Bird and Bat Guano Cleanup for East Village, Detroit, MI Homes and Businesses
Pigeon droppings removal is the cleaning of heavy, caked droppings from structures where birds roost. It can involve scraping, washing, disinfecting and sometimes removal of nests and feathers.

Summers in East Village are milder, with July highs around 84 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time. About 90% of homes in Detroit were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter.

Odor and air are checked, and the owner is shown what was done and what remains for other trades.

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in East Village, Detroit, MI
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.
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.
Is it safe to stay home during guano cleanup?
For work in a sealed attic, many people stay in the home while crews work with containment. For heavy contamination or open spaces, it may be better to stay away. The team will say what is best for your situation.
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 East Village Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
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.
Who pays for guano cleanup in a rental?
It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.
