Process Of Removing Bats From The Attic

Step #1 – Inspection: During the bat inspection we locate entry points & evaluate working conditions for the exclusion process.

Step #2 – Bat Proofing: Every nook and cranny of the building must be sealed up, except for the entrance bats are using.

Step #3 – Bat Exclusion: We use one-way doors to evict bats outside the home and they cannot get back in, hence “one-way door.”

Step #4 – Guano Cleanup: Bats tend to leave a lot of droppings, which is why we offer bat guano cleanup and attic restoration.
