Most housing in Hawthorne is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 4%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. Hawthorne is on the drier side, with about 12 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal.
Bird & Bat Guano Cleanup in Hawthorne usually includes:
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
- 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

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Hawthorne
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.
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.
Who removes bat guano from an attic?
A guano removal service or cleanup team usually does this work. It involves containment, protective gear, careful removal and disinfecting. Wildlife professionals handle the animals themselves.
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.
Why shouldn't guano be swept or blown?
Dry droppings turn to fine dust that floats in the air and can carry fungal spores. Sweeping or blowing sends that dust into the air where you breathe it. Wetting first keeps particles on the surface.
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.
