Many homes in La Crescenta-Montrose, about 84%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. La Crescenta-Montrose is on the drier side, with about 16 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal.
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
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
- Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
The Bat and Bird Droppings Removal Process in La Crescenta-Montrose
2. Suppress the dust
Technicians put on respirators and suits, then lightly wet the guano to keep fine particles from rising.
3. Wet, scrape and clear
Droppings are wetted, scraped and collected, and insulation that cannot be cleaned is cut out and bagged.
4. Clean the air and surfaces
HEPA filtration clears the air, surfaces are disinfected, and the owner is walked through the result.

What La Crescenta-Montrose Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
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.
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.
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.
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.
Can I clean a small amount of guano myself?
Sometimes. For a small spot, wear gloves, eye protection and a mask, wet the droppings lightly and wipe them up. Do not sweep or blow them dry. Thick, old or large deposits and attics are better left to a team.
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.
