Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in East Falls, Philadelphia, PA
A guano removal service deals with the health risk that bats and birds leave behind, not the animals. Wildlife professionals deal with the animals, and cleanup teams deal with the droppings, stains and odor.
Need residential or commercial guano cleanup in East Falls or nearby parts of Philadelphia County? You can get help with attics, crawl spaces, barns, rooftops, silos and storage rooms. Why Choose East Falls Biohazard Cleanup Help? You make one call.
With roughly 51 inches of annual rainfall in East Falls, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove. Many homes in Philadelphia, about 83%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
- Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
- Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
- Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
- Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings

Common Questions About Guano Removal in East Falls, Philadelphia, PA
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.
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.
How do you clean pigeon droppings safely?
Wet the droppings lightly, scrape them into a bag, then wash and disinfect the surface. Wear gloves, eye protection and a mask. Large roost areas, rooftops and enclosed spaces are best left to a team.
What if droppings are on a roof or high ledge?
Roof and high ledge work needs fall protection and care around other people. Crews can remove and wash droppings there, and a property manager or owner can set up access.
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.
