Key takeaways
- Bats eat large amounts of insects
- Many areas restrict removal while pups cannot fly
- One-way exits let every bat leave safely
- Sealing comes after the colony has gone
A colony in the attic is a problem, but bats are worth treating with care.
Why they are in your house
Attics are warm and sheltered, and bats return to the same roost year after year.
How exclusion works
We install one-way exits at the gaps they use, so bats can fly out at night but cannot get back in. After the colony has left, we seal the openings.
Timing
In many areas, bats cannot be excluded while their young cannot yet fly. The rules and the dates differ by place, and we plan around them.
After they leave
Droppings and stained insulation can be cleaned and replaced so the attic is fresh.
