The real dangers of a bat infestation
Bats aren’t just a nuisance — they’re a genuine health and safety risk. Here’s what you’re dealing with if bats have moved into your home.
Rabies exposure
Bats are one of the most common carriers of rabies. Contact with bat droppings or saliva puts your family and pets at risk of this potentially fatal disease.
Histoplasmosis
Bat guano contains fungal spores that cause histoplasmosis — a respiratory illness that can lead to flu-like symptoms, pneumonia, and serious lung damage.
Property damage
Bats wear down structures over time, contaminate insulation with droppings, and cause staining and corrosion that leads to costly repairs if left untreated.
Odor & noise
Bat colonies produce strong, persistent odors from guano and urine. You’ll also hear scratching and squeaking in your walls and ceilings, especially at dusk.
Our bat removal process
We use humane exclusion methods that remove bat colonies safely — no harm to the bats, no risk to your family.
Full property inspection
We inspect your entire home to identify every entry and exit point, assess the size of the colony, determine the bat species, and evaluate any damage or contamination.
Humane exclusion
We install one-way exclusion devices at all entry points — bats can leave safely but cannot re-enter. This is the most effective and humane method available. No bats are harmed.
Complete entry point sealing
Once the colony has vacated, we permanently seal every gap, crack, and opening. Bats can fit through a space the size of a quarter — we don’t miss anything.
Guano cleanup & disinfection
We remove bat guano, clean and disinfect affected areas, and eliminate the harmful fungal spores that cause respiratory illness. Your attic comes back safe and healthy.
Attic restoration (when needed)
In cases where bats have caused significant contamination and insulation damage, we remove the damaged material, sanitize, and re-insulate to restore your attic completely.
Humane exclusion techniques we use
One-way doors
Attached at an angle over entry points, allowing bats to exit naturally but physically preventing re-entry. The most effective exclusion method available.
Exclusion netting
Fine mesh netting installed over larger openings that allows bats to leave harmlessly without damaging their wings, while blocking return access.
Cone devices
Smooth cone-shaped devices placed at entry points that eliminate traction for re-entry. Bats can exit easily but cannot grip their way back inside.

Frequently asked questions
What should I do if I find a bat in my house?
Stay calm and keep pets and children away. Close doors to confine the bat to one room, turn off lights and ceiling fans, and call us immediately. Don’t try to catch it yourself — bats can carry rabies and may be living in hidden areas of your home.
How do you remove bats from an attic?
We install humane one-way exclusion devices at all entry points. Bats leave naturally but can’t get back in. Once the colony has vacated, we permanently seal every opening and clean up any guano contamination.
Is it safe to handle bats on my own?
No. Bats carry rabies and other diseases. Handling them puts your health at serious risk. If anyone in your home has had physical contact with a bat, call a doctor immediately. Always use a licensed professional for bat removal.
How do you prevent future bat infestations?
Complete entry point sealing is the key. We seal every gap, crack, and opening in your home’s exterior. Bats can fit through a hole the size of a quarter, so thoroughness is critical. We also install exclusion devices where needed for long-term prevention.
How much does bat removal cost?
Cost depends on the colony size, location, and extent of damage. We provide a free consultation and estimate so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. Call 913-820-9737 for a quote.
Are bats protected by law?
Some bat species are protected under federal and state law. That’s why humane exclusion — not extermination — is the proper approach. Our team is trained in legally compliant bat removal methods that protect both you and the bats.
Don’t let bats put your family at risk
The longer bats stay, the more contamination builds up. Let our experts handle it — humanely, safely, and permanently.
