Do you have bats in your attic? Don’t panic! It’s a common problem in Georgia, but there are humane and effective solutions for bat removal. Here’s what you need to know:

First and foremost, it’s important to understand the legalities of bat removal. Bats are federally and state-protected, so harming a bat can result in fines as high as $10,000 for the homeowner. That’s why it’s crucial to hire a professional wildlife control service that is knowledgeable about bat exclusion processes and follows best practices for humane bat removal.

At our family-owned and operated nuisance wildlife company, we have 14 years of experience in bat removal and we always ensure that no bats are harmed in the process. We use methods such as one-way bat valves and hand removal to safely and humanely remove bats from attics. Additionally, we offer a 10-year free warranty on all of our bat exclusion work, so you can have peace of mind knowing that your home is protected from bat re-entry.

So how do you know if you have bats in your attic? The most common sign is actually seeing bats in your attic, noticing a buildup of bat guano or “rub” (a result of bats squeezing through their oily fur repeatedly), or observing dirty gable vents on the outside of your home. These are all indications that you may have a bat infestation and should call a wildlife control service right away.

It’s also important to be aware of the bat maternity season, which occurs between April and August in Georgia. During this time, female bats give birth and raise their young. It’s illegal to perform bat exclusion work during this period, so it’s best to schedule bat removal services in the fall or winter months.

Lastly, there are some misconceptions about bats that we’d like to address. Bats do not want to attack humans, and although it’s not recommended to let them stay in your attic, there’s no need to panic. It’s important to remember that bats play an important role in our ecosystem by pollinating plants and controlling insect populations.
