How to Get Rid of Bats From the Attic?
Step 1: Home inspection of the roof, perimeter of the home, chimney, and attic to determine where the colony of bats are roosting or entering into the home or attic. During your bat inspection we can determine if you need any additional work other than getting rid of bats. Mice, birds, bat guano clean up, etc.
Step 2: Live bat removal through a "Live Bat Exclusion". For bats we use a one-way door system. Bats can get out, but not back in. There are many ways for a one-way door system but they must be installed precisely or they wont work. You can either use a bat tube or netting to evict the bats from the attic. We recommend using an open airway system versus using a flapper or a hinge door device. Once these animals are out, we want to make sure they can't get back in. We seal all areas with a galvanized hardware cloth, ridge guard, solar seal, etc. We give a full five year warranty on all repairs, NO BATS!
Step 3: In approximately 15-30 days after the installation of the bat doors and sealing of the home, we come back to your home to make sure all of your bats are gone and the repairs are in good condition. At this time we remove all one-way door devices off your home. Generally bats will leave your home with in less than a week, but it is important to make sure all of the bats are gone. For this reason we leave your one way doors up for an exaggerated period of time to make sure there aren't any bats left behind.
Step 4: Bat guano removal and attic restoration. This is a step that doesn't always need to be done, but to insure there aren't any airborne bacteria or fungi left behind,f sometimes we need to clean up the bat droppings. This can be as simple as a spot cleaning, because the roosting piles may be very minimal. In order to make sure all of the droppings through out the insulation are removed you may require a full service attic restoration and insulation removal.
