Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in Ocean Shores, WA
A guano removal service deals with the health risk that bats and birds leave behind, not the animals. Wildlife professionals deal with the animals, and cleanup teams deal with the droppings, stains and odor.
Guano is a respiratory risk, so your Ocean Shores property gets containment, wet methods and protective gear, then disinfecting and inspection before the space is handed back to you. For Grays Harbor County owners, call Ocean Shores Biohazard Cleanup Help.
Only about 26% of homes in Ocean Shores were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in. Summers in Ocean Shores are milder, with July highs around 67 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time.

- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products

What Ocean Shores 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.
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 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.
Who removes bat guano from an attic?
A guano removal service or cleanup team usually does this work. It involves containment, protective gear, careful removal and disinfecting. Wildlife professionals handle the animals themselves.
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.
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.
