Suwanee Bat Removal & Exclusion Services

If bats have found their way into your attic, chimney, or walls, our Suwanee Bat Removal specialists provide bat exclusion to keep your home safe. While bats help control insect populations, their presence indoors can result in bat guano buildup, bat infestations, and structural damage. Over time, bat droppings can lead to health concerns, including airborne fungal spores linked to Histoplasmosis.

We provide bat removal services in Laurel Springs, Rivermoore Park, Edinburgh, and Olde Atlanta Club, using proven methods to remove bat colonies and seal entry points to prevent future infestations. If youโ€™ve noticed bat droppings near vents, scratching noises at dusk, or a strong ammonia-like odor around Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road, or McGinnis Ferry Road, contact us today for bat control in Suwanee and surrounding areas.

10 Year Bat Warranty on Bat Exclusions

STEPS FOR SUWANEE 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) we will either hand remove the bats 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.

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 an entry point.  Bats are super territorial so they will keep trying. As a part of a typical bat exclusion the gable vents & siding trim gaps are the most common entry points. Bat exclusion is a part of a “Full Home Exclusion” which is performed when someone has issues with rats, squirrels or other wildlife species which gain entry in other common wildlife entry points. Those areas typically include the construction gap, soffit returns, ridge vent, utility chases and other various entry points.

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.

Bats commonly enter buildings through openings associated with the roof edge and valleys, eaves, apex of the gable, chimney, attic or roof vent, dormers, and siding trim gaps. Other openings may be found under loose-fitting doors, around windows, gaps around various conduits (wiring, plumbing, air conditioning) that pass through walls, and through utility vents.  However, about 90% of our bat removal jobs are in the gable vents alone. We only seal what we feel is necessary to keep the bats out & to-date we have never had a breach in our bat exclusion work.

Suwanee, Georgia Bat Removal FAQs

Q) What are the most common signs that bats are in my attic?

A) Some indicators of a bat infestation include dark staining around vents, chirping or fluttering noises at dusk and dawn, and piles of guano (bat droppings) near entry points. If you see bats flying near your home at sunset, they could be roosting inside.

Q) Why do homes in Moore Road and Wild Timber tend to attract bats?

A) These neighborhoods have a mix of wooded areas, water sources, and large homes with attic space, creating ideal roosting locations. If homes have unsealed vents, soffits, or construction gaps, bats can take advantage of these openings.

Q) Can bats squeeze into small openings in my home?

A) Yes! Bats can fit through gaps as small as ยฝ inch. A professional exclusion process identifies and seals these entry points to prevent infestations.

Q) What kinds of sounds do bats make inside a house?

A) Bats donโ€™t gnaw or scratch destructively like rodents, but they do make fluttering, chirping, and light rustling sounds, especially when they return to their roost at dawn or prepare to leave at dusk.

Q) I see bats flying near Sims Lake Park at nightโ€”should I be worried?

A) Not necessarily. Bats naturally hunt mosquitoes and other insects, so they are often seen flying near parks and wooded areas. However, if you notice them entering and exiting a specific part of your home, you may have an infestation.

Q) What should I do if I find a bat inside my home?

A) Stay calm and avoid direct contact. Close all interior doors and open a window or exterior door so the bat can exit on its own. If the bat does not leave or if someone may have been exposed, contact a professional wildlife removal company and the local health department.

Q) Is bat removal regulated by law?

A) Yes, but it must be done humanely and in accordance with federal and state regulations. Bats are a protected species, and removal must follow specific guidelines to ensure their safety.

Q) What is bat exclusion, and why is it necessary?

A) Exclusion is the only humane and effective way to remove bats. It involves installing one-way bat valves that allow bats to leave but not return. Once all bats have exited, professionals seal entry points to prevent re-entry.

Q) How long does the bat removal process take?

A) If bats are only roosting in a vent, removal may be completed in a single day. However, if they have established a colony inside the attic, a one-way bat valve must remain in place for about a week before the home is sealed.

Q) Do bats cause structural damage to homes?

A) Yes. Over time, bat colonies can cause damage due to guano buildup, urine stains, and persistent ammonia odors. Their droppings can also attract insects and contaminate insulation.

Q) When is the best time to remove bats?

A) The best time for exclusion is outside of the maternity season, which lasts from May through August in Georgia. During this time, baby bats are not flighted, so removal is not allowed.

Q) Will bats come back after exclusion?

A) Not if the exclusion process is done correctly. Professionals seal all known and potential entry points, ensuring that bats cannot regain access to the structure.

Q) Should I be concerned if my neighbor in Edinburgh or Grand Cascades has bats?

A) Yes. If bats are removed from one home, they will look for a new roosting site nearby. Homes with similar attic designs or unsealed vents may be at risk.

Q) Are bats dangerous to humans or pets?

A) Bats are not aggressive, but they can carry rabies, and their droppings may contain Histoplasmosis spores, which can cause respiratory infections. If a bat is found inside a living space where someone was asleep, it should be captured and tested for rabies.

Q) How much does bat removal typically cost?

A) Pricing depends on factors such as entry points, attic size, roof height, and whether a one-way bat valve is needed. Most professional services range from $500 to $2,000, with long-term warranties included.
