A typical July high of 98 degrees in East Porterville makes attics extremely hot, and heat speeds the breakdown of droppings and strengthens their smell. About 73% of homes in East Porterville were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter.
The work often covers:
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
- Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
- Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal

What East Porterville Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
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 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 East Porterville Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
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.
Should I remove the bats first or clean the guano first?
The animals come out first. Wildlife professionals handle exclusion, and rules about bats can vary by species, season and place. Cleanup follows once the space is no longer in use by animals.
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.
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.
