Summers in Del Rey are milder, with July highs around 78 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time. Many homes in Los Angeles, about 70%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell.
The work often covers:
- Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
- Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
How Guano Cleanup Works in Del Rey, Los Angeles, CA
2. Collect the droppings
Guano is collected without sweeping or blowing, and bagged on site so it never crosses clean rooms.
3. Remove what cannot be cleaned
Soiled insulation, stained cardboard and nesting debris go into sealed bags, and hard surfaces are scrubbed.
4. Sanitize and deodorize
Remaining surfaces are disinfected, and the ammonia-like odor is treated at its source.

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Del Rey, Los Angeles, CA
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.
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.
Can guano get into ductwork or vents?
Yes, if birds or bats roost near vents or intakes, droppings and dust can enter air paths. Cleanup may include treating vent openings and nearby surfaces.
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.
Do barns and old buildings need special handling?
Buildings with years of buildup can hold thick, dry, dusty guano that is easy to disturb. Crews ventilate, wet down and use respirators and containment to keep spores out of the air.
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.
