Many homes in Newell, about 76%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. Most housing in Hancock County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 10%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years.

The work often covers:

  • Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
  • Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
  • Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
  • Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
  • Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris

What Newell Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

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.

Will insurance pay for guano cleanup?

Sometimes, but not always. Many homeowners policies exclude damage from animals that builds up over time, and wording differs. Call your insurer before work starts, take photos and keep receipts.

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 you clean pigeon droppings safely?

Wet the droppings lightly, scrape them into a bag, then wash and disinfect the surface. Wear gloves, eye protection and a mask. Large roost areas, rooftops and enclosed spaces are best left to a team.

Can guano get into ductwork or vents?

Yes, if birds or bats roost near vents or intakes, droppings and dust can enter air paths. Cleanup may include treating vent openings and nearby surfaces.

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