Many homes in Monticello, about 59%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. Monticello 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.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
- Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
- 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
- Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Monticello, FL
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.
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.
What rules apply to guano cleanup in Florida?
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.
Can pigeon droppings damage a roof or building?
Yes. Droppings are acidic and can stain and wear down paint, metal and roofing over time. They also clog gutters and drains and create slip hazards on walkways. Cleanup and deterrents work best together.
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.
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.
