Only about 31% of homes in Lee Acres were built before 1980, but newer roofs, vents and soffits can still give bats and birds a way in. Lee Acres is on the drier side, with about 8 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
  • HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal
  • Cleaning of stained ceilings, walls and floors below an affected attic
  • 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

Common Questions About Guano Removal in Lee Acres, NM

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.

Do I need to replace attic insulation after guano?

Usually, if droppings or urine have soaked into it. Soiled insulation holds contamination and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. After removal, new insulation is installed as a separate job.

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.

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.

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.
