A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
Family members, tenants, staff and pets stay out while the crew plans the work and gets into protective equipment.

Guano, soiled insulation and nesting debris are removed by hand or with HEPA-filtered tools and sealed in heavy bags.
Wood, drywall and hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, odor is treated, and the crew checks the finished space.
