About 28% of housing in Tuolumne County is vacant, and empty buildings, barns and lofts give bats and birds quiet places to roost undisturbed. Rainfall in East Sonora averages about 33 inches a year. Whether droppings are damp or dry, they are not swept or blown, and cleanup follows the same containment steps.

How Guano Cleanup Works in East Sonora, CA
2. Wet down thick deposits
Heavy or caked droppings are softened with a light mist so they can be lifted without raising dust.
3. Take out contaminated material
Guano, matted insulation and nesting debris are packed out, and salvageable items are set aside for cleaning.
4. Disinfect and inspect
Wood, drywall and hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, odor is treated, and the crew checks the finished space.

What East Sonora Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
Should I remove the bats first or clean the guano first?
The animals come out first. Wildlife professionals handle exclusion, and rules about bats can vary by species, season and place. Cleanup follows once the space is no longer in use by animals.
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 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.
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.
Is bird poop a biohazard?
Large amounts of bird droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can hold germs and fungal spores. A small spot outdoors is a simple wash. Thick buildup in a closed space needs protective gear and wet methods.
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.
