Mission Bay is on the drier side, with about 21 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal. Many homes in San Francisco, about 76%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell.
The work often covers:
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
- Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
- Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
- Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Mission Bay
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.
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.
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 Mission Bay Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
Can guano get into ductwork or vents?
Yes, if birds or bats roost near vents or intakes, droppings and dust can enter air paths. Cleanup may include treating vent openings and nearby surfaces.
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.
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.
