Bats

REMOVAL, EXCLUSION
AND PREVENTION
Most customers have the same feelings about bats, they love them around the home, but don't want them living in their homes. That ís the sentiment that I hear when I am called out to remove a bat that has made it's way into a home or business.

WHY SHOULD YOU EVICT BATS?
There is good reason why bats aren't wanted in the home. The biggest concern is Rabies. Rabies is transmitted when an infected bat bites or scratches a person's skin. Studies have shown that most bats do not carry the rabies virus, but unfortunately you can't tell by just looking at the bat. Bats can also carry another disease known as Histoplasmosis, which is a respiratory disease caused by fungal spores found in bat droppings. Other concerns with bat colonies in the home include, loud noises and squealing at night, persistent odors and stains on outside/inside walls, attics, and ceilings. Another major concern is bat droppings in the attic, if bat droppings are noticed, cleaning and sanitation are usually suggested or required.

THERE IS A BAT FLYING
AROUND IN MY HOME!
If you have seen a bat in the home the best thing to do is trap it in an isolated room or area, put a towel under the door and call Advanced Wildlife Control to come and remove your bat.

I HEARD NOISES IN THE WALL,
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Not all noises or loud squealing in your home are bats, however, if you are hearing sounds in your attic, you can schedule an appointment and we will determine what is making the sounds, where they are entering your home, and how we will rid you of that animal and seal that entry point(s).

BAT PROOFING A HOME OR BUSINESS:
The safest way to remove bats unharmed from your home and to place them back into their natural habitat, is to have an eviction or "Bat Proofing" done to the home. Our first step is to inspect the exterior/interior of the structure for bat entry points. This service can be done year-round. After locating the problem areas an estimate is given for the bat exclusion/proofing. A written report is given to show the homeowner what services we will provide and what areas specifically need our exclusion devices. We walk through the process with the homeowner giving him our step by step plan as well as informing our customers if clean-up is necessary and giving them ideas on what we can do if clean-up and sanitation is needed.

GUARANTEED WORK
Advanced Wildlife Control guarantees all of our Bat Proofing/Exclusion work. A written guarantee is given to each customer at the time of inspection, guaranteeing all of our work. The duration of the guarantee is dependant upon the condition of the home/business. The minimum guarantee is 2 years. Most guarantees range anywhere from 2-5 years. Extensions of the guarantee can be purchased for a minimal cost anytime.
