About 65% of homes in Simmesport were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. With roughly 62 inches of annual rainfall in Simmesport, roof leaks and humid attics are common, and moisture makes droppings heavier and harder to remove.
The work often covers:
- Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
- Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
- Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Simmesport, LA
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 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.
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 Simmesport Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
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.
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.
Will the smell go away after cleanup?
Often yes, once the guano and soaked materials are removed and the area is treated. Deep stains in wood or drywall may need extra treatment, and the crew can say what to expect.
