Brandon Bat Removal

Bats are night-flying creatures so they will likely be visible at night. It can be quite disturbing to see bats flying around your home if they are living in your attic, walls or leaving droppings. Plus, they carry diseases that could potentially hurt people and spread through their waste products, like bat guano.

Once you’ve confirmed a bat problem, it’s time to call for help from experts; if left untreated, these animals can cause serious damage and pose health risks. Although bats look harmless, their guano can be full of harmful spores. This infection can cause histoplasmosis. It is a condition that often causes flu-like symptoms and worsens over time. AAAC Wildlife Removal can help you with any questions or concerns about bat control.

Bat Extermination vs. Bat Removal

It can be frightening to discover that bats are living in your home. You might think of calling pest control to have them exterminated. However, bats cannot be treated like ants or termites, they are protected year-round in Florida, and exterminating them is illegal.

Exclusion is a method of removing bats. First, we find out how bats get in and then seal the openings. Once they have no way of entering, a one-way door will be installed. This allows them to leave, but they cannot re-enter. This is a process that requires experience so it is best to call a qualified professional and let them take care of the bats.

Bat Damage

The insulation and structure of a house can be damaged by bat guano or urine. Bat waste is acidic and can cause wood and drywall to rot. It will also cause stains in the ceiling and walls as well as leave behind an awful odor that is very hard to remove with just regular cleaning products.

Their droppings can harbor dangerous mold spores, which can pose serious health problems for you and your loved ones. To avoid potential health problems and damage to your house, bats must be removed immediately.

Bat Exclusion

The best way of removing bats from your home is to seal off all possible entrances. This is called exclusion. It is done by sealing all holes or openings that are bigger than an inch. Attics, chimneys, roofs are the most common entry points to bats. You can allow bats to exit your home but not return. Once gone, you must seal all potential entrance points permanently to prevent other animals from entering your home.

These entry points may include chimneys, vents, gaps under garage doors or beneath eaves, even holes as tiny as a half-inch. Once these locations have been identified by our bat removal specialist we will take steps to ensure that they are sealed off so no other bats can get inside your home.

Removing Bats in the Attic

Removing bats in attics requires experience and knowledge of the bats’ behaviors and patterns. Our team has extensive training and experience in live bat removal, exclusion, and post-removal cleanup. We use humane methods that will not harm the bats or leave anything that will pose health risks for you and your family.

Our team has years of experience dealing with all sorts of wild animals, and we are fully licensed to remove bats in Brandon homes. Bats should be handled by professionals who are experienced in dealing with them. They are not like other pests that can be killed or swatted away without consequences. If you’ve got a bat infestation on your hands, give AAAC Wildlife Removal a call!

This is how we handle bat exclusions:

  • We spend a great deal of time identifying bat entry points and then sealing them shut
  • We set up one-way doors so that bats can exit but not reenter the building
  • Double check that all bats are excluded and out of your home
  • We then seal all entry points with steel wool or mesh screens to prevent re-entry
  • After this, we go through and do a thorough clean-up of any guano left in the attic or walls.
  • Proceed with replacement of soiled insulation.
  • Repair of wildlife damage, both inside and outside of the home.

The first step we take is to spend a great deal of time identifying bat entry points. Ensuring that there aren’t any other points of entry is essential to prevent future infestations. Next, you will need to install one-way doors that allow bats to exit your home but not return in. This is a humane and safe way to get rid of bats.

To prevent any accidental contact with bats, we double-check that all bats have left your home. We seal all entrance points with steel wool and mesh screens to stop bats from entering again.

Next, clean up with professional-grade cleaners and sanitizers any fecal matter left behind by bats in your insulation and floor. We go through great lengths to ensure that your home is free of any odors and guano. After the insulation is removed, it is necessary to fog with enzyme cleaner in order to disinfect every corner.

Once the attic is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, we look at wildlife damage. We’ll fix any damage they may have done inside or outside of your home to make your house look new again.

Dangers of DIY Bat Removal

Bats have known reservoirs of zoonotic diseases. Zoonotic means that the diseases can be transferred from animals to humans. One of these deadly diseases is rabies. It has been found in bat colonies all over Florida, particularly along the coasts as they have easy access to food sources.

Another source of health hazard is bat guano. Accumulated bat waste once crumbled can release aerosolized spores of the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum which can cause Histoplasmosis, a severe respiratory disease that can be fatal if left untreated.

You should never attempt bat removal on your own if you do not have the proper training or protective gear. It is very easy to get infected by the diseases that bats carry and you do not want to take that risk. Not only is it dangerous for your health but also illegal in most states including Florida where bat removal must be done by a permit holder or licensed professional.

Histoplasmosis

Histoplasmosis can spread via bat droppings to other animals and humans. This disease is especially dangerous to those with a weak immune system such as children, pregnant women, and the elderly.

Histoplasmosis is transmitted by bat droppings and can also be breathed in as spores from dried Guano. These spores are aerosolized by wind and human activity. Histoplasma capsulatum spores can be inhaled and cause flu-like symptoms like fever, headaches, muscle aches, and other symptoms.

If not treated correctly, this condition can cause lung disease. It is crucial that you immediately contact professionals if you suspect there may be bats in your house.
