The reason to get rid of bats in your house or building is simple. Bat removal is also simple… if you know what you have the knowledge and training.
Gladstone Bat Removal – Step One
The first step in bat removal is to, well, remove the bats. Here’s what we do.
We’ll do a thorough inspection of your home to find where the bats are getting in and out. Then we’ll put bat control items in place over the entry and exit points. These items allow the bats to leave, but they can’t come back in.
Gladstone Bat Removal – Step Two
Once enough time has passed to make sure all the bats have left the building, step two goes into effect. This is just a matter of completely sealing the all of the entry points we discovered during the inspection.
The time it takes for the bats to leave is different depending on the time of year. When the weather is warm, bats are active, so the time it takes only a short period of time to clear the building. The reverse is true when the weather is colder.
We’re not bat exterminators. Using poison to kill bats could create a big mess in your attic if you have a large colony of them. And, as stated above, it is illegal.
Our method of bat exclusion is a much safer and more humane way to remove bats.
