Bat Guano Cleanup & Attic Restoration
The Critter Squad Inc. provides bat guano cleanup and attic restoration across the Kenai Peninsula. Getting the colony out does not remove what it left behind. Guano, urine-soaked insulation and staining keep the odor in the house and the scent trail on the building. Cleanup and restoration close the job out.

More About Bat Guano Cleanup & Attic Restoration
Why Cleanup Is a Separate Job
Once the colony is out and the building is sealed, whatever the bats left behind is still in the attic. Guano accumulation, urine-soaked insulation and staining on framing are what keep a house smelling like a roost long after the animals are gone.
We remove contaminated insulation rather than spot clean around it, treat surfaces, and replace insulation to the depth the attic calls for so the space performs again through an Alaska winter.
Handling Guano Safely
Dry guano breaks up and becomes airborne when disturbed, and an attic connected to the air handler will move that dust into the living space. This is work for people with proper respiratory protection, containment and disposal, not a shop vac on a Saturday.
- Containment set up before any material is disturbed
- Bagged removal of contaminated insulation and guano
- Cleaning and treatment of framing, sheathing and roost surfaces
- Odor neutralization to break the scent trail that draws bats back
- Insulation replaced to appropriate depth
Bat Guano Cleanup & Attic Restoration FAQ
Do I have to replace all the insulation?+
Not always. If contamination is limited to the bays under the roost points, we remove and replace those areas and show you photos before deciding.
Will the smell go away?+
Yes, once contaminated material is out and surfaces are treated. Lingering odor almost always means material was left behind.
Can cleanup happen before the bats are excluded?+
No. Cleaning an occupied roost just means doing it twice.
Is bat guano dangerous?+
Treat it as a contamination hazard: use proper respiratory protection and containment, and do not disturb accumulations without them. If anyone has had direct contact with a bat, contact your health provider.
