About 57% of homes in Los Alamos were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. Summers in Los Alamos are milder, with July highs around 82 degrees, but guano in closed attics still dries and turns to fine dust over time.

A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:

Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup

The Bat and Bird Droppings Removal Process in Los Alamos

1. Find every deposit

Crews check roost sites, rafters, ledges and insulation, since droppings build up where animals return again and again.

2. Set up protection

Barriers and air controls go up, and the team wears protective gear before touching anything.

3. Remove what cannot be cleaned

Soiled insulation, stained cardboard and nesting debris go into sealed bags, and hard surfaces are scrubbed.

4. Final walkthrough

Odor and air are checked, and the owner is shown what was done and what remains for other trades.

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Los Alamos, NM

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.

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

Is it safe to stay home during guano cleanup?

For work in a sealed attic, many people stay in the home while crews work with containment. For heavy contamination or open spaces, it may be better to stay away. The team will say what is best for your situation.

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.

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.

How much does guano removal cost?

It depends on the size of the area, the depth of the deposit, how much insulation must come out and how hard the space is to reach. A small ledge costs less than a full attic. The team sets the price after seeing the space.
