July highs near 97 degrees in Somerville bake attics and rooftops, drying guano into dust and making odors stronger, so crews wet it down before removal. Many homes in Somerville, about 64%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell.
What bird & bat guano cleanup covers:
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
- Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
- Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats

Guano, matted insulation and nesting debris are packed out, and salvageable items are set aside for cleaning.

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Somerville, TX
Can pigeon droppings damage a roof or building?
Yes. Droppings are acidic and can stain and wear down paint, metal and roofing over time. They also clog gutters and drains and create slip hazards on walkways. Cleanup and deterrents work best together.
What rules apply to guano cleanup in Texas?
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
