Many homes in Spurgeon, about 54%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. With roughly 44 inches of annual rainfall in Spurgeon, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove.

What bird & bat guano cleanup covers:

  • Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
  • Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
  • Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
  • Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
  • Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Spurgeon, TN

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

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.

What rules apply to guano cleanup in Tennessee?

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.

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.
