Summers in Harrison are milder, with July highs around 83 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time. About 72% of homes in Minneapolis were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter.

A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:

  • HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
  • Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
  • Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
  • Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
  • Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops

The Bat and Bird Droppings Removal Process in Harrison

1. Find every deposit

Crews check roost sites, rafters, ledges and insulation, since droppings build up where animals return again and again.

2. Collect the droppings

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

3. Wet, scrape and clear

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

4. Disinfect and inspect

Wood, drywall and hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, odor is treated, and the crew checks the finished space.

What Harrison Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

What rules apply to guano cleanup in Minnesota?

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.

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.

Should I remove the bats first or clean the guano first?

The animals come out first. Wildlife professionals handle exclusion, and rules about bats can vary by species, season and place. Cleanup follows once the space is no longer in use by animals.

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 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.

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.
