Most housing in Portland is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 6%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. Summers in Cathedral Park are milder, with July highs around 80 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time.

The work often covers:

  • Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
  • Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
  • Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
  • Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
  • Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters

The Bat and Bird Droppings Removal Process in Cathedral Park

1. Find every deposit

Crews check roost sites, rafters, ledges and insulation, since droppings build up where animals return again and again.

2. Hold the dust down

Moisture and containment keep spores and particles from becoming airborne during removal.

3. Remove and bag

Guano, soiled insulation and nesting debris are removed by hand or with HEPA-filtered tools and sealed in heavy bags.

4. Final walkthrough

Odor and air are checked, and the owner is shown what was done and what remains for other trades.

What Cathedral Park Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

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

Will insurance pay for guano cleanup?

Sometimes, but not always. Many homeowners policies exclude damage from animals that builds up over time, and wording differs. Call your insurer before work starts, take photos and keep receipts.

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.

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.

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.

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.
