Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in Destrehan, LA
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 Destrehan property gets containment, wet methods and protective gear, then disinfecting and inspection before the space is handed back to you. For St. Charles Parish owners, call Destrehan Biohazard Cleanup Help.
Most housing in St. Charles Parish is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 10%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. Only about 21% of homes in Destrehan were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in.
The work often covers:
- Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
- 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
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
How Crews Contain and Remove Guano in Destrehan, LA

Soiled insulation, stained cardboard and nesting debris go into sealed bags, and hard surfaces are scrubbed.
4. Treat and verify
The space is disinfected, deodorized and inspected, and the crew explains what repairs or insulation work may follow.

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Destrehan, LA
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.
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.
How much does guano removal cost?
It depends on the size of the area, the depth of the deposit, how much insulation must come out and how hard the space is to reach. A small ledge costs less than a full attic. The team sets the price after seeing the space.
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.
Do barns and old buildings need special handling?
Buildings with years of buildup can hold thick, dry, dusty guano that is easy to disturb. Crews ventilate, wet down and use respirators and containment to keep spores out of the air.
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.
