Step by Step: Safe Guano Removal in Sodus, NY

1. Call and describe

The team asks where droppings were found, how thick they are and whether bats or birds are still using the space.

2. Collect the droppings

Guano is collected without sweeping or blowing, and bagged on site so it never crosses clean rooms.

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. Final walkthrough

Odor and air are checked, and the owner is shown what was done and what remains for other trades.

What Sodus Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

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.

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.

How do you clean pigeon droppings safely?

Wet the droppings lightly, scrape them into a bag, then wash and disinfect the surface. Wear gloves, eye protection and a mask. Large roost areas, rooftops and enclosed spaces are best left to a team.

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.

Can you get sick from bat droppings?

Yes, mainly from breathing in dust from dry droppings. Risk is higher with old, heavy buildup in enclosed spaces. People with asthma, lung conditions or weak immune systems need extra care and should stay out of the area.

What rules apply to guano cleanup in New York?

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.
