When bats move into your home or business, you need expert bat control services. Several bat species are listed under the Endangered Species Act, and many are covered by state-level legislation or guidelines.
Our bat pest control technicians are familiar with all relevant legislation and guidelines and trained in humane, professional bat removal, including inspection, removal, and long-term exclusion.
Here are some common warning signs that you may need bat control:
These clues often point to an established bat infestation. Because many bats are protected species, you should never attempt bat removal from attic spaces on your own. Besides the health risks, it’s often illegal without proper timing and equipment. Professional bat control ensures that removal is handled humanely and that exclusion steps are taken to prevent future problems.
Western Exterminator follows a proven, humane process for bat removal, designed to protect both your home and the bats themselves. Each stage of the process plays an important role in ensuring a lasting solution.
Every job begins with a thorough bat inspection. Our technicians assess where bats are roosting, how they’re entering, and the extent of the infestation.
This step allows us to determine the right approach and timing for removal, which is especially important since many bat species are seasonal and protected.
Next, we install mesh netting or one-way devices over the main entry points. These allow bats to exit but not re-enter.
The netting remains in place for roughly two weeks, giving the entire colony time to leave naturally. This stage is crucial for humane removal and ensures no bats are trapped inside.
Once all bats are gone, the exclusion process begins. Our team seals gaps, cracks, and openings using durable materials such as caulk and copper gauze.
After removal and exclusion, ongoing monitoring helps confirm that your property remains protected.
If you’re hearing noises at night or finding droppings in your attic, don’t wait. For a free inspection, no-obligation quote, and humane bat control from highly skilled technicians, you can rely on Western Exterminator.
Bats often enter homes looking for warmth, shelter, and safe roosting spots - especially during maternity or hibernation seasons. Attics, vents, and gaps along the roofline make ideal entry points.
Common signs include scratching or squeaking noises at night, droppings near windows or walls, and seeing bats flying from your roofline at dusk. A professional bat inspection can confirm whether bats are present and where they’re nesting.
In many areas, yes. Certain bat species are protected by law, and removal can only occur outside of maternity or hibernation periods. That’s why it’s best to rely on professionals who understand safe, legally compliant bat removal practices.
DIY bat treatments and removal are not recommended. Bats can carry diseases, and sealing them in accidentally can make the problem worse. It may also be illegal to remove bats depending on the species, time of year, and location. Professional bat control services ensure the process is humane, effective, and compliant with local and national wildlife regulations.
Experts use humane methods such as funneling and exclusion to guide bats out safely while preventing re-entry.
