With roughly 41 inches of annual rainfall in Cherry Hill, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove. Only about 24% of homes in Prince William County 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:
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
- Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
- Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Cherry Hill
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.
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.
Who removes bat guano from an attic?
A guano removal service or cleanup team usually does this work. It involves containment, protective gear, careful removal and disinfecting. Wildlife professionals handle the animals themselves.
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.
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.
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.
