About 50% of homes in College were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. College 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.
The work often covers:
Crews check roost sites, rafters, ledges and insulation, since droppings build up where animals return again and again.
Technicians put on respirators and suits, then lightly wet the guano to keep fine particles from rising.
Guano, matted insulation and nesting debris are packed out, and salvageable items are set aside for cleaning.
HEPA filtration clears the air, surfaces are disinfected, and the owner is walked through the result.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Wet the droppings lightly, scrape them into a bag, then wash and disinfect the surface. Wear gloves, eye protection and a mask. Large roost areas, rooftops and enclosed spaces are best left to a team.
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.
