Bird & Bat Guano Cleanup in Montrose, CO

Bird and Bat Guano Cleanup for Montrose, CO Homes and Businesses

Bat droppings cleanup includes more than the visible pile. Urine, staining and odor can soak into wood, drywall and insulation, which is why surrounding materials are checked and often removed.

If you are a homeowner, landlord or property manager in Montrose, CO, you can get bat and bird guano removal. Crews work at any hour in attics, lofts, rooftops, chimneys, balconies and warehouses across Montrose County. To start, call Montrose Biohazard Cleanup Help.

Montrose is on the drier side, with about 9 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal. Whatever the vacancy rate in Montrose County, any property closed for a long time should be aired out first, and heavy guano should be handled with containment.

The work often covers:

  • Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
  • Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
  • HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
  • Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures
  • Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Montrose

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.

Should I remove the bats first or clean the guano first?

The animals come out first. Wildlife professionals handle exclusion, and rules about bats can vary by species, season and place. Cleanup follows once the space is no longer in use by animals.

Is bird poop a biohazard?

Large amounts of bird droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can hold germs and fungal spores. A small spot outdoors is a simple wash. Thick buildup in a closed space needs protective gear and wet methods.

How do you clean pigeon droppings safely?

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.

Can I clean a small amount of guano myself?

Sometimes. For a small spot, wear gloves, eye protection and a mask, wet the droppings lightly and wipe them up. Do not sweep or blow them dry. Thick, old or large deposits and attics are better left to a team.

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.
