Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in Hubbard Farms, Detroit, MI
Guano contamination cleanup treats droppings as hazardous dust. Crews wear respirators and protective suits, control airflow and clean in stages rather than sweeping or blowing material around.

Summers in Hubbard Farms are milder, with July highs around 84 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time. Many homes in Detroit, about 90%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell.
What bird & bat guano cleanup covers:
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup

What Hubbard Farms Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
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.
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.
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.
What rules apply to guano cleanup in Michigan?
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.
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 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.
