About Bats
In Pennsylvania, the little brown bat is the species most likely to take up residence in attics. These bats often form large maternal colonies, which can create significant messes from their droppings (guano). While bats play a valuable role in controlling insect populations, their droppings can pose health risks, including respiratory issues in humans. Our team specializes in humane bat control, ensuring these important creatures are safely removed without harm. Bats are a common nuisance for homeowners in Pennsylvania.

What to look for
Signs of bats
- Bats flying out of the roof or the chimney around dusk
- Small dark droppings on windowsills, siding or the attic floor
- Dark stains around a small gap at the roof edge
- Squeaking or rustling in a wall in the evening
- A bat inside the house
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.
What we do
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.
At the property
What we check
- The roof edge, fascia and trim
- Around the chimney and the flashing
- Attic vents, louvers and ridge vents
- Droppings and stains that show where they go in
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
Questions people ask
Questions about bat removal
Does one bat in the house mean there is a colony?
Not always. One bat can come in by mistake. Bats leaving the roof every evening, or droppings in the attic, mean a colony.
Can you trap the bats?
No. Bats are let out through one-way exits and then the house is sealed. That is the safe way, and it keeps them out.
Why does the time of year matter?
In early summer, mother bats have young that cannot fly. Sealing the house then would trap them inside, so we plan the sealing for when they can fly.
Are bats dangerous?
Bats can carry rabies. Do not handle one, and call a doctor if someone may have been bitten or scratched.
