Histoplasmosis-Aware Guano Removal in Red Wing and Goodhue County
Bat guano removal is the careful collection of bat droppings, usually from attics and wall voids, using wet methods and containment. It protects people from dust that can carry fungal spores.
Guano is a respiratory risk, so your Red Wing property gets containment, wet methods and protective gear, then disinfecting and inspection before the space is handed back to you. For Goodhue County owners, call Red Wing Biohazard Cleanup Help.
Many homes in Red Wing, about 63%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. Most housing in Goodhue County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 7%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years.

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Red Wing, MN
What should I do first if I find guano?
Do not sweep, blow or vacuum it. Keep people and pets away and leave it undisturbed until you know the size of the job. Call Red Wing Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
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.
Does guano cleanup stop bats or birds from coming back?
No. Cleanup removes the mess but does not block entry points. A wildlife professional can seal gaps and use deterrents. Removing droppings and odor does help, since scent can draw animals back.
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.
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.
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.
