North Hollywood is on the drier side, with about 14 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal. Many homes in Los Angeles, about 70%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
- Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
- Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in North Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA
How do you clean pigeon droppings safely?
Wet the droppings lightly, scrape them into a bag, then wash and disinfect the surface. Wear gloves, eye protection and a mask. Large roost areas, rooftops and enclosed spaces are best left to a team.
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.
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.
Is bird poop a biohazard?
Large amounts of bird droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can hold germs and fungal spores. A small spot outdoors is a simple wash. Thick buildup in a closed space needs protective gear and wet methods.
What rules apply to guano cleanup in California?
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.
