Bat Guano Removal in Mount Washington, Baltimore, MD Attics and Barns

Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil enriched by droppings from birds and bats. Guano cleanup is designed to keep those spores from being breathed in.

Need residential or commercial guano cleanup in Mount Washington or nearby parts of City of Baltimore? You can get help with attics, crawl spaces, barns, rooftops, silos and storage rooms. Why Choose Mount Washington Biohazard Cleanup Help? You make one call.

Many homes in Baltimore, about 82%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. With roughly 44 inches of annual rainfall in Mount Washington, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove.

A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:

  • Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
  • Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
  • Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
  • Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
  • Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup

Family members, tenants, staff and pets stay out while the crew plans the work and gets into protective equipment.

2. Collect the droppings

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

3. Remove and disinfect

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

4. Clean the air and surfaces

HEPA filtration clears the air, surfaces are disinfected, and the owner is walked through the result.

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Mount Washington, Baltimore, MD

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
