Professional Bat Removal Services

Bats play a crucial role in our ecosystem by controlling insect populations, but they can become a nuisance when they roost in homes or buildings. In Florida, bats are protected by law, requiring specialized knowledge for legal and humane removal. Our bat exclusion services ensure these beneficial creatures are safely removed while preventing future intrusions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bat Removal

Is it legal to remove bats from my property?

In Florida, bats are protected wildlife. It is illegal to harm or kill bats, but professional exclusion is permitted outside of bat maternity season (typically April 15 to August 15). Our methods comply with all state regulations.

How do you remove bats without harming them?

We use one-way exclusion devices that allow bats to exit naturally but prevent them from re-entering. This humane approach ensures bats can relocate safely while keeping them out of your home.

What is bat maternity season and why is it important?

Bat maternity season is when female bats give birth and raise their young. In Florida, exclusion work is prohibited during this period (April 15 to August 15) to prevent separating mothers from flightless young, which would result in bat deaths.

Do I need to clean up after the bats are gone?

Yes, bat guano cleanup is recommended as it can harbor harmful fungi and create odors. We offer professional cleanup and sanitization services to safely remove guano and disinfect affected areas.
