About 64% of homes in Dexter were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. With roughly 45 inches of annual rainfall in Dexter, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
- 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
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
- Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
- Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Dexter
Why shouldn't guano be swept or blown?
Dry droppings turn to fine dust that floats in the air and can carry fungal spores. Sweeping or blowing sends that dust into the air where you breathe it. Wetting first keeps particles on the surface.
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 pigeon droppings damage a roof or building?
Yes. Droppings are acidic and can stain and wear down paint, metal and roofing over time. They also clog gutters and drains and create slip hazards on walkways. Cleanup and deterrents work best together.
Will insurance pay for guano cleanup?
Sometimes, but not always. Many homeowners policies exclude damage from animals that builds up over time, and wording differs. Call your insurer before work starts, take photos and keep receipts.
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.
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.
