About 86% of homes in Kensington were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. With roughly 45 inches of annual rainfall in Kensington, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
- Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Kensington, NY
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.
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.
What is histoplasmosis?
Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil and droppings from birds and bats. People are exposed by breathing in spores. Many exposed people have no symptoms, and anyone who feels unwell after being around guano should tell a doctor.
Will the smell go away after cleanup?
Often yes, once the guano and soaked materials are removed and the area is treated. Deep stains in wood or drywall may need extra treatment, and the crew can say what to expect.
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.
What rules apply to guano cleanup in New York?
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.
