About 53% of homes in Seattle were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. Summers in Seaview are milder, with July highs around 77 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time.
The work often covers:
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
- Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
- Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Seaview, Seattle, WA
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 is histoplasmosis?
Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil and droppings from birds and bats. People are exposed by breathing in spores. Many exposed people have no symptoms, and anyone who feels unwell after being around guano should tell a doctor.
Can I clean a small amount of guano myself?
Sometimes. For a small spot, wear gloves, eye protection and a mask, wet the droppings lightly and wipe them up. Do not sweep or blow them dry. Thick, old or large deposits and attics are better left to a team.
What rules apply to guano cleanup in Washington?
Worker safety follows OSHA rules for hazardous dust, and waste disposal is handled according to local requirements. Rules about moving or excluding bats and other wildlife can vary by species and season, so check with a wildlife professional first.
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.
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.
