Histoplasmosis-Aware Guano Removal in East Colfax and Denver County
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.
You can call East Colfax Biohazard Cleanup Help about guano cleanup in East Colfax, Denver, CO at any hour. The team looks at how far droppings spread, then takes care of removal and decontamination, and can talk through your insurance and landlord questions in Denver County.
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. East Colfax 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.
A typical bird & bat guano cleanup job includes:
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
- Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
- Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
- Commercial guano cleanup on warehouses, storefronts, loading docks and parking structures

3. Remove and disinfect

What East Colfax Property Owners Ask About Guano and Histoplasmosis
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
