Bats play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance by consuming vast quantities of insects. However, when they take up residence in your home, they become a serious nuisance and a significant health concern.
Bats often find their way indoors when doors or windows are accidentally left open, or when they utilize small cracks and openings to settle in attics or seldom-used spaces. Allowing bats to remain can lead to health risks and significant messes requiring professional cleanup.
The most reliable way to confirm and address a bat problem is through a professional inspection by a bat exclusion specialist.
Inspecting for Bat Infestations: Trained professionals are skilled at listening for distinctive high-pitched sounds and checking attics or crawlspaces for clear signs of bat presence:
Checking for bat droppings, which have a strong ammonia-like smell.
Looking for dark, greasy marks around exterior openings—left by bat fur—indicating frequent entry and exit points.
An expert evaluation ensures accurate identification and proper, compliant treatment.
Since certain bat species are federally protected (such as the little brown bat, big brown bat, and others common to Pennsylvania), proper identification is crucial. Trained professionals ensure humane removal while adhering to state laws and sealing off entry points to prevent re-entry.
No. Unlike rodents, bats require specialized exclusion techniques due to legal protections and the ineffectiveness of DIY solutions. Many commercially available ultrasonic repellents fail to deter bats effectively, and improper handling can actually worsen the infestation.
Hiring a licensed professional ensures a safe and compliant removal process.
Beyond the physical removal of the bats, professional cleaning and decontamination are essential to eliminate the significant health risks associated with their presence.
Bat guano can harbor harmful bacteria and fungal spores that cause serious respiratory risks, such as Histoplasmosis.
Professional cleaning is vital. Long-term infestations may necessitate insulation replacement and structural repairs due to corrosive guano damage.
Once the infestation is eradicated, exclusion measures and sanitation ensure the space remains bat-free. Since bat control is heavily regulated by state laws, always consult a licensed pest management professional for safe removal, cleanup, and prevention.
Bats are more than just a nuisance; they are carriers of dangerous diseases like rabies and histoplasmosis, and their droppings can cause structural damage. DIY methods are often ineffective and can leave your family vulnerable to serious health risks and legal complications.
