Wildlife Problem
Found Droppings in Your Home?
Droppings in an attic, crawlspace, garage, barn, or wall void can point to bats, raccoons, squirrels, birds, skunks, rodents, or other wildlife activity. Borland Wildlife Solutions helps Nebraska property owners identify the source, stop the intrusion, and address contamination safely.
The location, amount, and appearance of droppings can offer clues, but they do not tell the full story on their own. Wildlife waste is often tied to active entry points, nesting material, odor, staining, and hidden damage inside the structure.
Droppings are often the visible sign of a larger wildlife entry or contamination issue.
Borland Wildlife Solutions
If you are seeing fresh droppings around your property, the right next step is to identify the animal, stop access, and then decide whether cleanup, exclusion, repair, or restoration is needed.
Symptoms
What Droppings Can Mean
The size, shape, location, and amount of droppings can help narrow down what animal is active on your property. The problem is that droppings rarely stay isolated. They often come with urine, nesting debris, odor, and hidden entry points.
Attic Droppings
Small pellets in insulation or along attic pathways may point to bats, squirrels, mice, or other animals using the space above your ceiling.
Garage or Barn Droppings
Droppings on ledges, equipment, or stored materials can indicate birds, raccoons, bats, or other wildlife taking shelter indoors.
Deck or Crawlspace Droppings
Concentrated waste under structures may be tied to skunks, raccoons, opossums, or other animals denning close to the home.
Exterior Evidence
Droppings near siding, rooflines, vents, or entry holes often signal an active route in and out of the structure that needs to be addressed.

Droppings FAQ
Common questions from Nebraska property owners dealing with wildlife waste and contamination concerns.
Can droppings tell me what animal I have?
Sometimes, but not always. Size, shape, location, and quantity can offer clues, but multiple species can leave similar evidence. A full inspection is the best way to confirm the source.
Are wildlife droppings dangerous?
They can be. Droppings may contain bacteria, fungal spores, parasites, or other contaminants. Avoid sweeping or disturbing large accumulations without proper precautions.
Should I clean droppings before the animal is gone?
Usually no. If the entry point is still active, new contamination can return quickly. It is better to identify the animal, stop access, and then address cleanup.
What if the droppings are in my attic insulation?
That can indicate a larger contamination issue, especially if urine and nesting material are also present. Borland can evaluate the extent of the problem and recommend next steps.
Do droppings always mean I need full restoration?
Not always. Some situations need only targeted cleanup, while others require more extensive restoration. The right scope depends on the species, duration, and affected materials.
Can I buy products if I am not ready for service?
Yes. If a product-based solution makes sense for your situation, use the shop page for available wildlife products. For active structure intrusions, professional help is often the better path.
Do Not Ignore Droppings
