July highs near 96 degrees in Cedar Creek bake attics and rooftops, drying guano into dust and making odors stronger, so crews wet it down before removal. Only about 22% of homes in Bastrop County were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in.
What bird & bat guano cleanup covers:
The team asks where droppings were found, how thick they are and whether bats or birds are still using the space.
Moisture and containment keep spores and particles from becoming airborne during removal.
Droppings are wetted, scraped and collected, and insulation that cannot be cleaned is cut out and bagged.
HEPA filtration clears the air, surfaces are disinfected, and the owner is walked through the result.

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.
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.
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.
It depends on the size of the area, the depth of the deposit, how much insulation must come out and how hard the space is to reach. A small ledge costs less than a full attic. The team sets the price after seeing the space.
Sometimes. For a small spot, wear gloves, eye protection and a mask, wet the droppings lightly and wipe them up. Do not sweep or blow them dry. Thick, old or large deposits and attics are better left to a team.
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.
Guano dust is easy to breathe in, so protection and containment come first.
