Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in Barton Hills, Austin, TX
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.
Guano is a respiratory risk, so your Barton Hills property gets containment, wet methods and protective gear, then disinfecting and inspection before the space is handed back to you. For Travis County owners, call Barton Hills Biohazard Cleanup Help.
A typical July high of 96 degrees in Barton Hills makes attics extremely hot, and heat speeds the breakdown of droppings and strengthens their smell. Most housing in Austin is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 6%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years.
What bird & bat guano cleanup covers:
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
- Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic

What Barton Hills Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
How do I get rid of the guano smell?
The odor comes from droppings and urine soaked into wood and insulation, so the fix is removing the source and treating surfaces. Air fresheners only cover it. Deep stains in wood may need extra treatment.
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.
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.
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.
How do I know if I have bats in my attic?
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.
