Lewiston gets about 45 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood. Many homes in Lewiston, about 80%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell.
The work often covers:
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
- Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
- Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
- Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Lewiston, ME
Who removes bat guano from an attic?
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.
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.
Will insurance pay for guano cleanup?
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.
Who pays for guano cleanup in a rental?
It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.
What if droppings are on a roof or high ledge?
Roof and high ledge work needs fall protection and care around other people. Crews can remove and wash droppings there, and a property manager or owner can set up access.
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.
