Bats in the attic
There are at least 13 species of bats in the state of Florida and they all pose very little threat to humans. In fact, bats are Florida’s natural insect control and play an important role in our environment.
The problem with bats is when they take up residence in your home or business. A bat colony can quickly grow and before you know it, you have a full-blown infestation on your hands. Bats are very messy and their droppings (guano) can contaminate insulation, air vents, and ductwork of your home or business. Not to mention, the constant noise that bats create when they are flying around in the attic can be very annoying.
Bat guano is also a health hazard if left untreated for too long. The droppings will harden over time which makes them more difficult to clean up later on down the road. As the guano builds up, it can create a conducive environment for harmful organisms like bacteria and mold to grow.
Places like your chimney or your attic are ideal for bats to take up residence because they provide warmth, shelter, and easy access for the animals to fly in and out.
What is Histoplasmosis?
Histoplasmosis is a disease that can be transmitted from bats to humans. This dangerous infection will cause flu-like symptoms such as high fevers, fatigue, headache, and chest pains.
Histoplasmosis can be quite severe and life-threatening if not treated. If you have been around bats and are experiencing any of the above symptoms, please see a doctor immediately.

Bat Exclusion: The Best Form of Bat Removal
The best way to get rid of a bat problem is by performing a proper bat exclusion. Bat exclusions are usually done in the evening when all bats have gone out to feed. Bat exclusion works so well because it prevents the bats from ever re-entering the building.
When we perform a bat exclusion, We install a custom one-way door that only allows the animals to leave but never enter again. Once all of the bats are outside, our professional wildlife technicians will shut and seal any openings in your home or business where they could potentially get back inside.
The entry points used by bats are usually from construction defects and holes in your roof. These entry points can be very small and it is difficult for humans to find them because they are usually hidden from plain sight.
Sealing up these entry points will not only keep bats from getting back inside but also other kinds of wildlife such as raccoons, rodents, and more.
It is important to note that during the bat maternity season (typically April 15 to July 15) bat exclusions are illegal. During this time, female bats will be inside of your attic with their pups nursing and taking care of them until they get old enough to leave the roost themselves. Doing exclusion work during this time will separate the young bats from their mother and cause them to die.
Our Bat Exclusion Process
Here’s the process we use for bat exclusion jobs:
- Spend a great deal of time locating all bat entry points
- Install a one-way bat exclusion door at the primary entry points
- Make sure all bats are out of the building
- Seal up all potential bat entry points with a heavy-duty sealant
- Perform attic clean up and removal of all bat guano
- Replace insulation if needed
- Repair interior and exterior damage caused by bats
Bats are beneficial to our environment but they can be quite a nuisance when they take up residence in our homes or businesses. The solution is to install a one-way bat exclusion door when they forage at night and then seal up all access when they’re gone. This is best because it is humane and there will be no dead animals left behind to clean up afterward.
