Bat Removal & Exclusion in Rochester, Buffalo, & Syracuse

We specialize in safe and effective bat removal solutions. Our services include humane removal, preventing future intrusions, and repairing any damage caused by bats.
Why are bats a problem in your home?
Health risks from guano (histoplasmosis risk)

Bat droppings, known as guano, can harbor a fungus that causes histoplasmosis, a respiratory disease. It's crucial to address bat infestations promptly to prevent health issues.
Noise in attic and walls

Bats can create disturbing noises in your attic and walls, especially at night. These sounds indicate an active colony and can disrupt your peace of mind.
Strong odors and staining

The accumulation of guano and urine can lead to strong, unpleasant odors and unsightly staining on your home's structure, requiring professional cleaning and remediation.
Bats return yearly if entry points aren’t sealed

Bats are creatures of habit and will return to their roosting sites year after year. Proper exclusion and sealing of entry points are essential to prevent their return.
Small gaps = easy re-entry

Bats can squeeze through incredibly small openings, sometimes as tiny as half an inch. This makes thorough inspection and sealing critical for effective bat exclusion.

Understanding Bats: It's More Than Just Removal
Bats are crucial to our ecosystem, but they can be a nuisance when they invade homes. Their complex behaviors and protected status mean a simple 'pest control' approach won't work. Specialized knowledge ensures humane and effective removal.
Why are bats a protected species?

Many bat species in the US are protected due to declining populations. They play a vital role in insect control and pollination, making their conservation important.
What makes DIY bat removal dangerous?

DIY attempts can lead to bats being trapped inside your home, potential bites, and exposure to guano (bat droppings) which can carry health risks. You might also harm bats, which is illegal for protected species.
Can regular pest control companies handle bats?

General pest control companies often lack the specialized training and licensing required for humane bat exclusion. Their methods might violate wildlife protection laws and be ineffective in the long run.
What is humane bat exclusion?

Humane exclusion involves installing one-way devices that allow bats to leave your home but prevent them from re-entering. This method ensures bats are not harmed and can continue their ecological roles.
When is the best time for bat removal?

Bat removal is typically performed when bats are not raising their young (maternity season). This varies by region but generally falls outside of late spring and early summer to protect bat pups.
What are the signs of a bat infestation?

Common signs include scratching or squeaking noises in your attic, visible bat droppings (guano) near entry points or in the attic, and bats flying around your home at dusk or dawn.
