Bat Removal in Philadelphia, PA
Bats in the attic, the walls or a bedroom of a Philadelphia home. We let them out with one-way exits and seal the house at the right time of year.
Local knowledge
Bats in Philadelphia
Cornices and chimneys
On older rowhomes, bats often get in under the cornice, around the chimney or where the brick has pulled away from the trim.
The gap may be next door
Bats in your wall can come in through a gap on the house next door. We look along the roofline on both sides before deciding where the exits go.
Houses and apartment buildings
We take bat calls from rowhomes, twins and singles in every part of the city, and from apartment buildings in Center City.

Before we arrive
Until we get there
- If a bat is loose in a room, close the door, open a window and keep children and pets out.
- Do not touch a bat with bare hands.
- If someone may have been bitten, or a bat was found in a room where someone was asleep, call your doctor or the health department.
- Do not seal gaps yourself in summer. Young bats that cannot fly yet would be shut inside.

How the job goes
1 · Find the gaps
We look over the house and, when needed, watch where the bats come out at dusk.
2 · Fit one-way exits
The bats can fly out at night but cannot get back in.
3 · Seal the house
We close the other gaps they could use, then take the exits down and close those gaps last.
Price
What changes the price
We tell you the price of the first visit on the phone before we come out. It depends on your ZIP code.
- How many gaps the bats are using
- How high the roof and the chimney are
- The time of year
- How much of the house needs sealing
