Histoplasmosis-Aware Guano Removal in Coushatta and Red River Parish
An attic guano cleanup removes droppings from joists, beams and insulation, and treats the structure afterward. Insulation soaked with guano is usually discarded because it holds odor and contamination.
When bats or birds leave droppings on your property in Coushatta, you get a crew that wets down and contains the material before removal. The team bags it, disinfects the area and checks the finished work. For Red River Parish jobs, call Coushatta Biohazard Cleanup Help.
About 68% of homes in Coushatta were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. With roughly 57 inches of annual rainfall in Coushatta, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
- Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
- 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
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Coushatta
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.
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.
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.
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 you clean pigeon droppings safely?
Wet the droppings lightly, scrape them into a bag, then wash and disinfect the surface. Wear gloves, eye protection and a mask. Large roost areas, rooftops and enclosed spaces are best left to a team.
