Bat guano removal is the careful collection of bat droppings, usually from attics and wall voids, using wet methods and containment. It protects people from dust that can carry fungal spores.

Only about 42% of homes in Callaway County were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in. A July high of 89 degrees in Holts Summit affects how fast guano dries and how strong the ammonia smell gets in a closed attic.
The work often covers:
- Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
- Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
- Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Holts Summit, MO
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.
How do you clean pigeon droppings safely?
Wet the droppings lightly, scrape them into a bag, then wash and disinfect the surface. Wear gloves, eye protection and a mask. Large roost areas, rooftops and enclosed spaces are best left to a team.
Can guano get into ductwork or vents?
Yes, if birds or bats roost near vents or intakes, droppings and dust can enter air paths. Cleanup may include treating vent openings and nearby surfaces.
How do I know if I have bats in my attic?
Common signs are dark droppings that crumble, stains on walls near gaps, a strong ammonia smell and squeaking or scratching at dusk and dawn. Droppings often collect in piles below entry points. A wildlife professional can confirm it.
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.
