Harahan gets about 65 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood. Most housing in Jefferson Parish is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 9%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years.
The work often covers:
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
- Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
- Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Harahan, LA
Can you get sick from bat droppings?
Yes, mainly from breathing in dust from dry droppings. Risk is higher with old, heavy buildup in enclosed spaces. People with asthma, lung conditions or weak immune systems need extra care and should stay out of the area.
Do barns and old buildings need special handling?
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.
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.
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.
What rules apply to guano cleanup in Louisiana?
Worker safety follows OSHA rules for hazardous dust, and waste disposal is handled according to local requirements. Rules about moving or excluding bats and other wildlife can vary by species and season, so check with a wildlife professional first.
What should I do first if I find guano?
Do not sweep, blow or vacuum it. Keep people and pets away and leave it undisturbed until you know the size of the job. Call Harahan Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
