Bats are our most requested call. They roost in attics, wall voids and gaps along rooflines, often entering through openings much smaller than you would expect. Here is how to tell if you have them and what to do next.
Common Signs of Bats
- Bats flying out near the roofline at dusk
- Droppings (guano) below gaps, vents or eaves
- Dark stains or rub marks around small openings
- Scratching or squeaking in walls or the attic at night
Why Sealing the Building Comes First
Removing a colony is only half the job. The building has to be sealed so bats cannot come back. We assess the whole structure, from the foundation to the ridge, and find every active and potential entry point. One-way exits let the bats leave on their own. Once they are out, we seal the openings and confirm the work.
Call us before sealing anything yourself, so bats are not trapped inside.
Timing Matters
During the summer maternity season, young bats cannot yet fly, so exclusion has to be planned carefully. We will explain the right timing for your property.
What If a Bat Gets Inside Your Home?
Keep people and pets away from the room, close interior doors and call us. If anyone may have had contact with the bat, contact your local health department for guidance.
