Summers in Wheaton are milder, with July highs around 82 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time. Many homes in Wheaton, about 76%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell.

A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:

  • Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
  • Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
  • Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
  • HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
  • Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris

How Guano Cleanup Works in Wheaton, MN

1. Walk through the space

A cleanup technician maps the droppings, stains and damaged insulation in attics, lofts or on rooftops.

2. Wet down thick deposits

Heavy or caked droppings are softened with a light mist so they can be lifted without raising dust.

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. Sanitize and deodorize

Remaining surfaces are disinfected, and the ammonia-like odor is treated at its source.

What Wheaton Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

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.

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 is histoplasmosis?

Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil and droppings from birds and bats. People are exposed by breathing in spores. Many exposed people have no symptoms, and anyone who feels unwell after being around guano should tell a doctor.

Can guano get into ductwork or vents?

Yes, if birds or bats roost near vents or intakes, droppings and dust can enter air paths. Cleanup may include treating vent openings and nearby surfaces.

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.

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.
