About 56% of homes in Denver were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. Westwood is on the drier side, with about 15 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 Westwood usually includes:
- Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
- Removal and disposal of insulation soaked with guano, urine and nesting debris
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Westwood, Denver, CO
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.
Why shouldn't guano be swept or blown?
Dry droppings turn to fine dust that floats in the air and can carry fungal spores. Sweeping or blowing sends that dust into the air where you breathe it. Wetting first keeps particles on the surface.
What rules apply to guano cleanup in Colorado?
Worker safety follows OSHA rules for hazardous dust, and waste disposal is handled according to local requirements. Rules about moving or excluding bats and other wildlife can vary by species and season, so check with a wildlife professional first.
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 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.
