Bat Cleanup

A customer in Milner, GA recently found droppings on the air conditioner outside his home and also heard screeching sounds from upstairs.  Our team found bats in the gable vents of the house.  A water-hot sauce mixture was used to run the bats out of the house and the gable vents were sealed from the outside.  We then gave the guano, or bat excrement, about three weeks to dry out.  At that time, all of the guano and contaminated insulation was removed and new insulation was placed.

New insulation and no more contamination.  Great job, Chris Jones!

Bat droppings can carry a fungus known to cause Histoplasmosis, which primarily affects the lungs.  It is important to take the right precautions when cleaning up guano, such as wearing a respirator, coveralls, gloves, and goggles.  Because of the health risks posed by guano, do not attempt to clean it yourself.  If you find you have bats, give the experts at Mid-Georgia Pest Control a call!
