Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in Lincoln, DE
Guano cleanup is the safe removal of bird and bat droppings from attics, barns, chimneys, roofs and ledges, along with soiled insulation, then disinfection of the affected area. Dust control is built into every step.
If you are a homeowner, landlord or property manager in Lincoln, DE, you can get bat and bird guano removal. Crews work at any hour in attics, lofts, rooftops, chimneys, balconies and warehouses across Sussex County. To start, call Lincoln Biohazard Cleanup Help.
About 30% of housing in Sussex County is vacant, and empty buildings, barns and lofts give bats and birds quiet places to roost undisturbed. With roughly 46 inches of annual rainfall in Lincoln, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove.
The work often covers:
- Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
- Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
- Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures

What Lincoln Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
