Most housing in Contra Costa County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 4%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. Pleasant Hill is on the drier side, with about 18 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
- Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
- Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products

What Pleasant Hill Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
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.
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 guano get into ductwork or vents?
Yes, if birds or bats roost near vents or intakes, droppings and dust can enter air paths. Cleanup may include treating vent openings and nearby surfaces.
Can pigeon droppings damage a roof or building?
Yes. Droppings are acidic and can stain and wear down paint, metal and roofing over time. They also clog gutters and drains and create slip hazards on walkways. Cleanup and deterrents work best together.
Why shouldn't guano be swept or blown?
Dry droppings turn to fine dust that floats in the air and can carry fungal spores. Sweeping or blowing sends that dust into the air where you breathe it. Wetting first keeps particles on the surface.
How much does guano removal cost?
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.
