A typical July high of 96 degrees in Old Enfield 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.
The work often covers:
- Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
- Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
- Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup

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

What Old Enfield 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.
Is bird poop a biohazard?
Large amounts of bird droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can hold germs and fungal spores. A small spot outdoors is a simple wash. Thick buildup in a closed space needs protective gear and wet methods.
What is histoplasmosis?
Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil and droppings from birds and bats. People are exposed by breathing in spores. Many exposed people have no symptoms, and anyone who feels unwell after being around guano should tell a doctor.
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.
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.
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.
