Many homes in Lewiston, about 66%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. Lewiston is on the drier side, with about 13 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal.

  • Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
  • Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
  • Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
  • Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
  • Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Lewiston, ID

How much does guano removal cost?

It depends on the size of the area, the depth of the deposit, how much insulation must come out and how hard the space is to reach. A small ledge costs less than a full attic. The team sets the price after seeing the space.

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.

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.

Who removes bat guano from an attic?

A guano removal service or cleanup team usually does this work. It involves containment, protective gear, careful removal and disinfecting. Wildlife professionals handle the animals themselves.

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.

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.
