Guano Cleanup Services for Orchard Homes Roofs, Attics and Ledges

About 65% of homes in Orchard Homes were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. Orchard Homes is on the drier side, with about 14 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal.
The work often covers:
- Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
- Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
- Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers

What Orchard Homes Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
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.
Do I need to replace attic insulation after guano?
Usually, if droppings or urine have soaked into it. Soiled insulation holds contamination and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. After removal, new insulation is installed as a separate job.
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.
How much does guano removal cost?
It depends on the size of the area, the depth of the deposit, how much insulation must come out and how hard the space is to reach. A small ledge costs less than a full attic. The team sets the price after seeing the space.
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 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 Orchard Homes Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
