Only about 40% of homes in DeWitt were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in. Summers in DeWitt are milder, with July highs around 83 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time.

Bird & Bat Guano Cleanup in DeWitt usually includes:

Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup

Step by Step: Safe Guano Removal in DeWitt, MI

1. Call and describe

The team asks where droppings were found, how thick they are and whether bats or birds are still using the space.

2. Collect the droppings

Guano is collected without sweeping or blowing, and bagged on site so it never crosses clean rooms.

3. Wash and disinfect the structure

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

4. Document and hand back

The owner receives a summary of the work for buyers, inspectors or insurers, and the area is cleared for use.

Common Questions About Guano Removal in DeWitt, MI

What is histoplasmosis?

Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil and droppings from birds and bats. People are exposed by breathing in spores. Many exposed people have no symptoms, and anyone who feels unwell after being around guano should tell a doctor.

How much does guano removal cost?

It depends on the size of the area, the depth of the deposit, how much insulation must come out and how hard the space is to reach. A small ledge costs less than a full attic. The team sets the price after seeing the space.

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.

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.

Will the smell go away after cleanup?

Often yes, once the guano and soaked materials are removed and the area is treated. Deep stains in wood or drywall may need extra treatment, and the crew can say what to expect.

Is guano dangerous?

It can be. Dry guano releases fine dust, and some bird and bat droppings can carry a fungus linked to histoplasmosis, a lung infection. Many people never get sick, but older, heavy deposits carry more risk. Avoid stirring it up.
