Do You Have a Bat Problem?
Need to Get Rid of Bats in Your Home or Attic?
If you are dealing with bats in the house, bats in the attic, or recurring activity around your property, High Country Wildlife can help determine what is happening and what should be done next.
Schedule a bat inspection to identify entry points, understand the scope of the bat problem, and receive a recommended bat removal and exclusion plan.
Schedule Inspection:
Professional Bat Removal & Exclusion
If you have bats in your attic, bats inside your home, or bats repeatedly entering around the roofline, High Country Wildlife can inspect the property and determine the best way to resolve the problem.
Depending on the property and time of year, your bat control plan may include:
- Professional bat inspection
- Identification of active bat entry points
- Bat species and activity assessment
- One-way bat exclusion
- Bat valves or screen tubes
- Sealing and repairing entry points
- Whole-home exclusion recommendations
- Long-term bat prevention
Our bat removal service goes beyond removing a bat that you can see. We identify how bats are getting into the structure, where they may be roosting, and what other openings could allow them to return.
Our Bat Exclusion & Removal Process
Because bat behavior changes by species, season, migration pattern, and life stage, the right solution is not always immediate removal. We evaluate the property and the timing of the activity before recommending bat exclusion or other next steps.
Inspection
We inspect more than the obvious bat entry point. We look for active openings, signs of roosting, secondary access points, construction gaps, and areas that may allow bats back into the structure.
Findings & Report
We document what we find and explain the type and extent of the bat activity. The inspection may also help determine whether species, seasonal behavior, or migration is affecting the recommended timing.
Recommendations
We provide a recommended plan based on the property, the bat activity, the time of year, and the type of work needed to solve the problem.
Line-Item Estimate
You receive a clear estimate outlining the recommended exclusion, sealing, repair, or related work before the project is scheduled.
Bat Exclusion
Once you approve the recommended bat removal and exclusion plan, we’ll schedule the work for the appropriate time based on the property, bat activity, and seasonal exclusion requirements.
Seal-Up & Prevention
After the bats have safely exited, identified openings and vulnerable areas can be sealed or repaired to reduce the chance of future bat activity.
Bat Exclusion Is Seasonal
Bat Removal and Exclusion Cannot Always Be Performed Immediately
The timing of a bat exclusion matters. During maternity season, female bats may be caring for young bats that are not yet capable of leaving the roost on their own. Young bats must become volant — meaning they are able to fly and leave the roost — before exclusion can safely take place.
Before recommending an exclusion, High Country Wildlife considers:
- Bat species
- Maternity activity
- Whether young bats are volant
- Bat biology and behavior
- Seasonal migration patterns
- Weather and local conditions
- How the bats are using the structure
Montana Bat Exclusion Season
High Country Wildlife does not perform bat exclusions in Montana from June 1 to October 1.
If you discover a bat problem during this period, you do not have to wait to take the first step. We can still inspect your home, identify bat entry points, evaluate the extent of the activity, and prepare a bat exclusion plan so the necessary work can be scheduled during the appropriate exclusion window.
How One-Way Bat Exclusion Works
Professional One-Way Exclusion for Bats
High Country Wildlife uses one-way bat exclusion methods:
- Locate Bat Entry Points: We inspect the home to identify where bats are entering and exiting, along with additional gaps that may provide access.
- Install a One-Way Bat Device: A bat valve, screen tube, or similar one-way exclusion device may be installed over an active opening.
- Allow the Bats to Exit: The device allows bats to leave the structure while preventing them from re-entering through that opening.
- Seal and Repair the Entry Point: Once the exclusion is complete and the bats have safely exited, the opening can be properly sealed or repaired.
Whole-Home Bat Exclusion
One Bat Entry Point May Not Be the Only Problem
If you see bats entering one area of your home, there may be additional openings you cannot easily see from the ground. Bats can access homes through small gaps around: rooflines, soffits, fascia, siding, vents, chimneys, flashing, gaps between building materials, and other openings around the structure.
Closing only the most obvious bat entry point may leave other areas available for bats to use.
That is why High Country Wildlife takes a whole-home bat exclusion approach. During the inspection, we look for both active entry points and other vulnerable areas that may need to be sealed or repaired.
