Bat Control Service

Getting rid of bats from your home or property should be done carefully and in accordance with local regulations, as bats are protected in many areas due to their beneficial role in controlling insect populations. Here are some general steps to consider:

1. Identify Entry Points

• Inspect your home or building to identify where bats are entering and exiting. Look for dark stains (bat guano) near entry points as indicators of their presence.

2. Exclusion Methods

• Bat Exclusion Devices: Install one-way exclusion devices, such as bat cones or netting, over the entry points during the evening when bats are out feeding. This allows them to exit but prevents them from re-entering.
• Seal Entry Points: Once bats have exited, permanently seal all potential entry points with caulk, mesh screens, or other appropriate materials to prevent them from returning.

3. Provide Alternative Roosting Sites

• If bats are roosting in your attic or building, provide alternative roosting sites nearby, such as bat houses mounted on poles or trees. This encourages bats to relocate voluntarily.

4. Cleanup and Sanitation

• Safely remove accumulated bat guano and urine from affected areas using protective gear (such as gloves and masks) to avoid exposure to histoplasmosis, a fungal disease associated with bat droppings.

5. Professional Help

• Consider hiring a licensed wildlife control professional or pest management specialist with experience in bat removal and exclusion, especially for large or persistent infestations.
