Many homes in Detroit, about 90%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. About 22% of housing in Detroit is vacant, and empty buildings, barns and lofts give bats and birds quiet places to roost undisturbed.

The work often covers:

  • Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
  • Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
  • Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
  • Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
  • Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Pingree Park

What rules apply to guano cleanup in Michigan?

Worker safety follows OSHA rules for hazardous dust, and waste disposal is handled according to local requirements. Rules about moving or excluding bats and other wildlife can vary by species and season, so check with a wildlife professional first.

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.

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.

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 Pingree Park 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.

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.
