Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil enriched by droppings from birds and bats. Guano cleanup is designed to keep those spores from being breathed in.

With a vacancy rate of 17% in Montecito, unused structures often hold years of droppings by the time someone opens them up. Montecito is on the drier side, with about 19 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal.
The work often covers:
- Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
- Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
- Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Montecito, CA
Who removes bat guano from an attic?
A guano removal service or cleanup team usually does this work. It involves containment, protective gear, careful removal and disinfecting. Wildlife professionals handle the animals themselves.
Will the smell go away after cleanup?
Often yes, once the guano and soaked materials are removed and the area is treated. Deep stains in wood or drywall may need extra treatment, and the crew can say what to expect.
What if droppings are on a roof or high ledge?
Roof and high ledge work needs fall protection and care around other people. Crews can remove and wash droppings there, and a property manager or owner can set up access.
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 Montecito Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
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.
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.
