July highs near 96 degrees in Chestnut bake attics and rooftops, drying guano into dust and making odors stronger, so crews wet it down before removal. Most housing in Austin is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 6%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
- Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
- Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Chestnut, Austin, TX
Why shouldn't guano be swept or blown?
Dry droppings turn to fine dust that floats in the air and can carry fungal spores. Sweeping or blowing sends that dust into the air where you breathe it. Wetting first keeps particles on the surface.
Does guano cleanup stop bats or birds from coming back?
No. Cleanup removes the mess but does not block entry points. A wildlife professional can seal gaps and use deterrents. Removing droppings and odor does help, since scent can draw animals back.
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.
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.
Can pigeon droppings damage a roof or building?
Yes. Droppings are acidic and can stain and wear down paint, metal and roofing over time. They also clog gutters and drains and create slip hazards on walkways. Cleanup and deterrents work best together.
