Most housing in Delaware County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 6%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. With roughly 42 inches of annual rainfall in Media, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove.

Bird & Bat Guano Cleanup in Media usually includes:

Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic

The Bat and Bird Droppings Removal Process in Media

1. Keep everyone away

Family members, tenants, staff and pets stay out while the crew plans the work and gets into protective equipment.

2. Collect the droppings

Guano is collected without sweeping or blowing, and bagged on site so it never crosses clean rooms.

3. Take out contaminated material

Guano, matted insulation and nesting debris are packed out, and salvageable items are set aside for cleaning.

4. Clean the air and surfaces

HEPA filtration clears the air, surfaces are disinfected, and the owner is walked through the result.

What Media Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

Do barns and old buildings need special handling?

Buildings with years of buildup can hold thick, dry, dusty guano that is easy to disturb. Crews ventilate, wet down and use respirators and containment to keep spores out of the air.

Is guano dangerous?

It can be. Dry guano releases fine dust, and some bird and bat droppings can carry a fungus linked to histoplasmosis, a lung infection. Many people never get sick, but older, heavy deposits carry more risk. Avoid stirring it up.

Do I need to replace attic insulation after guano?

Usually, if droppings or urine have soaked into it. Soiled insulation holds contamination and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. After removal, new insulation is installed as a separate job.

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.

What should I do first if I find guano?

Do not sweep, blow or vacuum it. Keep people and pets away and leave it undisturbed until you know the size of the job. Call Media Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

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.
