Bat Removal in Afton
Humane bat colony removal in Afton, Wyoming. Full property inspection, custom one-way exclusion, and a written warranty on every job. Compliant with Wyoming and federal law.
Bat activity in Afton
Afton is the largest community in Star Valley, a broad agricultural valley running north-south through Lincoln County along the Salt River at roughly 5,900 feet. The valley floor is a mosaic of irrigated pasture, alfalfa fields, and small-town neighborhoods, all of which generate abundant insect populations that support large bat foraging populations. Afton's older brick commercial buildings and wood-frame residences are typical bat roosting habitat.
Big brown bats are common in Afton structures and overwinter in some buildings rather than migrating. Little brown bats establish maternity colonies in attics throughout the residential areas. The irrigated valley floor makes Star Valley one of the most bat-active areas in the region.
Bat Removal in Afton: our standard scope
Every bat colony removal job in Afton runs to the same scope. No upsells, no surprise fees.
Full property inspection
We inspect the complete structure to locate every entry point before any work begins. No guesswork, no missed openings.
Custom exclusion devices
Each device is fitted to the specific opening. Bats exit naturally and cannot re-enter. No trapping, no poison.
Permanent sealing
After the colony vacates, we remove all devices and permanently seal every opening with professional-grade materials.
Written warranty
If bats re-enter through any point we sealed, we return at no charge. Every exclusion in Afton is warranted.
Afton bat removal must follow Wyoming and federal law
All bat species in the Teton region are protected under Wyoming and federal law. Lethal methods, trapping, and poison are prohibited. Wyoming Game and Fish sets the maternity-season exclusion restriction, typically June through mid-August, during which flightless pups are present in roosts. Work performed during that window risks trapping juveniles inside the structure, which is both illegal and counterproductive.
The optimal exclusion windows in this region are spring, from March through May, and late summer through fall, from August 15 through October. We schedule all Afton work within these legal windows. Call (307) 522-1433 to discuss your timing and get a straight answer on when work can begin.

We bring the same inspection standard and the same written warranty to every job, whether it is a condominium in Teton Village or a farmhouse in Shelley.

How do I know if I have bats in my Afton home?
