Bat Guano Removal in Jennings, MO Attics and Barns

An attic guano cleanup removes droppings from joists, beams and insulation, and treats the structure afterward. Insulation soaked with guano is usually discarded because it holds odor and contamination.

If your home, barn, church or business in Jennings or elsewhere in St. Louis County has guano problems, you can get guano cleanup. A cleanup team works in respirators and protective suits and follows workplace safety rules for hazardous dust. Call Jennings Biohazard Cleanup Help to begin.

About 24% of housing in Jennings is vacant, and empty buildings, barns and lofts give bats and birds quiet places to roost undisturbed. Jennings gets about 42 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood.

The work often covers:

  • Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
  • Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
  • Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
  • Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
  • Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup

2. Hold the dust down

Moisture and containment keep spores and particles from becoming airborne during removal.

3. Take out contaminated material

Guano, matted insulation and nesting debris are packed out, and salvageable items are set aside for cleaning.

4. Sanitize and deodorize

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

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Jennings, MO

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.

Why shouldn't guano be swept or blown?

Dry droppings turn to fine dust that floats in the air and can carry fungal spores. Sweeping or blowing sends that dust into the air where you breathe it. Wetting first keeps particles on the surface.

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.

What if droppings are on a roof or high ledge?

Roof and high ledge work needs fall protection and care around other people. Crews can remove and wash droppings there, and a property manager or owner can set up access.

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.
