Bat Removal from Attics in New Port Richey, Florida

Attics are a favorite place for bats in New Port Richey, Florida. They are warm, dry, and secluded enough for them to feel safe.

New Port Richey 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. 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. Bats may look harmless, but their guano is full of dangerous spores that can lead to histoplasmosis – an infection that often leads to flu-like symptoms at first with more severe respiratory issues later on down the road. 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. Bats, however, cannot be treated like termites or ants, they are protected and cannot be simply exterminated.

Exclusion is a method of removing bats. 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 not reenter. 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 can also stain ceilings and walls, as well as leave behind an unpleasant odor that can be difficult to get rid of with 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. 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 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 they are gone, you need to permanently seal off all possible entry points so other animals cannot access 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

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 extensive experience with wild animals and is licensed to handle bat removals in New Port Richey 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. 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. After which we seal all entry points with steel wool or mesh screens to prevent the bats from re-entering.

Next is to do a thorough clean-up using professional-grade cleaners and sanitizers for any fecal matters left behind by the bats in your home’s floor and insulation. 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.

After the attic has been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected we can begin to 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 a disease that can be transmitted 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 guano can release spores of Histoplasma capsulatum, which can cause a severe respiratory disease called Histoplasmosis.

Those who don’t have the right training and protective gear, should not attempt to remove bats on their own. 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 but it is also illegal in many states, including Florida. Bat removal must be performed by a licensed professional or permit holder.

Histoplasmosis

Histoplasmosis is a fungal disease that can be transmitted to humans and other animals via bat droppings. This disease can be especially dangerous for those with weak immune systems, such as children and pregnant women.

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. 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.
