Trinity Bat Removal
Bats are nocturnal creatures, so you’ll likely spot them flying around your home at night. If there’s a colony living in your attic or walls and leaving droppings behind, it can be pretty disturbing to see them flying around your house. Plus, they carry diseases that could potentially hurt people and spread through their waste products, like bat guano.
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. 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. 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. However, bats cannot be treated like ants or termites, they are protected year-round in Florida, and exterminating them is illegal.
To remove bats we employ a process called exclusion. 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 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
Bat guano and urine can damage the insulation and structure of the house. Bat waste is acidic and will rot wood and drywall. 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. 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 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. After the exclusion process, you can use a one-way door to allow the bats to leave but not get back in. 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.

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.
Bat guano is also another source of health risks. Accumulated bat guano can release spores of Histoplasma capsulatum, which can cause a severe respiratory disease called Histoplasmosis.
You should never attempt bat removal on your own if you do not have the proper training or protective gear. 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 can spread via bat droppings to other animals and humans. This disease can be especially dangerous for those with weak immune systems, such as children and pregnant women.
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.
