Pigeon and Bird Droppings Cleanup in Lakewood, CO

Bird droppings cleanup covers pigeon, starling and sparrow droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies, rafters and rooftops. Dry droppings can turn to fine dust, so they are wetted before they are scraped and bagged.

You can call Lakewood Biohazard Cleanup Help about guano cleanup in Lakewood, CO at any hour. The team looks at how far droppings spread, then takes care of removal and decontamination, and can talk through your insurance and landlord questions in Jefferson County.

Many homes in Lakewood, about 56%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and hold the smell. Lakewood is on the drier side, with about 18 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal.

A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:

  • Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
  • Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
  • Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
  • Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
  • Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal

The Bat and Bird Droppings Removal Process in Lakewood

1. Assess and isolate

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

2. Wet down thick deposits

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

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. Treat and verify

The space is disinfected, deodorized and inspected, and the crew explains what repairs or insulation work may follow.

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Lakewood

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

Does guano cleanup stop bats or birds from coming back?

No. Cleanup removes the mess but does not block entry points. A wildlife professional can seal gaps and use deterrents. Removing droppings and odor does help, since scent can draw animals back.

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.

How do I know if I have bats in my attic?

Common signs are dark droppings that crumble, stains on walls near gaps, a strong ammonia smell and squeaking or scratching at dusk and dawn. Droppings often collect in piles below entry points. A wildlife professional can confirm it.

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.

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.
