If you’ve ever had an animal trapped in your attic, you know what a mess they can leave behind! Raccoons can defecate and urinate in attics leaving ringworm behind. Bats will also leave their guano behind that can carry Histoplasma which could cause Histoplasmosis.

At North Shore Wildlife, we perform attic cleanouts for bat guano as well as other animal feces, along with removal of insulation. First, we vacuum up the feces using a HEPA vac and apply D.S.V. (Disinfectant, Sanitizer, Virucide), a product we use to disinfect, sanitize, and deodorize the wood in the attic. If contaminated, we will remove the affected insulation.
