Bayou Gauche gets about 63 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood. Only about 36% of homes in St. Charles Parish were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
- Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
- Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
- 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
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Bayou Gauche, LA
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 Bayou Gauche Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
What if droppings are on a roof or high ledge?
Roof and high ledge work needs fall protection and care around other people. Crews can remove and wash droppings there, and a property manager or owner can set up access.
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.
How do I get rid of the guano smell?
The odor comes from droppings and urine soaked into wood and insulation, so the fix is removing the source and treating surfaces. Air fresheners only cover it. Deep stains in wood may need extra treatment.
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.
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.
