Land O Lakes Bat Removal

Bats are nocturnal creatures, so you’ll likely spot them flying around your home 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. They can also transmit diseases such as bat guano, which could cause serious health problems to people.

Once you have confirmed that there is a problem with bats, it’s time for experts to help. If left untreated, these animals could cause severe damage and pose serious 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. If you have any questions about bat control or handling of a bat problem, contact AAAC Wildlife Removal for information and assistance.

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. Bats, however, cannot be treated like termites or ants, they are protected and cannot be simply exterminated.

To remove bats we employ a process called exclusion. We first find out where the bats are getting inside and seal those openings shut. A one-way door is installed once they are no longer able to enter. This allows them to leave, but they cannot re-enter. This process is not for the faint of heart so It is best to contact a professional who has experience in this field.

Bat Damage

Bat guano and urine can damage the insulation and structure of the house. 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.

In addition, their droppings make a perfect home to dangerous mold spores that can cause serious health issues for you and your family. It is important that bats be removed as soon as possible to avoid health risks and damage to your home.

Bat Exclusion

The best way of removing bats from your home is to seal off all possible entrances. This process is called exclusion. This is accomplished by sealing any holes or openings larger than one 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. After these areas have been identified by our bat specialist, we will take steps for sealing them off to prevent other bats from entering your home.

Removing Bats in the Attic

Experience and knowledge are required to remove bats from attics. Our team has extensive training and experience in live bat removal, exclusion, and post-removal cleanup. We use humane methods to remove bats and leave no trace that could pose a health risk for you or your family.

Our team has years of experience dealing with all sorts of wild animals, and we are fully licensed to remove bats in Land O Lakes homes. Bats need to be removed by experienced professionals who know how best to handle them: they’re not like other pests that can just be swatted away or poisoned without consequence. AAAC Wildlife Removal is available to help you if you have a bat problem.

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. The next step involves the installation of one-way doors to allow the bats out, but not back in again – this is a safe and humane method of removing the bats from your house without harming them.

We then double-check that all bats are out of your home to prevent accidental contact with any bat that may have been missed. 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. To make your house look new again, we’ll repair any damage they might have caused.

Dangers of DIY Bat Removal

Bats are a reservoir of zoonotic diseases. Zoonotic means a disease that can be transmitted to humans. Rabies is one of these dangerous diseases and it has been found in bats all around Florida, especially along the coastlines where bat colonies are very dense because 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.

Those who don’t have the right training and protective gear, should not attempt to remove bats on their own. It is easy to become infected with the diseases bats carry. You don’t want to risk it. 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 is a fungal disease that can be transmitted to humans and other animals via bat droppings. This disease is especially dangerous to those with a weak immune system such as children, pregnant women, and the elderly.

In addition to being transmitted through contact with bat droppings, histoplasmosis can also be inhaled as spores from dried guano that have been aerosolized by wind or human activity. Inhalation of histoplasma capsulatum spore leads to an infection that causes flu-like symptoms such as fever, headaches, and muscle aches.

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.

FAQs

Are bats protected in Florida?

Bats are protected species in Florida and it is illegal to harm them and disturb their roosting sites. Professionals should be able to remove bats from your home. We can do an exclusion process to get rid of the bats without harming them.

What is guano?

Guano is bat feces or droppings. These droppings can cause Histoplasmosis, a disease that is caused by breathing in dried guano dust. Ceilings can be stained if bats have lived there for a while.

Is guano harmful?

Yes. Yes. If left untreated, histoplasmosis can lead to death from breathing in the dust made up of dried bat feces. Removing them by yourself is not recommended as you may contract the disease.

Is it safe for me to remove bats?

Most people will try removing these creatures themselves due to cost – please don’t do this as it’s incredibly dangerous; bats are known carriers of rabies and other zoonotic diseases(human transferable). 

It’s not worth the risk to try and remove them on your own as the health risks are too great. You must also remember that permits are required to handle these animals in any type of relocation. We highly recommend having a professional handle the job instead of attempting it yourself as the time taken is way less than medical expenses and other costs that come with contracting these diseases from bats.
