Bat Removal
Bat removal is the removal of bats from areas where they harm property or crops. This usually requires specialized tools and knowledge of safely contacting and removing the bats. The bats might be on your property or in your house.
There are many different bat removal methods, but the right way will depend on the type of bat. The most common bat species that we deal with at Advanced Wildlife Removal is the little brown bat.
Different species can be found in various environments, from warm areas to moderately cold climates. If you have bats in your home or office, it’s best to hire a professional removal company to address the situation, as some are endangered and protected under Virginia law.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU FIND A BAT IN YOUR HOUSE
1. CONTINUOUSLY MONITOR YOUR HOME
If a bat is found in your living spaces or on your property, such as in the attic or a building, it can be helpful to put up sheets of aluminum or plastic at potential entry points. This way, you can identify and monitor other bats that come and go.
If you see cracks large enough for a bat to get through, you can seal those cracks with caulk. Our wildlife removal experts can also install one-way doors on top of these active entry points to ward off any potential bats.

3. INSTALL AN ALTERNATIVE BAT HABITAT
This option may be worth considering if you dont have bats in your attic, but they are located on your property. Bats cause property damage. Our control methods can keep them from gaining access to your home through ridge vents or attic vents.
If you install alternative roosting locations outside your home, watch for signs of bats and make sure that no young bats are moving about. If another adult bat does move into the house, keep an eye on it and place trapping devices around the perimeter of the building to capture this bat.
4. BAT NET INSTALLATION
These are relatively new netting systems that capture bats without causing them harm. This can be a very effective way to prevent bats from entering your home or commercial buildings, as long as the problem does not involve the bats roosting in the attic.
A bat net will be used sparingly if a large colony of bats roosts inside your house. A professional bat removal service could get rid of the bats for you.
5. IMPLEMENT A BAT CONE BAT DETERRENT
These devices are usually placed on top of the peak in the attic. These devices will create a barrier preventing the bats from entering your home or commercial building. They are very effective but can be time-consuming and challenging to use if you have multiple bat roosting sites in your home or building.
Advanced Wildlife Removal is a great choice if you want to eliminate bats without causing them any harm.
6. ALTER THE TEMPERATURE
Most experts recommend a temperature of 70°F to 82°F. The bats are more comfortable at this temperature, so they will not want to enter the living area. If you do not have bats in your attic, you can reduce the temperature by installing insulation around your furnace and ductwork (some people prefer hard-sided vapor barriers too).
