Only about 27% of homes in Rankin County were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in. A July high of 92 degrees in Florence affects how fast guano dries and how strong the ammonia smell gets in a closed attic.
The work often covers:
- Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
- Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
- Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Florence, MS
What rules apply to guano cleanup in Mississippi?
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.
Do I need to replace attic insulation after guano?
Usually, if droppings or urine have soaked into it. Soiled insulation holds contamination and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. After removal, new insulation is installed as a separate job.
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.
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.
How do I know if I have bats in my attic?
Common signs are dark droppings that crumble, stains on walls near gaps, a strong ammonia smell and squeaking or scratching at dusk and dawn. Droppings often collect in piles below entry points. A wildlife professional can confirm it.
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.
