Bird & Bat Guano Cleanup in Julesburg, CO

Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in Julesburg, CO

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.

Need residential or commercial guano cleanup in Julesburg or nearby parts of Sedgwick County? You can get help with attics, crawl spaces, barns, rooftops, silos and storage rooms. Why Choose Julesburg Biohazard Cleanup Help? You make one call.

About 16% of housing in Sedgwick County is vacant, and empty buildings, barns and lofts give bats and birds quiet places to roost undisturbed. About 80% of homes in Julesburg were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter.

The work often covers:

Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters

Step by Step: Safe Guano Removal in Julesburg, CO

1. Assess and isolate

The crew checks how far droppings spread, keeps people out and seals the work area so dust stays contained.

2. Collect the droppings

Guano is collected without sweeping or blowing, and bagged on site so it never crosses clean rooms.

3. Remove and bag

Guano, soiled insulation and nesting debris are removed by hand or with HEPA-filtered tools and sealed in heavy bags.

4. Sanitize and deodorize

Remaining surfaces are disinfected, and the ammonia-like odor is treated at its source.

What Julesburg Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis

Can pigeon droppings damage a roof or building?

Yes. Droppings are acidic and can stain and wear down paint, metal and roofing over time. They also clog gutters and drains and create slip hazards on walkways. Cleanup and deterrents work best together.

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.

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.

Who pays for guano cleanup in a rental?

It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.

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 Julesburg Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
