Only about 21% of homes in Irvine were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in. Northwood 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.

What bird & bat guano cleanup covers:

  • Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
  • Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
  • Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
  • Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
  • Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures

How Guano Cleanup Works in Northwood, Irvine, CA

1. Walk through the space

A cleanup technician maps the droppings, stains and damaged insulation in attics, lofts or on rooftops.

2. Hold the dust down

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

3. Wash and disinfect the structure

Joists, rafters, ledges and walls are washed and disinfected, and stained areas are treated.

4. Final walkthrough

Odor and air are checked, and the owner is shown what was done and what remains for other trades.

What Northwood Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

What should I do first if I find guano?

Do not sweep, blow or vacuum it. Keep people and pets away and leave it undisturbed until you know the size of the job. Call Northwood Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

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.

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.

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.

Can you get sick from bat droppings?

Yes, mainly from breathing in dust from dry droppings. Risk is higher with old, heavy buildup in enclosed spaces. People with asthma, lung conditions or weak immune systems need extra care and should stay out of the area.

Does guano damage insulation?

Yes. Insulation soaks up droppings, urine and odor and rarely comes back clean, so soiled insulation is usually removed and replaced. A team can tell you how far the damage goes after seeing the attic.
