Most housing in Terrebonne Parish is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 11%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. Bourg gets about 65 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
- Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
- Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved

What Bourg Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
How do I know if I have bats in my attic?
Common signs are dark droppings that crumble, stains on walls near gaps, a strong ammonia smell and squeaking or scratching at dusk and dawn. Droppings often collect in piles below entry points. A wildlife professional can confirm it.
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.
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.
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.
Will the smell go away after cleanup?
Often yes, once the guano and soaked materials are removed and the area is treated. Deep stains in wood or drywall may need extra treatment, and the crew can say what to expect.
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.
