Most housing in Cowlitz County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 5%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years.

Wood, drywall and hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, odor is treated, and the crew checks the finished space.

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.
It can be. Dry guano releases fine dust, and some bird and bat droppings can carry a fungus linked to histoplasmosis, a lung infection. Many people never get sick, but older, heavy deposits carry more risk. Avoid stirring it up.
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.
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.
Call (877) 812-4220 any hour and describe where the droppings are.
