Palms is on the drier side, with about 14 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal. About 70% of homes in Los Angeles were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter.

A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:

  • Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
  • Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
  • Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
  • Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
  • Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Palms

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.

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.

What rules apply to guano cleanup in California?

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.

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.

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.

Can pigeon droppings damage a roof or building?

Yes. Droppings are acidic and can stain and wear down paint, metal and roofing over time. They also clog gutters and drains and create slip hazards on walkways. Cleanup and deterrents work best together.
