Many homes in New Bedford, about 84%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. Summers in New Bedford are milder, with July highs around 82 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time.

The work often covers:

  • Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
  • Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
  • Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
  • Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
  • HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal

What Happens During an Attic Guano Cleanup in New Bedford

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. Contain and suit up

Plastic barriers seal the work zone, and technicians put on respirators and disposable suits.

3. Remove what cannot be cleaned

Soiled insulation, stained cardboard and nesting debris go into sealed bags, and hard surfaces are scrubbed.

4. Disinfect and inspect

Wood, drywall and hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, odor is treated, and the crew checks the finished space.

What New Bedford Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

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.

What is histoplasmosis?

Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil and droppings from birds and bats. People are exposed by breathing in spores. Many exposed people have no symptoms, and anyone who feels unwell after being around guano should tell a doctor.

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.

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.

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.

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 New Bedford Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
