Bats in the Attic

At Texas Wildlife Specialists, we provide professional and humane bat removal and exclusion services to ensure your attic is bat-free. Bats can be beneficial to the environment, but they don't belong in your home. Our team of experts will safely and effectively remove bats from your attic and prevent them from returning.

Why bat infestations require remediation

Home or business bat infestations can have various repercussions, ranging from structural damage to potential health risks. Common consequences include:

• Structural damage. Bats can roost in attics, walls, and other spaces, causing structural damage over time. Their nesting habits may lead to soiled insulation, stained ceilings, and compromised building materials. When left untreated, guano buildup can exceed hundreds of pounds.
• Guano accumulation. Bat droppings, known as guano, accumulate rapidly. Guano can corrode metal, stain surfaces, and emit a strong odor. The accumulation of guano can also harbor fungi that may lead to respiratory issues in humans.
• Health risks. Bat droppings can carry harmful pathogens, such as bacteria and fungi, which can pose health risks. Inhalation of airborne spores known to contain Histoplasma may lead to respiratory problems such as histoplasmosis.
• Noise and disturbance. Bats are nocturnal. Activities during the night, such as chirping or scratching, can disturb residents' sleep.
• Disease transmission. Bats are potential carriers of diseases such as rabies. Direct contact with bats or their saliva may pose a risk of disease transmission, emphasizing the importance of professional and safe removal.
• Decreased property value. A visible bat infestation can decrease the market value of a property. Potential buyers or tenants may be deterred by the associated structural and health concerns.
