With roughly 48 inches of annual rainfall in South Charleston, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove. About 80% of homes in South Charleston were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter.

Bird & Bat Guano Cleanup in South Charleston usually includes:

  • Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
  • Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
  • Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
  • Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
  • HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal

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

2. Suppress the dust

3. Remove and disinfect

Guano and soiled materials are taken out, and framing, floors and hard surfaces are cleaned and treated.

What South Charleston Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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