About 82% of homes in Fountain Valley were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. Fountain Valley is on the drier side, with about 11 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
- Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Fountain Valley
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.
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.
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.
Who removes bat guano from an attic?
A guano removal service or cleanup team usually does this work. It involves containment, protective gear, careful removal and disinfecting. Wildlife professionals handle the animals themselves.
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.
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.
