Cleaning Up After Bats and Birds in Las Cruces, NM
An attic guano cleanup removes droppings from joists, beams and insulation, and treats the structure afterward. Insulation soaked with guano is usually discarded because it holds odor and contamination.
If your home, barn, church or business in Las Cruces or elsewhere in Doña Ana County has guano problems, you can get guano cleanup. A cleanup team works in respirators and protective suits and follows workplace safety rules for hazardous dust. Call Las Cruces Biohazard Cleanup Help to begin.
Las Cruces is on the drier side, with about 9 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal. Only about 34% of homes in Las Cruces were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in.
What bird & bat guano cleanup covers:
- Cleanup after wildlife exclusion, once bats or birds have been removed by a professional
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
- Removal of nests, feathers and carcasses left by birds or bats
- Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
- Disinfection of wood framing, joists and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products

Bat and Bird Droppings Questions Answered in Las Cruces
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.
Is bird poop a biohazard?
Large amounts of bird droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can hold germs and fungal spores. A small spot outdoors is a simple wash. Thick buildup in a closed space needs protective gear and wet methods.
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.
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.
How do I get rid of the guano smell?
The odor comes from droppings and urine soaked into wood and insulation, so the fix is removing the source and treating surfaces. Air fresheners only cover it. Deep stains in wood may need extra treatment.
Can pigeon droppings damage a roof or building?
Yes. Droppings are acidic and can stain and wear down paint, metal and roofing over time. They also clog gutters and drains and create slip hazards on walkways. Cleanup and deterrents work best together.
