Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in Parkrose, Portland, OR
Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil enriched by droppings from birds and bats. Guano cleanup is designed to keep those spores from being breathed in.

Most housing in Portland is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 6%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. With roughly 44 inches of annual rainfall in Parkrose, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
- Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
- Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings

What Parkrose Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
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.
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.
What rules apply to guano cleanup in Oregon?
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.
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.
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.
How do you clean pigeon droppings safely?
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.
