Idaho Falls 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 Idaho Falls, about 55%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell.
The work often covers:
- Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
- Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup

What Idaho Falls Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
