Pigeon and Bird Droppings Cleanup in Fairfax, Colorado Springs, 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.

Most housing in Colorado Springs is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 4%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years. Fairfax is on the drier side, with about 16 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:
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
- Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
- Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Fairfax
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.
What if droppings are on a roof or high ledge?
Roof and high ledge work needs fall protection and care around other people. Crews can remove and wash droppings there, and a property manager or owner can set up access.
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.
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.
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.
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.
