Bats living in your attic, barn, or other areas of your property is hardly an ideal situation. Fortunately, there are ways to permanently remove the pests from your property and prevent them from ever re-entering. In almost every scenario you will want to contact a local wildlife removal company who are experts at all types of wildlife removal and will be able to assess the gravity of your problem.

Why Bats are a Nuisance

Bats nest in attics, barns or other enclosed structures when their natural habitat is destroyed. Having bats in your home can quickly become a nuisance because not only are they prone to carrying contagious diseases such as rabies, but their feces (also known as guano) creates a foul odor that can be extremely difficult to get rid of. On top of that, once bats begin mating season, it is nearly impossible to get rid of them, and is even advised to wait until the season is over before beginning remediation.

How do you get rid of Bats?

There are specific measures to getting rid of bats, and even some regulations imposed by certain states to do it properly. If you have a bat infestation, the best bet is to call a nuisance wildlife professional. There are many companies both nationwide and local who can handle this for you. An example of a nationwide company would be Orkin, and a local company in the hometown of the author is JacopilleBornheimer LLC Wildlife Removal. Whether you decide to go with a big national company, or go with a local business, it is important to make sure the removal expert knows when it is okay to remove bats, and when it is not. They must also provide cleanup and sealing solutions to prevent the bats from ever finding their way back into your home. This last part is the most important piece of the whole project, because bats can find their way back into a home with relative ease if they have already nested in it.
