Pigeon and Bird Droppings Cleanup in Westview, Atlanta, GA
Bat and bird guano remediation is the full job of removal, disinfecting and deodorizing after animals have been excluded. It often precedes insulation replacement, repairs and sealing of entry points by other trades.
If you are a homeowner, landlord or property manager in Westview, Atlanta, GA, you can get bat and bird guano removal. Crews work at any hour in attics, lofts, rooftops, chimneys, balconies and warehouses across Fulton County. To start, call Westview Biohazard Cleanup Help.
About 43% of homes in Atlanta were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. With roughly 48 inches of annual rainfall in Westview, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Westview, Atlanta, GA
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.
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 Westview Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
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.
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.
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.
Why shouldn't guano be swept or blown?
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.
