Many homes in Williamsville, about 92%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. Williamsville 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.
The work often covers:
- Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
- Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings

2. Collect the droppings

Droppings are wetted, scraped and collected, and insulation that cannot be cleaned is cut out and bagged.
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 Williamsville, NY
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Does guano cleanup stop bats or birds from coming back?
No. Cleanup removes the mess but does not block entry points. A wildlife professional can seal gaps and use deterrents. Removing droppings and odor does help, since scent can draw animals back.
