Many homes in Detroit, about 90%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. Summers in North Corktown are milder, with July highs around 84 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time.

A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:

  • Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
  • Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
  • Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
  • Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
  • Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional

What Happens During an Attic Guano Cleanup in North Corktown

Family members, tenants, staff and pets stay out while the crew plans the work and gets into protective equipment.

2. Set up protection

Barriers and air controls go up, and the team wears protective gear before touching anything.

3. Wet, scrape and clear

Droppings are wetted, scraped and collected, and insulation that cannot be cleaned is cut out and bagged.

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in North Corktown

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.

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.

Do barns and old buildings need special handling?

Buildings with years of buildup can hold thick, dry, dusty guano that is easy to disturb. Crews ventilate, wet down and use respirators and containment to keep spores out of the air.

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.

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.

What if droppings are on a roof or high ledge?

Roof and high ledge work needs fall protection and care around other people. Crews can remove and wash droppings there, and a property manager or owner can set up access.
