What Taylor / Berry Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
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 do I get rid of the guano smell?
The odor comes from droppings and urine soaked into wood and insulation, so the fix is removing the source and treating surfaces. Air fresheners only cover it. Deep stains in wood may need extra treatment.
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.
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.
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.
What rules apply to guano cleanup in Kentucky?
Worker safety follows OSHA rules for hazardous dust, and waste disposal is handled according to local requirements. Rules about moving or excluding bats and other wildlife can vary by species and season, so check with a wildlife professional first.
