About 12% of housing in Malheur County is vacant, and empty buildings, barns and lofts give bats and birds quiet places to roost undisturbed. Many homes in Vale, about 76%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell.

The work often covers:

Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Vale

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.

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.

Do I need to replace attic insulation after guano?

Usually, if droppings or urine have soaked into it. Soiled insulation holds contamination and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. After removal, new insulation is installed as a separate job.

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.

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.
