Guano Cleanup

The efficiency in which bats annihilate your local insect population is reflected in the visible by-product of their work. While often not objectional until several years of buildup or when a large colony (75 or more individuals) is present, it is best that the material be removed.

Routine guano removal should be approached with a degree of caution. A fungus sometimes found in bird and bat droppings can lead to a health condition known as histoplasmosis. Though not common in the northeast U.S., BCM takes precautions when working in these environments.

• We use properly fitting respirators.
• Spaces are broom clean when finished.
• Spaces without floors should be photographed for best estimate.
• We fit our vacuum machine with the highest grade filters possible.
• The entire room is swept, not just where bats were concentrated.
• BCM will not use cleaning chemicals in your structure unless specifically directed.
• Be aware it is STRONGLY recommended to only worry about guano AFTER you are sure the exclusion process was successful (wait a year!)
• We generally only work in attics that have finished floors.

This operation usually takes only a few hours. It is best to schedule cleanup after an eviction, and after you are sure that bats are completely sealed out. Cost start at $500.00. Leave the dirty work to us and know that the job is professional and safe to the workers and homeowners.
