Many homes in Wahkiakum County, about 52%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. Puget Island gets about 104 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
The crew checks for weak flooring, tight access and other hazards, then sets up lighting, protective gear and containment.
Guano is collected without sweeping or blowing, and bagged on site so it never crosses clean rooms.
Soiled insulation, stained cardboard and nesting debris go into sealed bags, and hard surfaces are scrubbed.
Odor and air are checked, and the owner is shown what was done and what remains for other trades.

Large amounts of bird droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can hold germs and fungal spores. A small spot outdoors is a simple wash. Thick buildup in a closed space needs protective gear and wet methods.
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.
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.
