What bird & bat guano cleanup covers:
Family members, tenants, staff and pets stay out while the crew plans the work and gets into protective equipment.
Guano is collected without sweeping or blowing, and bagged on site so it never crosses clean rooms.
Soiled insulation, stained cardboard and nesting debris go into sealed bags, and hard surfaces are scrubbed.
Wood, drywall and hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, odor is treated, and the crew checks the finished space.

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 Marlin Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Tell the team what you found and it explains the next step.
