Bird & Bat Guano Cleanup in Sunnyside, Denver, CO

Bat Guano Removal in Sunnyside, Denver, CO Attics and Barns

Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil enriched by droppings from birds and bats. Guano cleanup is designed to keep those spores from being breathed in.

Found guano in a hard or unsafe place to reach in Sunnyside? People in Denver County call Sunnyside Biohazard Cleanup Help and get a cleanup team that works discreetly, explains each step and sorts what you can keep from what must be discarded.

Sunnyside is on the drier side, with about 15 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal. About 56% of homes in Denver were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter.

What bird & bat guano cleanup covers:

Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Sunnyside, Denver, CO

Can you get sick from bat droppings?

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.

Why shouldn't guano be swept or blown?

Dry droppings turn to fine dust that floats in the air and can carry fungal spores. Sweeping or blowing sends that dust into the air where you breathe it. Wetting first keeps particles on the surface.

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.

Will the smell go away after cleanup?

Often yes, once the guano and soaked materials are removed and the area is treated. Deep stains in wood or drywall may need extra treatment, and the crew can say what to expect.

What should I do first if I find guano?

Do not sweep, blow or vacuum it. Keep people and pets away and leave it undisturbed until you know the size of the job. Call Sunnyside Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

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.
