Bat removal and attic exclusion, done under maternity law.
Bats almost never chew their way in — they find a gap you can't see from the ground: a lifted ridge cap, a gable vent screen that pulled loose, a half-inch shadow line where the roof meets the fascia. By the time you hear scratching at dusk, the colony has usually been overhead for weeks. Every bat job we run starts with a full exterior read of the roof line, then a one-way eviction that lets the colony leave and never re-enter.

Signs you have bats
- Chirping or rustling in the attic around dusk and just before dawn
- Dark, greasy staining around a vent, ridge, or fascia gap
- Guano piles on the ground, in soffits, or on attic insulation
- A sharp ammonia smell that gets worse in warm weather
- A single bat in a living space — usually a juvenile that got lost
Why waiting costs more
- Rabies exposure risk if a bat is found in a room where someone slept
- Histoplasmosis spores in accumulated guano
- Insulation soaked with urine and droppings, losing R-value
- Ceiling stains and drywall damage from concentrated roost sites
Most calls spike in late spring when colonies form and again in late summer when juveniles start flying and blunder into living space.
How our bat removal process works
We inspect the entire exterior envelope and the attic, mark every gap a bat can use (a quarter inch is enough), and confirm the roost location and rough colony size.
Bats are protected. During maternity season, flightless pups can't be sealed inside — we schedule the eviction for the legal window and secure the interior in the meantime.
We seal every secondary gap and install one-way devices on the active entries. Bats leave to feed and cannot get back in. No trapping, no harm.
Devices come off, entries are sealed with materials that outlast the roof, and we remove or treat contaminated guano and insulation, then sanitize the roost area.
Bat Removal questions we get every week
Can you remove bats immediately?
Not always — and any company that promises it is either guessing or breaking the law. During maternity season, pups can't fly. Sealing then traps them inside your walls, where they die. We secure the interior, stop new entries, and run the eviction the moment the legal window opens.
Do you kill bats?
No. Bats are protected and ecologically valuable — a single colony plays an important role in the local ecosystem. Every eviction we run is one-way exclusion: they leave on their own and simply can't return.
A bat got into my bedroom. What now?
Don't release it. Contain it in a room if you safely can, and call your health department about rabies testing — bites from bats are small enough to go unnoticed while sleeping. Then call us: a bat inside living space almost always means a roost in the structure.
Does insulation always need replacing?
No. Small roosts with light contamination can be spot-treated. Long-established colonies usually soak a section of insulation, and that section gets removed, sanitized, and re-blown to code depth.
