Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil enriched by droppings from birds and bats. Guano cleanup is designed to keep those spores from being breathed in.
Guano is a respiratory risk, so your Bancroft property gets containment, wet methods and protective gear, then disinfecting and inspection before the space is handed back to you. For Hennepin County owners, call Bancroft Biohazard Cleanup Help.
About 72% of homes in Minneapolis were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. Summers in Bancroft are milder, with July highs around 83 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
- Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
- Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
- Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Bancroft
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.
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.
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.
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.
Who pays for guano cleanup in a rental?
It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.
Does guano cleanup stop bats or birds from coming back?
No. Cleanup removes the mess but does not block entry points. A wildlife professional can seal gaps and use deterrents. Removing droppings and odor does help, since scent can draw animals back.
