What Venice Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

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.

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.

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.

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.

Will insurance pay for guano cleanup?

Sometimes, but not always. Many homeowners policies exclude damage from animals that builds up over time, and wording differs. Call your insurer before work starts, take photos and keep receipts.

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.
