Only about 44% of homes in Salem Lakes were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in. Most housing in Kenosha County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 6%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years.

The work often covers:

Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters

How Guano Cleanup Works in Salem Lakes, WI

1. Assess and isolate

The crew checks how far droppings spread, keeps people out and seals the work area so dust stays contained.

2. Contain and suit up

Plastic barriers seal the work zone, and technicians put on respirators and disposable suits.

3. Take out contaminated material

Guano, matted insulation and nesting debris are packed out, and salvageable items are set aside for cleaning.

4. Clean the air and surfaces

HEPA filtration clears the air, surfaces are disinfected, and the owner is walked through the result.

What Salem Lakes Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

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 Salem Lakes Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

What rules apply to guano cleanup in Wisconsin?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Is bird poop a biohazard?

Large amounts of bird droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can hold germs and fungal spores. A small spot outdoors is a simple wash. Thick buildup in a closed space needs protective gear and wet methods.
