About 21% of housing in Lake Charles is vacant, and empty buildings, barns and lofts give bats and birds quiet places to roost undisturbed. Lake Charles gets about 60 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood.
The work often covers:
- Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
- Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
- Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters

What Lake Charles Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
Does guano damage insulation?
Yes. Insulation soaks up droppings, urine and odor and rarely comes back clean, so soiled insulation is usually removed and replaced. A team can tell you how far the damage goes after seeing the attic.
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.
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.
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.
Do barns and old buildings need special handling?
Buildings with years of buildup can hold thick, dry, dusty guano that is easy to disturb. Crews ventilate, wet down and use respirators and containment to keep spores out of the air.
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 Lake Charles Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
