Most housing in Louisville is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 8%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. About 61% of homes in Louisville 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:
Family members, tenants, staff and pets stay out while the crew plans the work and gets into protective equipment.
Barriers and air controls go up, and the team wears protective gear before touching anything.
Joists, rafters, ledges and walls are washed and disinfected, and stained areas are treated.
Remaining surfaces are disinfected, and the ammonia-like odor is treated at its source.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
