Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in Falmouth, ME
Pigeon droppings removal is the cleaning of heavy, caked droppings from structures where birds roost. It can involve scraping, washing, disinfecting and sometimes removal of nests and feathers.
Guano is a respiratory risk, so your Falmouth property gets containment, wet methods and protective gear, then disinfecting and inspection before the space is handed back to you. For Cumberland County owners, call Falmouth Biohazard Cleanup Help.
Falmouth gets about 48 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood. About 65% of homes in Falmouth were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter.
What bird & bat guano cleanup covers:
- Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures

- Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters

What Falmouth Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
Can you get sick from bat droppings?
Yes, mainly from breathing in dust from dry droppings. Risk is higher with old, heavy buildup in enclosed spaces. People with asthma, lung conditions or weak immune systems need extra care and should stay out of the area.
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.
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.
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.
Should I remove the bats first or clean the guano first?
The animals come out first. Wildlife professionals handle exclusion, and rules about bats can vary by species, season and place. Cleanup follows once the space is no longer in use by animals.
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.
