Bat droppings cleanup includes more than the visible pile. Urine, staining and odor can soak into wood, drywall and insulation, which is why surrounding materials are checked and often removed.

Pelham gets about 50 inches of rain a year, and damp air keeps guano and soaked insulation wet, which strengthens odors and encourages mold on wood. About 90% of homes in Pelham were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter.
