Every home and bat situation is different, which is why we tailor our bat removal services to your specific needs. Our experts use safe, humane, and effective methods to help remove bats, seal entry points, and prevent future infestations.
Bats are often drawn to dark, quiet areas, such as attics, where they can roost safely near food sources, including insects and fruit. If you think bats may be roosting in your home, there are several signs to look for:
- You may hear chirping, squeaking, or fluttering sounds as bats leave or return to their roost. These noises often come from attics, walls, or vents.
- Look for greasy, dark marks or small, dry, pellet-like droppings where bats are roosting. A distinct, musty smell may also develop in areas where bats are nesting or where droppings have built up.
- Seeing bats flying near your roofline at dusk or entering small gaps around vents, chimneys, or eaves is a clear sign of activity.
Effective bat removal starts with identifying the specific species in your home. Because different bats have unique behaviors and preferred roosting sites, the control method can vary. Here are some of the most common bat species you may encounter

Some homeowners attempt DIY bat removal methods, such as sealing entry points while bats are inside, using bright lights, or applying chemical repellents. Some may also try to use strong-smelling substances, though there is no smell proven to reliably deter bats.
Regardless of the method, DIY bat removal is not recommended. Bats are protected wildlife, and improper handling can harm the animals, create health risks from droppings or parasites, and lead to fines or legal trouble for violating local or federal wildlife laws.
Bat removal costs can vary widely depending on the size of the infestation, the species of bat, the condition of your home, and the treatment methods required. Because every situation is unique, our experts conduct a thorough inspection and provide an accurate quote tailored to your home.
There are various dangers of bats that homeowners should be aware of. While bats are generally not aggressive and will avoid humans when possible, they can carry diseases such as rabies. Their droppings can also pose health risks if disturbed. Because of these risks, it’s best to contact a pest control professional as soon as possible.
