Bats

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.

Typical range: $450–$2,800 depending on colony size, roof access, and guano cleanup

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

1. Roof-line inspection

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.

2. Legal timing check

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.

3. One-way exclusion

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.

4. Cleanup and permanent seal

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.

Squirrels in the soffit off Westheimer

Luis found the entry point in 15 minutes — a chewed gable vent I'd missed for a year. Exclusion mesh, one-way door, follow-up visit. Straightforward pricing, no upsell.

Bat colony removed the right way

Trevor explained the whole maternity-season timeline and didn't try to rush the exclusion. Waited until pups could fly, sealed the ridge cap, guano cleanup was thorough. Have not heard a scratch in the attic since.

Rats in the garage — Logan Square

Ryan didn't just bait. He mapped the burrows, sealed the foundation gaps behind the trash cans, and coordinated with the alderman's rat abatement. Three months clean. Very Chicago-savvy.

Raccoon in the attic — gone in 48 hours

Marcus showed up two hours after I called, showed me exactly where she was getting in above the soffit, set a one-way door and sealed six other gaps I didn't even know existed. No more scratching. Written warranty. Worth every dollar.

Raccoons in the soffit near Bayshore

Alex crawled the entire soffit line, found three entry points I didn't know about, set a one-way and sealed the rest with heavy mesh. Warranty on the exclusion. Straight shooter.

Flying squirrels in East Nashville

Cole diagnosed flying squirrels (not roof rats — I would've bought poison and made it worse). Set traps in the right runs, sealed the fascia gap, checked back twice. Very knowledgeable.

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 eats thousands of insects a night. 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.
