Many homes in Metzger, about 63%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. Summers in Metzger are milder, with July highs around 82 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time.

From Thick Droppings to a Sanitized Space in Metzger, OR

1. Find every deposit

Crews check roost sites, rafters, ledges and insulation, since droppings build up where animals return again and again.

2. Wet down thick deposits

Heavy or caked droppings are softened with a light mist so they can be lifted without raising dust.

3. Wet, scrape and clear

Droppings are wetted, scraped and collected, and insulation that cannot be cleaned is cut out and bagged.

4. Sanitize and deodorize

Remaining surfaces are disinfected, and the ammonia-like odor is treated at its source.

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Metzger

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.

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.

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.

Can you get sick from bat droppings?

Yes, mainly from breathing in dust from dry droppings. Risk is higher with old, heavy buildup in enclosed spaces. People with asthma, lung conditions or weak immune systems need extra care and should stay out of the area.

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.

Does guano cleanup stop bats or birds from coming back?

No. Cleanup removes the mess but does not block entry points. A wildlife professional can seal gaps and use deterrents. Removing droppings and odor does help, since scent can draw animals back.
