With roughly 51 inches of annual rainfall in Passyunk Square, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove. Many homes in Philadelphia, about 83%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell.

The work often covers:

  • Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
  • Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
  • Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
  • Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
  • Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats

What Passyunk Square Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
