Palouse is on the drier side, with about 20 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal. With a vacancy rate of 15% in Whitman County, unused structures often hold years of droppings by the time someone opens them up.

A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:

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
HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal

From Thick Droppings to a Sanitized Space in Palouse, WA

2. Wet down thick deposits

Heavy or caked droppings are softened with a light mist so they can be lifted without raising dust.

3. Wet, scrape and clear

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

4. Document and hand back

The owner receives a summary of the work for buyers, inspectors or insurers, and the area is cleared for use.

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Palouse, WA

How do I get rid of the guano smell?

The odor comes from droppings and urine soaked into wood and insulation, so the fix is removing the source and treating surfaces. Air fresheners only cover it. Deep stains in wood may need extra treatment.

Do I need to replace attic insulation after guano?

Usually, if droppings or urine have soaked into it. Soiled insulation holds contamination and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. After removal, new insulation is installed as a separate job.

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

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.

What is histoplasmosis?

Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil and droppings from birds and bats. People are exposed by breathing in spores. Many exposed people have no symptoms, and anyone who feels unwell after being around guano should tell a doctor.
