Bat & Bird Control
Bat & bird control are a very specialized part of our industry. Bat & bird problems can cause extensive damage with their droppings. It requires specialized training, equipment, techniques, attention to detail, and extensive knowledge of bat & bird biology and behavior.
​
Effective bat control requires a full site inspection and 100% of the structure must be properly sealed, including gaps as small as 1/4 inch wide. This can obviously become quite labor intensive. In some instances the primary entrance or exit holes are the only access points available and basic repairs and an exclusion may be sufficient but many times there are areas that only experienced bat removalists would know.
Once the bats are removed exclusion work must be completed to prevent the bats from returning to the roost site. All of our exclusion methods are done with the bats safety as a top priority. It is important to note that bats are a protected species and very beneficial to the environment.

Chimney swifts are federally protected migratory birds, so they cannot be removed or disturbed while they are actively nesting. We handle chimney swift issues in accordance with federal protections, performing removal and exclusion work at the appropriate time once the birds have finished nesting and migrated.
Health Hazards Associated with Bird and Bat Droppings
Health Risks from bats and birds can be very serious.
Large populations of roosting birds may present the risk of disease to people nearby.
​
The most serious health risks arise from disease organisms that can grow in the nutrient rich accumulations of droppings, feathers and debris. External parasites can also become a problem when infested birds or bats leave the roosts or nests. The parasites can then invade buildings and bite people.
