About Bats

Why Bat Removal Can't Wait

Bats are federally protected in many states, which means removal must be done through exclusion — never trapping or killing. A single colony can number in the hundreds and produce enormous quantities of guano (droppings) that accumulate in attics, causing structural damage and releasing dangerous fungal spores. Bat exclusion is a specialized process that requires identifying every entry point (some as small as 3/8 of an inch) and installing one-way exclusion devices during the correct season. Our certified bat exclusion specialists handle the entire process legally and effectively.

Signs You Have a Bat Problem

Seeing bats flying out of your roofline at dusk — even one or two indicates a colony inside
Dark, greasy staining around small gaps in soffits, fascia, or where walls meet the roof
Strong ammonia odor from guano accumulation in the attic
Squeaking or scratching sounds in walls or attic, especially at dusk and dawn
Bat droppings (guano) on the ground below entry points — crumbles easily and sparkles
Finding a bat inside your living space — indicates they're present in the structure

Risks of Ignoring Bats in Your Home

Bats are the leading cause of rabies transmission to humans in the US — any potential exposure requires immediate medical evaluation.

Histoplasmosis, a serious fungal lung disease, is caused by inhaling spores from bat guano. It can be fatal in immunocompromised individuals.

Large guano accumulations can collapse ceilings and cause significant structural damage to attic framing.

Bat bugs (similar to bed bugs) infest homes when bat colonies are present and can spread into living areas.

Guano is highly acidic and corrodes wood, metal, and insulation over time.

Improper exclusion during maternity season (May–August) can trap flightless pups inside, causing odor and additional problems.

Our Approach

How We Remove Bats

Inspection & Assessment

We perform a full exterior inspection at dusk to observe bat flight patterns and identify every entry point, no matter how small.

Exclusion Devices

One-way exclusion tubes and netting are installed at all entry points, allowing bats to exit but not return — done outside maternity season.

Permanent Sealing

After all bats have exited (typically 3–7 days), we permanently seal every gap with caulk, mesh, and flashing.

Guano Cleanup

Accumulated guano is removed using HEPA equipment and proper PPE. Affected areas are treated with enzyme-based disinfectants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to remove bats?

Bats are protected under state and federal law. You cannot trap, kill, or harm them. Legal removal is done through exclusion only, and must avoid maternity season (May–August in most states).

When is the best time to exclude bats?

Spring (March–April) or fall (September–October) — outside the maternity season when flightless pups are present. We'll advise on the right timing for your location.

How many bats might be in my home?

Colonies range from a handful to several hundred. The longer they've been present, the larger the colony. Early action is always better.

Do I need to worry about rabies?

If you've had any potential exposure to a bat (woke up with one in the room, found one near a child or pet), contact your doctor immediately. Rabies is preventable if treated promptly.
