About 15% of housing in Pittsburgh is vacant, and empty buildings, barns and lofts give bats and birds quiet places to roost undisturbed. About 83% of homes in Pittsburgh were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
- Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
- Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Strip District, Pittsburgh, PA
What rules apply to guano cleanup in Pennsylvania?
Worker safety follows OSHA rules for hazardous dust, and waste disposal is handled according to local requirements. Rules about moving or excluding bats and other wildlife can vary by species and season, so check with a wildlife professional first.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Do I need to replace attic insulation after guano?
Usually, if droppings or urine have soaked into it. Soiled insulation holds contamination and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. After removal, new insulation is installed as a separate job.
