Lake View gets about 56 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood. Only about 35% of homes in Tuscaloosa County were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in.
The work often covers:
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
- Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Lake View, AL
Can I clean a small amount of guano myself?
Sometimes. For a small spot, wear gloves, eye protection and a mask, wet the droppings lightly and wipe them up. Do not sweep or blow them dry. Thick, old or large deposits and attics are better left to a team.
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.
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.
What rules apply to guano cleanup in Alabama?
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.
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.
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.
