Droppings are wetted, scraped and collected, and insulation that cannot be cleaned is cut out and bagged.
Remaining surfaces are disinfected, and the ammonia-like odor is treated at its source.

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.
Wet the droppings lightly, scrape them into a bag, then wash and disinfect the surface. Wear gloves, eye protection and a mask. Large roost areas, rooftops and enclosed spaces are best left to a team.
The odor comes from droppings and urine soaked into wood and insulation, so the fix is removing the source and treating surfaces. Air fresheners only cover it. Deep stains in wood may need extra treatment.
Do not sweep or blow. A cleanup team can plan the safe way to remove them.
