How Guano Cleanup Works in Downtown, Colorado Springs, CO

1. Keep everyone away

Family members, tenants, staff and pets stay out while the crew plans the work and gets into protective equipment.

2. Wet down thick deposits

Heavy or caked droppings are softened with a light mist so they can be lifted without raising dust.

3. Take out contaminated material

Guano, matted insulation and nesting debris are packed out, and salvageable items are set aside for cleaning.

4. Document and hand back

The owner receives a summary of the work for buyers, inspectors or insurers, and the area is cleared for use.

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Downtown, Colorado Springs, CO

Do I need to replace attic insulation after guano?

Usually, if droppings or urine have soaked into it. Soiled insulation holds contamination and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. After removal, new insulation is installed as a separate job.

Is guano dangerous?

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.

How much does guano removal cost?

It depends on the size of the area, the depth of the deposit, how much insulation must come out and how hard the space is to reach. A small ledge costs less than a full attic. The team sets the price after seeing the space.

What rules apply to guano cleanup in Colorado?

Worker safety follows OSHA rules for hazardous dust, and waste disposal is handled according to local requirements. Rules about moving or excluding bats and other wildlife can vary by species and season, so check with a wildlife professional first.

What is histoplasmosis?

Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil and droppings from birds and bats. People are exposed by breathing in spores. Many exposed people have no symptoms, and anyone who feels unwell after being around guano should tell a doctor.

How do I get rid of the guano smell?

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.

Pigeon droppings piling up in El Paso County?

Do not sweep or blow. A cleanup team can plan the safe way to remove them.
