Bird & Bat Guano Cleanup in Greater Hilltop, Columbus, OH

Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in Greater Hilltop, Columbus, OH

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.

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

Only about 50% of homes in Columbus were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in. Greater Hilltop gets about 45 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
  • Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
  • Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
  • Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
  • Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal

From Thick Droppings to a Sanitized Space in Greater Hilltop, Columbus, OH

1. Call and describe

The team asks where droppings were found, how thick they are and whether bats or birds are still using the space.

2. Collect the droppings

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

3. Wash and disinfect the structure

Joists, rafters, ledges and walls are washed and disinfected, and stained areas are treated.

4. Clean the air and surfaces

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

What Greater Hilltop Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

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.

Will the smell go away after cleanup?

Often yes, once the guano and soaked materials are removed and the area is treated. Deep stains in wood or drywall may need extra treatment, and the crew can say what to expect.

Will insurance pay for guano cleanup?

Sometimes, but not always. Many homeowners policies exclude damage from animals that builds up over time, and wording differs. Call your insurer before work starts, take photos and keep receipts.

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 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.

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.
