Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in Fairbanks, AK

Bat droppings cleanup includes more than the visible pile. Urine, staining and odor can soak into wood, drywall and insulation, which is why surrounding materials are checked and often removed.

Many homes in Fairbanks, about 51%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. Summers in Fairbanks are milder, with July highs around 73 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time.

  • Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
  • Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
  • Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
  • Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products

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

Guano, soiled insulation and nesting debris are removed by hand or with HEPA-filtered tools and sealed in heavy bags.

What Fairbanks Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

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.

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.

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 Fairbanks Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

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.

Does guano cleanup stop bats or birds from coming back?

No. Cleanup removes the mess but does not block entry points. A wildlife professional can seal gaps and use deterrents. Removing droppings and odor does help, since scent can draw animals back.

How do I know if I have bats in my attic?

Common signs are dark droppings that crumble, stains on walls near gaps, a strong ammonia smell and squeaking or scratching at dusk and dawn. Droppings often collect in piles below entry points. A wildlife professional can confirm it.
