STEPS FOR BALL GROUND BAT REMOVAL

BAT INSPECTION

We come out to get our eyes on the bats to determine what measures need to be taken to get the bats out, seal up the home so they cannot come back in & clean up guano.  We come prepared to start the work right then and there if you approve.


BAT REMOVAL

As long as it is not the maternity season (no flightless babies), There are only two ways to remove bats: Gentle hand removal or use a one-way valve which lets the bats safely out but blocks them from coming back in.

GUANO REMOVAL

Don’t let people make you think that since you have had bats in your attic that you need a complete attic restoration. 99% chance that you don’t.  Although guano cleanup isn’t cheap, nor should the dirty miserable work be.  Most of the time the guano is right under where the roost.  We will provide you with a quote to remove the guano and sanitize the area.

BALL GROUND BAT EXCLUSION

This is another term for sealing your house, bat-proofing it.  We seal up the current entry & exit as well as seal up all of the areas that we KNOW the bats will revert to as a backup entry.  Bats are super territorial so they will keep trying. It is our job to think ahead and block all attempts so they give up and go elsewhere.

Colonizing Bats of Georgia (Common Pests)

Big Brown Bat (Eptesicus fuscus)

  • Appearance: Large bat with glossy brown fur, broad wings, and a wingspan of about 12-14 inches.
  • Habitat: Commonly roosts in attics, barns, and other buildings. They prefer warm, dark, undisturbed areas for their colonies.
  • Danger: While beneficial for insect control, their guano (bat droppings) can accumulate, leading to foul odors, structural damage, and the potential spread of histoplasmosis, a respiratory disease caused by fungal spores in bat guano.

Little Brown Bat (Myotis lucifugus)

  • Appearance: Small bat with brown fur and a wingspan of about 8-11 inches.
  • Habitat: Often roosts in attics, eaves, and outbuildings. They are particularly attracted to older homes where they can find entry points.
  • Danger: Can form large colonies that produce significant amounts of guano, which can damage insulation and drywall. Like other bats, they can carry rabies, posing a potential risk to homeowners.

Evening Bat (Nycticeius humeralis)

  • Appearance: Medium-sized bat with dark brown or black fur and a wingspan of 10-11 inches.
  • Habitat: Known to roost in attics, behind shutters, and under roof tiles. They are common in suburban areas and can enter homes through small gaps in siding or roofing.
  • Danger: Colonies can produce large amounts of guano, and like other bat species, they are potential carriers of rabies and can bring in ectoparasites like mites and fleas.

Tri-Colored Bat (Perimyotis subflavus)

  • Appearance: Small bat with light brown to yellowish fur, and a wingspan of 8-10 inches.
  • Habitat: Often roosts in attics, barns, and other man-made structures, particularly during winter hibernation.
  • Danger: Guano buildup from their colonies can cause health risks and damage to insulation and woodwork. They are also known carriers of the fungus that causes white-nose syndrome, which doesnโ€™t affect humans but can be a concern for bat populations.

Brazilian Free-Tailed Bat (Tadarida brasiliensis)

  • Appearance: Medium-sized with dark brown to gray fur and long, narrow wings. Known for the tail that extends beyond the membrane, giving a “free-tailed” appearance.
  • Habitat: Often found roosting in large numbers in buildings, especially in attics, chimneys, and under roof tiles. This species forms large colonies and is common in both urban and rural areas.
  • Danger: Large colonies can create extensive guano buildup, leading to odor problems and the potential for structural damage. They are also possible carriers of rabies and can introduce parasites into homes.

Southeastern Myotis (Myotis austroriparius)

  • Appearance: Small bat with grayish-brown fur and a wingspan of about 9-11 inches.
  • Habitat: While they typically roost in caves, they are known to colonize buildings, especially in areas near wetlands. They may also roost in attics or behind shutters.
  • Danger: Their presence can result in guano accumulation, which can cause structural issues and pose health risks due to histoplasmosis. These bats are often found in smaller colonies compared to other species.

Mexican Free-Tailed Bat (Tadarida brasiliensis mexicana)

  • Appearance: Similar in appearance to the Brazilian free-tailed bat with dark fur and long wings, and a tail extending beyond the membrane.
  • Habitat: Frequently roosts in large numbers in man-made structures such as attics, barns, and under roof tiles, especially in southern regions of Georgia.
  • Danger: Large colonies can produce substantial guano, which can cause structural damage and health risks. These bats can also carry rabies, though transmission to humans is rare.

BAT FAQ’S – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q) What should I do if bats enter my home?

A) If bats enter your home, stay calm, avoid direct contact, and call a professional bat removal specialist immediately. Experts can safely remove bats, inspect your property thoroughly, and identify entry points to ensure a lasting solution.

Q) Why is exclusion considered the best method for bat removal?

A) Bat exclusion is the most effective and humane method because it allows bats to exit naturally through specialized devices. Once all bats have exited, professionals permanently seal entry points to prevent future infestations.

Q) How long does professional bat exclusion usually take?

A) The timeline for professional bat exclusion depends on the situation. If bats are limited to an easily accessible area, like a gable vent, exclusion can be completed the same day. For more complex cases requiring one-way bat valves, the process typically takes about a week to ensure all bats exit safely.

Q) Are bats legally protected, affecting removal procedures?

A) Yes, bats are protected wildlife under state and federal laws. This protection requires bat removal professionals to use humane, non-lethal exclusion methods, ensuring compliance with regulations while safeguarding bats.

Q) What health risks do bats pose when nesting in attics?

A) Bats in attics can present health risks such as rabies exposure and respiratory illnesses caused by bat droppings (guano). Professional removal services safely exclude bats and thoroughly clean and disinfect affected areas to minimize these health hazards.

Q) Can bats return after professional exclusion?

A) When performed correctly by trained professionals, bats typically wonโ€™t return after exclusion. A proper exclusion involves meticulous sealing of all entry points after bats have safely exited, and reputable professionals usually provide warranties guaranteeing results.

Q) Why are bats attracted to certain homes?

A) Bats are drawn to homes that provide accessible entry points, like gaps near roofs, chimneys, vents, and attic openings. Homes near plentiful food sources, such as insects or water, can also attract bats. Professional exclusion addresses these issues by sealing potential entry points.

Q) When is the optimal time to schedule bat exclusion in Ball Ground?

A) The best time to schedule bat exclusion in Ball Ground is during early spring or late summer through fall. This avoids the maternity season, ensuring bats leave safely without separating mothers from their pups, complying with wildlife protection guidelines.
