Pigeon and Bird Droppings Cleanup in Golden Valley, MN

The work often covers:
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
- Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
- Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters

What Golden Valley Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
Will insurance pay for guano cleanup?
Sometimes, but not always. Many homeowners policies exclude damage from animals that builds up over time, and wording differs. Call your insurer before work starts, take photos and keep receipts.
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 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.
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.
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 Golden Valley Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
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.
