Most housing in Wright County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 6%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. Only about 34% of homes in Buffalo were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in.

What bird & bat guano cleanup covers:

Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings

Step by Step: Safe Guano Removal in Buffalo, MN

1. Walk through the space

A cleanup technician maps the droppings, stains and damaged insulation in attics, lofts or on rooftops.

2. Wet down thick deposits

Heavy or caked droppings are softened with a light mist so they can be lifted without raising dust.

3. Remove and bag

Guano, soiled insulation and nesting debris are removed by hand or with HEPA-filtered tools and sealed in heavy bags.

4. Sanitize and deodorize

Remaining surfaces are disinfected, and the ammonia-like odor is treated at its source.

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Buffalo

Who pays for guano cleanup in a rental?

It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.

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.

Can you get sick from bat droppings?

Yes, mainly from breathing in dust from dry droppings. Risk is higher with old, heavy buildup in enclosed spaces. People with asthma, lung conditions or weak immune systems need extra care and should stay out of the area.

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.

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.

What is histoplasmosis?

Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil and droppings from birds and bats. People are exposed by breathing in spores. Many exposed people have no symptoms, and anyone who feels unwell after being around guano should tell a doctor.
