Moorpark is on the drier side, with about 12 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal. Most housing in Ventura County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 5%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
The crew checks for weak flooring, tight access and other hazards, then sets up lighting, protective gear and containment.
Guano is collected without sweeping or blowing, and bagged on site so it never crosses clean rooms.
Joists, rafters, ledges and walls are washed and disinfected, and stained areas are treated.
The space is disinfected, deodorized and inspected, and the crew explains what repairs or insulation work may follow.
