Discovering bats in your attic, home, or business can be a startling experience. While these creatures play a vital role in our ecosystem, cohabiting with them indoors presents significant challenges. From the unsettling sounds above your head to the potential health risks associated with their presence, it’s clear that professional intervention is needed. At Attic Kings Animal Removal & Exclusion, we specialize in the humane and effective removal of bats, ensuring they don’t return.
The Eviction Process: Safe Removal with a One-Way Door
Our primary method for bat removal is the one-way door eviction. This humane approach allows bats to exit your property to forage but prevents them from re-entering. This method is preferred because it’s safe for the bats, allowing them to relocate naturally. Our typical eviction process for bats using a one-way door takes 7 to 14 days, allowing all bats ample time to vacate the premises.
In cases where a one-way door isn’t feasible, or if there’s a specific need for it, we may perform a physical removal of bats. Rest assured, all our methods prioritize the safety of both the bats and your property.
Keeping Bats Out for Good: Comprehensive Bat Proofing
Once the bats have been humanely evicted, the next crucial step is to bat-proof your property to prevent future intrusions. Bats are masters at finding small entry points. We meticulously inspect your entire property, identifying and sealing potential access points such as:
- Chimneys
- Soffit gaps
- Attics
- Roofline builder gaps
- Fascia and soffit gaps
- Siding
- Shutters
- Hanging flower pots
- Gable Vents
- And any other gaps or crevices bats might take advantage of.
Our goal is to seal the house down tighter than Fort Knox so that bats can’t penetrate, offering you long-term peace of mind. But sometimes a partial exclusion is all that’s needed. That’s why the inspection is important. On partial exclusions, we would only guarantee the work done. On full home exclusions, we would guarantee the whole house and give you an option to renew every year, making any future infestations free of charge. If we do a partial, and they get in another area, new charges may be applied.
Understanding the Risks: Parasites, Diseases, and Dropping Damage
Beyond the unsettling presence, bats can pose risks to your health, family and property. Bat droppings, known as or feces, can accumulate in attics, walls, insulation, window seals and even driveways. This accumulation can lead to strong, unpleasant ammonia-laden smells and can also foster the growth of histoplasma capsulatum, a fungus that causes histoplasmosis, a respiratory disease.
Bats can also carry parasites like bat bugs (which resemble bed bugs) and, though rare, can transmit diseases such as rabies. This is why it’s vital to never handle a bat yourself and to seek professional assistance immediately if you suspect a bat infestation.
