Many homes in Redondo Beach, about 67%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. Summers in Redondo Beach are milder, with July highs around 76 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time.
The work often covers:
- Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
- Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
- Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Redondo Beach, CA
Can guano get into ductwork or vents?
Yes, if birds or bats roost near vents or intakes, droppings and dust can enter air paths. Cleanup may include treating vent openings and nearby surfaces.
How do I know if I have bats in my attic?
Common signs are dark droppings that crumble, stains on walls near gaps, a strong ammonia smell and squeaking or scratching at dusk and dawn. Droppings often collect in piles below entry points. A wildlife professional can confirm it.
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.
Can I clean a small amount of guano myself?
Sometimes. For a small spot, wear gloves, eye protection and a mask, wet the droppings lightly and wipe them up. Do not sweep or blow them dry. Thick, old or large deposits and attics are better left to a team.
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.
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 Redondo Beach Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
