About 76% of homes in Raton were built before 1980, and older attics, vents and rooflines often have gaps where bats and birds can enter. With a vacancy rate of 20% in Raton, unused structures often hold years of droppings by the time someone opens them up.

What bird & bat guano cleanup covers:

  • Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
  • Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
  • Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
  • Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
  • Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers

The Bat and Bird Droppings Removal Process in Raton

1. Assess and isolate

The crew checks how far droppings spread, keeps people out and seals the work area so dust stays contained.

2. Collect the droppings

Guano is collected without sweeping or blowing, and bagged on site so it never crosses clean rooms.

3. Take out contaminated material

Guano, matted insulation and nesting debris are packed out, and salvageable items are set aside for cleaning.

4. Treat and verify

The space is disinfected, deodorized and inspected, and the crew explains what repairs or insulation work may follow.

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Raton

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Can you get sick from bat droppings?

Yes, mainly from breathing in dust from dry droppings. Risk is higher with old, heavy buildup in enclosed spaces. People with asthma, lung conditions or weak immune systems need extra care and should stay out of the area.
