Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters

What Happens During an Attic Guano Cleanup in Haleiwa

1. Call and describe

The team asks where droppings were found, how thick they are and whether bats or birds are still using the space.

2. Suppress the dust

Technicians put on respirators and suits, then lightly wet the guano to keep fine particles from rising.

3. Remove and disinfect

Guano and soiled materials are taken out, and framing, floors and hard surfaces are cleaned and treated.

The space is disinfected, deodorized and inspected, and the crew explains what repairs or insulation work may follow.

What Haleiwa Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

How do I get rid of the guano smell?

The odor comes from droppings and urine soaked into wood and insulation, so the fix is removing the source and treating surfaces. Air fresheners only cover it. Deep stains in wood may need extra treatment.

Is it safe to stay home during guano cleanup?

For work in a sealed attic, many people stay in the home while crews work with containment. For heavy contamination or open spaces, it may be better to stay away. The team will say what is best for your situation.

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

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.

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 rules apply to guano cleanup in Hawaii?

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.
