Dundee gets about 53 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood. Older and newer buildings in Polk County both attract roosting animals, and attic guano is handled the same way: wet down, remove, bag and disinfect.

Family members, tenants, staff and pets stay out while the crew plans the work and gets into protective equipment.
Heavy or caked droppings are softened with a light mist so they can be lifted without raising dust.
Droppings are wetted, scraped and collected, and insulation that cannot be cleaned is cut out and bagged.
Odor and air are checked, and the owner is shown what was done and what remains for other trades.

Sometimes, but not always. Many homeowners policies exclude damage from animals that builds up over time, and wording differs. Call your insurer before work starts, take photos and keep receipts.
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.
Large amounts of bird droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can hold germs and fungal spores. A small spot outdoors is a simple wash. Thick buildup in a closed space needs protective gear and wet methods.
A guano removal service or cleanup team usually does this work. It involves containment, protective gear, careful removal and disinfecting. Wildlife professionals handle the animals themselves.
The odor comes from droppings and urine soaked into wood and insulation, so the fix is removing the source and treating surfaces. Air fresheners only cover it. Deep stains in wood may need extra treatment.
Tell the team what you found and it explains the next step.
