About 65% of homes in Honolulu were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. Salt Lake gets about 151 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood.
What bird & bat guano cleanup covers:
- Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
- Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
- Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
What Happens During an Attic Guano Cleanup in Salt Lake

3. Remove and bag
Guano, soiled insulation and nesting debris are removed by hand or with HEPA-filtered tools and sealed in heavy bags.
4. Disinfect and inspect
Wood, drywall and hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, odor is treated, and the crew checks the finished space.

What Salt Lake Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
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 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.
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.
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.
What rules apply to guano cleanup in Hawaii?
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.
