Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in La Sierra, Riverside, CA
Guano cleanup is the safe removal of bird and bat droppings from attics, barns, chimneys, roofs and ledges, along with soiled insulation, then disinfection of the affected area. Dust control is built into every step.
Guano is a respiratory risk, so your La Sierra property gets containment, wet methods and protective gear, then disinfecting and inspection before the space is handed back to you. For Riverside County owners, call La Sierra Biohazard Cleanup Help.
A typical July high of 95 degrees in La Sierra makes attics extremely hot, and heat speeds the breakdown of droppings and strengthens their smell. Whatever the vacancy rate in Riverside, any property closed for a long time should be aired out first, and heavy guano should be handled with containment.
The work often covers:
- Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
- Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
- Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in La Sierra, Riverside, CA
Is bird poop a biohazard?
Large amounts of bird droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can hold germs and fungal spores. A small spot outdoors is a simple wash. Thick buildup in a closed space needs protective gear and wet methods.
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.
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.
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 La Sierra Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
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.
What if droppings are on a roof or high ledge?
Roof and high ledge work needs fall protection and care around other people. Crews can remove and wash droppings there, and a property manager or owner can set up access.
