Only about 26% of homes in Sherburne County were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in. Summers in Becker are milder, with July highs around 81 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time.

A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:

Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris

How Crews Contain and Remove Guano in Becker, MN

1. Call and describe

The team asks where droppings were found, how thick they are and whether bats or birds are still using the space.

2. Suppress the dust

Technicians put on respirators and suits, then lightly wet the guano to keep fine particles from rising.

3. Take out contaminated material

Guano, matted insulation and nesting debris are packed out, and salvageable items are set aside for cleaning.

4. Sanitize and deodorize

Remaining surfaces are disinfected, and the ammonia-like odor is treated at its source.

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Becker

Is it safe to stay home during guano cleanup?

For work in a sealed attic, many people stay in the home while crews work with containment. For heavy contamination or open spaces, it may be better to stay away. The team will say what is best for your situation.

Why shouldn't guano be swept or blown?

Dry droppings turn to fine dust that floats in the air and can carry fungal spores. Sweeping or blowing sends that dust into the air where you breathe it. Wetting first keeps particles on the surface.

Can guano get into ductwork or vents?

Yes, if birds or bats roost near vents or intakes, droppings and dust can enter air paths. Cleanup may include treating vent openings and nearby surfaces.

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 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.

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.
