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 seek out warm, protected spaces to roost, particularly areas that offer shelter from predators and the elements. Their small size allows them to squeeze through openings as narrow as three-quarters of an inch, making entry easy.
Adult bats typically exit at night to forage for food, but they will return to their roost unless all access points are sealed. If baby bats are present, they may remain inside, which complicates the exclusion process and requires professional timing to ensure their safety.
Bat exclusion is a humane and legally compliant method of removing bats and preventing their return.
All potential entry points are sealed.
One-way exit devices are installed, allowing the bats to leave to forage but preventing them from re-entering.
Because bats are protected, exclusion must only be performed at the appropriate time of year to avoid harming young bats that cannot yet fly.
Bats have strong homing instincts and may attempt to return. Effective exclusion requires a professional to seal all potential access points and implement techniques to make the environment less hospitable, preventing reinfestation.
Bat guano is hazardous and requires cleaning with protective equipment. Contaminated insulation or other materials may need to be replaced. Professional attic restoration services are recommended to ensure thorough decontamination and prevent disease exposure.
Yes. Although bats are not naturally aggressive, they should never be handled as they can carry diseases such as rabies. Their droppings (guano) can harbor harmful fungal spores that cause respiratory infections like histoplasmosis. Additionally, their presence can introduce parasites like fleas, mites, and ticks.
It is rare but possible for a bat to bite without the person realizing it, as their teeth are very small. If you wake to find a bat in your room, seek medical advice immediately to rule out potential exposure to rabies.
If a single bat enters your home, open windows and doors to allow it to exit on its own. Avoid swatting at the bat, as this can disorient and stress it.
Due to the health risks and legal considerations surrounding bat removal, it is always best to work with a licensed pest management professional. They can:
Safely remove bats using humane exclusion techniques.
Decontaminate affected areas (guano cleanup).
Implement effective exclusion to prevent future issues.
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.
