Guano Cleanup Services for Salix Roofs, Attics and Ledges
Bat guano removal is the careful collection of bat droppings, usually from attics and wall voids, using wet methods and containment. It protects people from dust that can carry fungal spores.

About 13% of housing in Cambria County is vacant, and empty buildings, barns and lofts give bats and birds quiet places to roost undisturbed. Many homes in Cambria County, about 80%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell.
The work often covers:
- Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
- Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops

What Salix Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
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.
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.
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.
Can I clean a small amount of guano myself?
Sometimes. For a small spot, wear gloves, eye protection and a mask, wet the droppings lightly and wipe them up. Do not sweep or blow them dry. Thick, old or large deposits and attics are better left to a team.
What rules apply to guano cleanup in Pennsylvania?
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.
How do I know if I have bats in my attic?
Common signs are dark droppings that crumble, stains on walls near gaps, a strong ammonia smell and squeaking or scratching at dusk and dawn. Droppings often collect in piles below entry points. A wildlife professional can confirm it.
