Frequently Asked Questions About Bat Removal

  • What type of problems do bats cause when they live in a building?

    The odor is usually the first thing people notice. A large colony of bats will generate a lot of noise. Bats are generally harmless animals, they don’t chew on wires like rodents do, but the main problem they cause is that they poop and pee a lot. Each bat can poop 20 pellets per day, and if you multiply that number times hundreds of bats over a couple of years, you get an attic full of bat guano (bat poop).

  • Is it safe to remove bats on my own?

    Due to the very real possibility that bats can carry rabies and other infectious diseases- the short answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT! Contact a specialized bat removal company such as Batman Enterprises.

  • Do you really guarantee your bat removal service?

    Yes! We will remove all bats properly, using the best practices in a safe and humane way for the bats. This process is called “exclusion”. In addition, we remove and clean up the bat droppings (guano). Guano can cause histoplasmosis in humans and is also very corrosive. If bats return- so do we to remove them!

  • How do bats get in my attic and home?

    A bat can squeeze itself into a small hole in your home that is the size of a dime! And the entire colony will continue to use that hole and other openings as they build inside your attic or home. After we provide a one-way exclusion point for the bats, we seal all of those holes.

  • What is histoplasmosis?

    Bats are known to carry another disease, which is spread through their droppings (guano). It’s a fungal disease called histoplasmosis, which primarily affects the lungs.

  • Do bats travel alone?

    No, typically, bats are not solitary creatures. So, if you see one bat, the colony is nearby. A colony usually consists of 25-35 adult bats, which, of course, can breed and grow exponentially.

  • Do bats provide any benefits?

    Yes! Bats are beneficial mammals that consume LOTS of insects, and some actually act as pollinators.
