Most housing in Tioga County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 8%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. Summers in Waverly are milder, with July highs around 83 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time.

Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup

How Guano Cleanup Works in Waverly, NY

1. Call and describe

The team asks where droppings were found, how thick they are and whether bats or birds are still using the space.

2. Wet down thick deposits

Heavy or caked droppings are softened with a light mist so they can be lifted without raising dust.

3. Wash and disinfect the structure

Joists, rafters, ledges and walls are washed and disinfected, and stained areas are treated.

4. Document and hand back

The owner receives a summary of the work for buyers, inspectors or insurers, and the area is cleared for use.

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Waverly

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.

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.

Can guano get into ductwork or vents?

Yes, if birds or bats roost near vents or intakes, droppings and dust can enter air paths. Cleanup may include treating vent openings and nearby surfaces.

What rules apply to guano cleanup in New York?

Worker safety follows OSHA rules for hazardous dust, and waste disposal is handled according to local requirements. Rules about moving or excluding bats and other wildlife can vary by species and season, so check with a wildlife professional first.

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 it safe to stay home during guano cleanup?

For work in a sealed attic, many people stay in the home while crews work with containment. For heavy contamination or open spaces, it may be better to stay away. The team will say what is best for your situation.
