Bird and Bat Guano Cleanup for Montpelier, VT Homes and Businesses

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 you are a homeowner, landlord or property manager in Montpelier, VT, you can get bat and bird guano removal. Crews work at any hour in attics, lofts, rooftops, chimneys, balconies and warehouses across Washington County. To start, call Montpelier Biohazard Cleanup Help.

About 76% of homes in Montpelier were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. Montpelier gets about 41 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood.

Bird & Bat Guano Cleanup in Montpelier usually includes:

  • 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
  • Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
  • Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
  • Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers

What Happens During an Attic Guano Cleanup in Montpelier

1. Find every deposit

Crews check roost sites, rafters, ledges and insulation, since droppings build up where animals return again and again.

2. Contain and suit up

Plastic barriers seal the work zone, and technicians put on respirators and disposable suits.

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. Disinfect and inspect

Wood, drywall and hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, odor is treated, and the crew checks the finished space.

What Montpelier Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

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

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.

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.

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.

Does guano damage insulation?

Yes. Insulation soaks up droppings, urine and odor and rarely comes back clean, so soiled insulation is usually removed and replaced. A team can tell you how far the damage goes after seeing the attic.

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.
