What bird & bat guano cleanup covers:
Crews check roost sites, rafters, ledges and insulation, since droppings build up where animals return again and again.
Guano is collected without sweeping or blowing, and bagged on site so it never crosses clean rooms.

Remaining surfaces are disinfected, and the ammonia-like odor is treated at its source.

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.
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.
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.
Call (877) 812-4220 any hour and describe where the droppings are.
