Bat Guano Removal in Novi, MI Attics and Barns
Pigeon droppings removal is the cleaning of heavy, caked droppings from structures where birds roost. It can involve scraping, washing, disinfecting and sometimes removal of nests and feathers.

Only about 26% of homes in Novi were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in. Summers in Novi are milder, with July highs around 83 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time.

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Novi
Can pigeon droppings damage a roof or building?
Yes. Droppings are acidic and can stain and wear down paint, metal and roofing over time. They also clog gutters and drains and create slip hazards on walkways. Cleanup and deterrents work best together.
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 Novi Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
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.
Can I clean a small amount of guano myself?
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.
How much does guano removal cost?
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.
Is guano dangerous?
It can be. Dry guano releases fine dust, and some bird and bat droppings can carry a fungus linked to histoplasmosis, a lung infection. Many people never get sick, but older, heavy deposits carry more risk. Avoid stirring it up.
