Bernalillo is on the drier side, with about 10 inches of rain a year, so old guano dries out fast and turns to fine dust that must be wetted before removal. Most housing in Sandoval County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 7%, but attics, chimneys and outbuildings can still go unchecked for years.

Sealing and bagging of contaminated waste for proper disposal
Cleanup of barns, lofts, silos, chimneys and old buildings with heavy guano buildup

HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to capture fine dust after removal

How Guano Cleanup Works in Bernalillo, NM

1. Find every deposit

Crews check roost sites, rafters, ledges and insulation, since droppings build up where animals return again and again.

2. Suppress the dust

Technicians put on respirators and suits, then lightly wet the guano to keep fine particles from rising.

3. Wet, scrape and clear

Droppings are wetted, scraped and collected, and insulation that cannot be cleaned is cut out and bagged.

4. Disinfect and inspect

Wood, drywall and hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, odor is treated, and the crew checks the finished space.

Guano Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Bernalillo, NM

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.

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.

Is guano dangerous?

It can be. Dry guano releases fine dust, and some bird and bat droppings can carry a fungus linked to histoplasmosis, a lung infection. Many people never get sick, but older, heavy deposits carry more risk. Avoid stirring it up.

Do barns and old buildings need special handling?

Buildings with years of buildup can hold thick, dry, dusty guano that is easy to disturb. Crews ventilate, wet down and use respirators and containment to keep spores out of the air.

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