Most housing in Milwaukee County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 8%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. Only about 34% of homes in Franklin were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in.

The work often covers:

Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris

How Guano Cleanup Works in Franklin, WI

1. Assess and isolate

The crew checks how far droppings spread, keeps people out and seals the work area so dust stays contained.

2. Set up protection

Barriers and air controls go up, and the team wears protective gear before touching anything.

3. Wet, scrape and clear

Droppings are wetted, scraped and collected, and insulation that cannot be cleaned is cut out and bagged.

4. Sanitize and deodorize

Remaining surfaces are disinfected, and the ammonia-like odor is treated at its source.

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Franklin, WI

How much does guano removal cost?

It depends on the size of the area, the depth of the deposit, how much insulation must come out and how hard the space is to reach. A small ledge costs less than a full attic. The team sets the price after seeing the space.

Is it safe to stay home during guano cleanup?

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.

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.

Do I need to replace attic insulation after guano?

Usually, if droppings or urine have soaked into it. Soiled insulation holds contamination and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. After removal, new insulation is installed as a separate job.

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.

Does guano damage insulation?

Yes. Insulation soaks up droppings, urine and odor and rarely comes back clean, so soiled insulation is usually removed and replaced. A team can tell you how far the damage goes after seeing the attic.
