Fast, Effective bat Removal
to Protect Your Property

Bats play a valuable role in managing insect populations naturally, but they become problematic when they decide to roost in your home or business. These nocturnal creatures frequently enter buildings through tiny gaps around eaves, architectural features, and other weak points in the structure, often settling in attic spaces. When bats take up residence, they can transmit diseases such as rabies and histoplasmosis, while their accumulated droppings create health hazards and cause structural damage. If you're dealing with a bat infestation, consulting with a professional pest control company can help you address the issue safely and effectively.

We specialize in safe and effective bat exclusion to ensure your property remains bat-free. Our professionals can assist homeowners by providing expert guidance, conducting inspections, and implementing exclusion methods to safely remove bats and prevent their return. Bat removal requires specialized gear and experience; a complete exclusion process is necessary to ensure bats do not re-enter and your property is fully protected. To address the issue effectively, it is essential to start the bat exclusion process as soon as you notice signs of an infestation.

Introduction to Bat Exclusion

Bat exclusion is a vital process that involves safely removing bats from homes and other buildings while ensuring they cannot return. Because bats can squeeze through incredibly tight spaces and create holes in a range of locations—including vents, chimneys, and even around windows—removing them requires a delicate approach and specialized gear. Professional bat removal services have the experience and equipment needed to identify all possible entry points and safely carry out the exclusion process. Attempting to remove bats without the right knowledge can be dangerous and ineffective, as bats may find new ways to re-enter or become trapped inside. Starting the bat exclusion process as soon as you notice signs of an infestation is essential to protect your property and reduce health risks associated with bats living in your home.

Signs of Bat Infestation

Recognizing a bat infestation early can make the removal process much easier and safer. One of the most noticeable signs is the presence of bat feces, or guano, which often accumulates in attics, chimneys, or other quiet areas where bats roost. Bat guano not only causes a foul odor and unsightly stains but also poses health risks to people living in the home. You might also hear scratching or fluttering sounds, especially at dusk or dawn when bats are most active and flying in or out of their roosts. If you see bats flying around your home at these times, or notice unusual noises coming from the walls or ceiling, it’s important to contact a professional bat removal service. They can assess the situation and begin the exclusion process to keep your home safe.

Health Risks Associated with Bats

Bats can carry diseases that pose serious health risks to people, especially if someone is bitten or scratched. Rabies is a well-known concern, but bat feces can also harbor fungi that cause respiratory illnesses. In addition, bats can bring in pests like bat bugs, which may bite and cause irritation. When dealing with bats or cleaning up after an infestation, it’s crucial to wear gloves and avoid direct contact with bat feces or urine. If you are bitten or scratched by a bat, seek medical attention immediately to reduce the risk of disease. Professional bat removal services are trained to safely remove bats and thoroughly clean affected areas, helping to reduce the risk of health problems for everyone in your home.

Our Bat Exclusion Services Include:

Our Bat Exclusion Services focus on safely and humanely removing bats from your property. We start with a thorough inspection to identify entry points, followed by safe removal and sealing of all openings. We also implement preventative measures and address health risks, such as guano cleanup and insulation replacement, to keep your home protected.

  • Inspection and Assessment: We conduct a thorough inspection, as required, to locate all potential entry points—including small holes—and assess the extent of the bat infestation.

  • Safe and Humane Bat Removal: Our team uses humane control and exclusion methods to remove bats without harm, never attempting to exterminate bats, as extermination is not permitted.

  • Sealing Entry Points: We seal any openings, including all holes around vents and the chimney, to prevent bats from re-entering your property.

  • Preventative Measures: We implement long-term strategies to keep bats from roosting in or around your property. Professionals also address issues like contaminated insulation and provide advice on preventing future wildlife intrusions.

Extermination is not used because bats are federally protected, and humane exclusion is required by law. After bats leave, cleanup of guano and replacement of insulation may be necessary to ensure health and safety.

 

Many bats may roost in attics, especially in late spring when maternity colonies form, and bats may enter homes in winter to hibernate. Bats feed on insects and may be attracted to homes with abundant food sources. Bats naturally live in caves and trees, but may occasionally enter homes. Bats can fly through small openings, and removal is easy when only a single bat is present. If you find a sick bat, do not handle it—call professionals. Bats' nocturnal activity can disrupt your sleep. The reasons for professional bat removal include health risks from guano, legal requirements, and preventing reentry. Bats live in various locations and their behavior changes with the seasons.​

Preventing Future Bat Infestations

To prevent bats from returning, it’s important to seal all holes and gaps in your home, especially around vents, chimneys, and windows. Installing bat-proof screens and covers on these entry points can make a big difference. Reducing the number of insects around your home and controlling moisture can also help, as these factors attract bats looking for food and water. Maternal colonies, which include baby bats that cannot yet fly, can make removal more difficult, so it’s best to work with a professional bat removal service. Experts can safely remove both adult bats and babies, ensuring your home stays bat-free and reducing the risk of future infestations.

Cost of Bat Removal

The cost of bat removal depends on several factors, including the size of the bat colony, the location of the infestation, and the extent of any damage. Prices typically range from $400 to $1,500 or more, depending on how complex the job is. Hiring a professional bat removal service ensures the process is done safely and completely, protecting your home and your family. Many insurance policies may cover some or all of the costs, so it’s a good idea to check with your provider. With the help of experienced experts, you can safely remove little brown bats, big brown bats, and other species, restoring peace of mind and protecting your property from the risks associated with bat infestations.
