Bat Guano Removal in Hurley, NM Attics and Barns

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.

Once wildlife professionals have dealt with the animals, you can get guano cleanup in Hurley. The team removes droppings, soiled insulation and nesting debris, then treats odor. Reach out to Hurley Biohazard Cleanup Help in Grant County when the animals are gone.

With a vacancy rate of 23% in Grant County, unused structures often hold years of droppings by the time someone opens them up. Hurley 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:

Odor removal and deodorizing of ammonia-like smells left by droppings
Documentation of the work for buyers, inspectors, landlords and insurers
Cleanup of pigeon and bird droppings on roofs, ledges, balconies and rooftops
Containment and wet removal of bat guano from attics, wall voids and rafters
Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Hurley, NM

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.

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.

What is histoplasmosis?

Histoplasmosis is a lung infection linked to a fungus that can grow in soil and droppings from birds and bats. People are exposed by breathing in spores. Many exposed people have no symptoms, and anyone who feels unwell after being around guano should tell a doctor.

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

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.
