Family members, tenants, staff and pets stay out while the crew plans the work and gets into protective equipment.

2. Hold the dust down

Moisture and containment keep spores and particles from becoming airborne during removal.

Soiled insulation, stained cardboard and nesting debris go into sealed bags, and hard surfaces are scrubbed.

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

What Wathena Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

What rules apply to guano cleanup in Kansas?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Is it safe to stay home during guano cleanup?

For work in a sealed attic, many people stay in the home while crews work with containment. For heavy contamination or open spaces, it may be better to stay away. The team will say what is best for your situation.

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.

Thick droppings in a Wathena attic or barn?

Do not sweep or blow. A cleanup team can plan the safe way to remove them.
