About 83% of homes in Philadelphia were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. With roughly 51 inches of annual rainfall in Bella Vista, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove.
The work often covers:
- Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
- Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
- Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
- Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats

What Bella Vista Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
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.
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.
Will the smell go away after cleanup?
Often yes, once the guano and soaked materials are removed and the area is treated. Deep stains in wood or drywall may need extra treatment, and the crew can say what to expect.
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.
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.
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.
