Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Fort Ashby, WV

Does guano cleanup stop bats or birds from coming back?

No. Cleanup removes the mess but does not block entry points. A wildlife professional can seal gaps and use deterrents. Removing droppings and odor does help, since scent can draw animals back.

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.

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.

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.

Can I clean a small amount of guano myself?

Sometimes. For a small spot, wear gloves, eye protection and a mask, wet the droppings lightly and wipe them up. Do not sweep or blow them dry. Thick, old or large deposits and attics are better left to a team.

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