Only about 33% of homes in Sorrento were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in. With roughly 63 inches of annual rainfall in Sorrento, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove.
The work often covers:
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
- Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
- Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
- Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Sorrento
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.
Is guano dangerous?
It can be. Dry guano releases fine dust, and some bird and bat droppings can carry a fungus linked to histoplasmosis, a lung infection. Many people never get sick, but older, heavy deposits carry more risk. Avoid stirring it up.
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.
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.
What rules apply to guano cleanup in Louisiana?
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.
