Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in Littleton, 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.
When bats or birds leave droppings on your property in Littleton, you get a crew that wets down and contains the material before removal. The team bags it, disinfects the area and checks the finished work. For Arapahoe County jobs, call Littleton Biohazard Cleanup Help.
Most housing in Littleton is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 5%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. Littleton is on the drier side, with about 17 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal.
Bird & Bat Guano Cleanup in Littleton usually includes:
- Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
- Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
- Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Littleton, CO
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.
Will insurance pay for guano cleanup?
Sometimes, but not always. Many homeowners policies exclude damage from animals that builds up over time, and wording differs. Call your insurer before work starts, take photos and keep receipts.
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.
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.
Does guano damage insulation?
Yes. Insulation soaks up droppings, urine and odor and rarely comes back clean, so soiled insulation is usually removed and replaced. A team can tell you how far the damage goes after seeing the attic.
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.
