Most housing in Bellingham is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 5%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. At about 36 inches of rain a year in Bellingham, guano can be wet in some seasons and bone dry in others, and cleanup crews adjust how they control dust.
The work often covers:
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
- Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
What Happens During an Attic Guano Cleanup in Bellingham
2. Collect the droppings
Guano is collected without sweeping or blowing, and bagged on site so it never crosses clean rooms.
3. Remove what cannot be cleaned
Soiled insulation, stained cardboard and nesting debris go into sealed bags, and hard surfaces are scrubbed.
4. Document and hand back
The owner receives a summary of the work for buyers, inspectors or insurers, and the area is cleared for use.

What Bellingham Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
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.
How much does guano removal cost?
It depends on the size of the area, the depth of the deposit, how much insulation must come out and how hard the space is to reach. A small ledge costs less than a full attic. The team sets the price after seeing the space.
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.
Does guano cleanup stop bats or birds from coming back?
No. Cleanup removes the mess but does not block entry points. A wildlife professional can seal gaps and use deterrents. Removing droppings and odor does help, since scent can draw animals back.
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.
Who pays for guano cleanup in a rental?
It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.
