When bats take up residence in your attic, crawl space, or other building areas, the resulting accumulation of bat guano is more than just an unsightly mess; it poses serious health threats. Bat droppings can harbor fungal spores, bacteria, and even bat bugs, all of which degrade indoor air quality and may lead to respiratory issues. For Minnesota homeowners facing a bat infestation, professional bat guano cleanup is the safest way to restore a healthy living environment.
Health Hazards of Bat Guano
Dried guano dust can carry Histoplasma capsulatum, a fungus that causes histoplasmosis. Symptoms include fever, coughing, and fatigue. Guano also attracts insects and rodents, which can damage insulation, wiring, and structural components. Removing guano promptly prevents the spread of pathogens and avoids expensive repairs.

Our Bat Guano Clean-up Process
We tailor every cleanup plan to your property’s needs. Our comprehensive service includes:
- Inspection: A detailed evaluation of affected areas to determine guano extent and any structural damage.
- Containment & Removal: Negative-pressure barriers and HEPA-filtered vacuums capture and remove droppings without dispersing harmful dust.
- Sanitization: EPA-approved disinfectants neutralize fungi, bacteria, and odors on all surfaces.
- Repairs & Replacement: We replace damaged insulation, drywall, and ceiling tiles and seal entry points to prevent future invasions.
- Exclusion Recommendations: We advise on exclusion methods such as one-way exit devices, vent screens, and roof repairs to keep bats out for good.
Sanitization and Air Quality Restoration
After guano removal, our team applies hospital-grade disinfectants to joists, rafters, and insulation to eliminate remaining pathogens. In cases of heavy contamination, we deploy air-scrubbing units to filter airborne particles throughout the cleanup process. These steps ensure that your indoor air returns to safe levels before we complete the job.
Property Restoration and Bat Exclusion
Bat guano can soak into building materials and require more than simple removal. Our crew replaces or repairs compromised insulation and drywall to restore structural integrity. We then seal gaps, install vent screens, and apply exclusion devices to block bat entry points. This two-pronged approach addresses both the contamination and the source of the problem.
