Common Questions About Bat Removal
Professional answers from Wyoming's trusted bat removal specialists
Safety & Health
Are bats dangerous to humans?
While bats themselves are generally not aggressive, they can carry rabies and their droppings (guano) can cause histoplasmosis, a respiratory infection. Professional removal is essential for safety.
Can I get diseases from bat droppings?
Yes, bat guano can harbor Histoplasma capsulatum, which causes histoplasmosis when spores are inhaled. Our team uses proper protective equipment and sanitization procedures during cleanup.
What should I do if I find a bat in my living space?
Don't handle it yourself. Open windows and doors to give it an exit route, keep pets and children away, and call us immediately. If contact occurred, consult a doctor about rabies exposure.
Removal Process
Do you harm or kill bats during removal?
Absolutely not. We use humane exclusion methods with one-way exits that allow bats to leave naturally but prevent re-entry. This protects both bats and your property.
How long does the exclusion process take?
Initial exclusion work typically takes 1-2 days, depending on property size and complexity. The full process includes a waiting period to ensure all bats have exited before final sealing.
When is the best time for bat exclusion?
Late summer to early fall (August-October) is ideal in Wyoming, after babies can fly but before hibernation. We avoid exclusion during maternity season (May-July) when flightless pups could be trapped.
Service & Pricing
How quickly can you respond to my bat problem?
We typically provide same-day or next-day service throughout the Jackson Hole area. Emergency consultations are available for urgent situations involving bats in living spaces.
What does bat removal cost?
Costs vary based on property size, extent of infestation, and required repairs. We provide free estimates with transparent pricing and no hidden fees. Most residential projects range from $800-$3,500.
Do you offer warranties on your work?
Yes, we provide a comprehensive 2-year warranty on all exclusion work. If bats return to previously treated areas, we'll address it at no charge (structural modifications void warranty).
Prevention & Maintenance
How can I prevent bats from returning?
Our exclusion work includes sealing all entry points with durable materials. Regular property inspections, maintaining roof integrity, and prompt repair of gaps help prevent future issues.
What attracts bats to my property?
Bats seek warm, dark spaces for roosting. Common attractants include roof gaps, attic spaces, loose soffits, open vents, and areas near water sources or insect populations.
Should I install bat houses after exclusion?
Bat houses can be beneficial for local ecosystems and may reduce the likelihood of bats seeking shelter in your home. We can advise on proper placement away from your structure.
