Summers in Parkmerced are milder, with July highs around 62 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time. About 76% of homes in San Francisco were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter.
The work often covers:
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
- Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Parkmerced
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.
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.
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.
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.
What is histoplasmosis?
Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil and droppings from birds and bats. People are exposed by breathing in spores. Many exposed people have no symptoms, and anyone who feels unwell after being around guano should tell a doctor.
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.
