The Truth About Bats in Your Home: Why Professional Bat Removal and Pest Control Matter
PAGE
By PAGE Editor
Discovering bats in your attic or walls is enough to make anyone uneasy. But while your first reaction might be fear, bats play an important role in local ecosystems—helping control insect populations and pollinate plants. The real danger isn’t the bats themselves, but what can happen when they make your house their own. At Boone Wildlife and Pest Solutions, we know that safe, effective bat removal is about more than just getting rid of the problem—it’s about protecting your home, your family, and the wildlife that surrounds you.
Why Bats Move In
Bats are looking for safe, warm places to roost, especially during maternity season or in colder months. Your attic, soffits, or even wall voids offer just the right combination of shelter and temperature. Once a colony is established, getting rid of them becomes a challenge that’s far beyond simple DIY methods.
This is where professional pest control and bat removal become crucial. Not only do you need to remove the bats safely, but you also need to seal up entry points and address health hazards left behind, like droppings (guano), which can cause respiratory problems if disturbed.
Why DIY Doesn’t Work
It’s tempting to try homemade bat repellents or block entryways yourself, but most store-bought solutions don’t work—and can even make the situation worse. Sealing up an attic with bats inside can trap them, leading to more damage (and possibly dead bats, which bring a host of new problems).
Effective bat removal requires knowledge of local laws (since bats are protected species in many areas), the right timing, and humane exclusion methods. Boone Wildlife and Pest Solutions specializes in safe, legal techniques that get bats out without harming them or your property.
The Risks of Bats in Your Home
Health hazards: Bat guano can carry histoplasmosis, a fungus that poses serious risks if inhaled. Bat mites and parasites may spread to people or pets.
Structural damage: Accumulated droppings and urine corrode wood, drywall, and insulation. Over time, this can lead to costly repairs.
Recurring infestations: Without proper exclusion, bats can return year after year, often bringing more with them.
A professional pest control company knows how to identify entry points, assess colony size, and prevent future issues.
The Boone Wildlife and Pest Solutions Approach
Our process for bat removal is built on humane, science-based solutions:
Inspection: We conduct a thorough assessment of your home—identifying bat entry and exit points, as well as the extent of any damage.
Exclusion: One-way doors or exclusion devices are installed, allowing bats to exit safely but not return.
Sealing: Once all bats are out, every potential entry is permanently sealed, using materials that last.
Cleanup: Guano and contaminated insulation are removed, and affected areas are sanitized to eliminate health risks.
Follow-up: We return to ensure your problem is solved—for good.
