Summers in Saugatuck are milder, with July highs around 85 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time. Older and newer buildings in Saugatuck both attract roosting animals, and attic guano is handled the same way: wet down, remove, bag and disinfect.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
Family members, tenants, staff and pets stay out while the crew plans the work and gets into protective equipment.
Guano is collected without sweeping or blowing, and bagged on site so it never crosses clean rooms.
Guano, soiled insulation and nesting debris are removed by hand or with HEPA-filtered tools and sealed in heavy bags.
Remaining surfaces are disinfected, and the ammonia-like odor is treated at its source.

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.
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.
Dry droppings turn to fine dust that floats in the air and can carry fungal spores. Sweeping or blowing sends that dust into the air where you breathe it. Wetting first keeps particles on the surface.
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.
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.
Tell the team what you found and it explains the next step.
