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. Ivywild 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:
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
- Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
- Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Ivywild, Colorado Springs, CO
How do you clean pigeon droppings safely?
Wet the droppings lightly, scrape them into a bag, then wash and disinfect the surface. Wear gloves, eye protection and a mask. Large roost areas, rooftops and enclosed spaces are best left to a team.
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.
Who removes bat guano from an attic?
A guano removal service or cleanup team usually does this work. It involves containment, protective gear, careful removal and disinfecting. Wildlife professionals handle the animals themselves.
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.
Do barns and old buildings need special handling?
Buildings with years of buildup can hold thick, dry, dusty guano that is easy to disturb. Crews ventilate, wet down and use respirators and containment to keep spores out of the air.
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.
