Signs You Need Bat Removal Services

Bats are often heard rather than seen, especially since they are nocturnal. If you suspect you have a bat problem, look out for the following signs:

  • Noises in the Attic or Walls: Bats are nocturnal and can make scratching, squeaking, or flapping noises in your attic or walls. You may hear them during dusk or dawn when they are most active.
  • Visible Bats: If you see bats flying around your home or roosting on the exterior, there is likely an entry point that they’re using to get inside.
  • Guano (Bat Droppings): Bat droppings are often found around entry points or in areas where bats are roosting. Bat guano is not only a nuisance, but it can also lead to health hazards such as fungal infections and bacteria.
  • chimney, and foundation. If you notice cracks, gaps, or holes around these areas, it’s a sign that bats could be entering your home.Our Bat Removal and Exclusion Process

Bats in Houses

At Jesse James Critter Gitters, we follow a comprehensive process to remove bats from your home and ensure they do not return:

  1. Inspection and Assessment:
    Our team begins by performing a thorough inspection of your home. We’ll identify areas where bats are entering, locate any nests or roosts, and assess the damage they may have caused. This allows us to develop a targeted strategy for removal and exclusion.
  2. Humane Bat Removal:
    If bats are present inside your home, we use safe and humane methods to remove them. We may install bat-proof one-way exit devices that allow bats to leave but prevent them from re-entering. Our team uses proven methods that ensure no harm comes to the bats during the removal process.
  3. Exclusion and Repair:
    After removing the bats, we will seal all entry points to prevent them from coming back. This may involve repairing cracks and gaps in your roofline, chimney, vents, or foundation. We use durable, high-quality materials to ensure that your home is sealed tight and secure from future bat intrusions.
  4. Damage Cleanup and Decontamination:
    Bat droppings, urine, and debris can accumulate in your attic or other areas where bats have roosted. These waste materials can carry diseases and create unpleasant odors. Our team offers professional cleanup and decontamination services to ensure that your home is safe and sanitary.
  5. Prevention and Monitoring:
    Once the bats are removed and exclusion is completed, we offer ongoing monitoring and prevention advice. We may recommend additional measures to discourage bats from returning, such as trimming trees that give them access to your roof, or removing food sources like insects.

Why Bat Removal is Important

Bats can cause serious problems when they enter your home:

  • Property Damage: Bats can damage insulation, wires, wooden beams, and roofing materials. The accumulation of guano can weaken structures and lead to costly repairs.
  • Health Risks: Bat droppings (guano) can carry harmful bacteria and fungi, such as histoplasmosis, which can cause respiratory problems if inhaled. Additionally, bats may carry diseases like rabies, which could pose a health risk to your family and pets.
  • Noise and Disturbance: Bats can be noisy, especially at dusk when they are most active. The sounds of flapping, squeaking, and scratching can be disruptive, particularly if the bats are in your attic or walls.
