Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in Salinas, CA

Bat droppings cleanup includes more than the visible pile. Urine, staining and odor can soak into wood, drywall and insulation, which is why surrounding materials are checked and often removed.

If your home, barn, church or business in Salinas or elsewhere in Monterey County has guano problems, you can get guano cleanup. A cleanup team works in respirators and protective suits and follows workplace safety rules for hazardous dust. Call Salinas Biohazard Cleanup Help to begin.

Most housing in Salinas is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 4%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. Salinas is on the drier side, with about 13 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal.

A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:

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
Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats

Guano and soiled materials are taken out, and framing, floors and hard surfaces are cleaned and treated.

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Salinas, CA

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.

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 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 Salinas Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

Can pigeon droppings damage a roof or building?

Yes. Droppings are acidic and can stain and wear down paint, metal and roofing over time. They also clog gutters and drains and create slip hazards on walkways. Cleanup and deterrents work best together.

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.

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.
