Only about 23% of homes in DeForest were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in.

A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:

HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops

What Happens During an Attic Guano Cleanup in DeForest

1. Keep everyone away

Family members, tenants, staff and pets stay out while the crew plans the work and gets into protective equipment.

2. Suppress the dust

Technicians put on respirators and suits, then lightly wet the guano to keep fine particles from rising.

3. Remove and disinfect

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

4. Document and hand back

The owner receives a summary of the work for buyers, inspectors or insurers, and the area is cleared for use.

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in DeForest

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.

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.

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.

Can pigeon droppings damage a roof or building?

Yes. Droppings are acidic and can stain and wear down paint, metal and roofing over time. They also clog gutters and drains and create slip hazards on walkways. Cleanup and deterrents work best together.

What rules apply to guano cleanup in Wisconsin?

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.

Will the smell go away after cleanup?

Often yes, once the guano and soaked materials are removed and the area is treated. Deep stains in wood or drywall may need extra treatment, and the crew can say what to expect.
