About 56% of homes in Coats were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. With roughly 50 inches of annual rainfall in Coats, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove.

Family members, tenants, staff and pets stay out while the crew plans the work and gets into protective equipment.

Soiled insulation, stained cardboard and nesting debris go into sealed bags, and hard surfaces are scrubbed.
The owner receives a summary of the work for buyers, inspectors or insurers, and the area is cleared for use.

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.
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.
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 Coats Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
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.
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.
