Bats look for warm places to live and often pic the attics of our homes. They live in large colonies that often include hundreds of bats. They leave behind urine and guano, or droppings, that can cause damage to a house, a foul odor, and possibly even health problems in humans.
Bats Need to Be Excluded (a process done to keep animals out) from an Attic
If you have bats living in the attic of your Sarasota home, you should not try to kill or poison them because that is illegal. Repellents are also generally ineffective when used to get rid of bats. The most effective and humane way to deal with a bat problem is with a live exclusion. This needs to be done carefully and precisely. You should only trust professionals like Miller’s Wildlife Services
How a Bat Exclusion Works
We will start off by inspecting your house to figure out how the bats are getting into your attic and how extensive the damage is.
The bats are probably using several entry points to get into your attic. Bats can squeeze in through tiny openings as small as ½ inch. We will need to find all of those areas, so they can be sealed off. We will seal off the non-primary entry points first and then use a device to exclude the bats and keep them from returning through the primary entry point.
We will install a one-way exclusion device on the primary entry/exit point. Depending on the design of your house, we may decide to use screening, a funnel, or a cone. An exclusion device will allow the bats to fly out but will prevent them from flying back in. It is critical to place the exclusion device exactly right for it to work correctly.
After all the bats have been excluded from your attic, we will seal off the entry hole where we placed the exclusion device. Bats will remember that they once lived in your attic and may try to get back in for a long time. Therefore, it is essential to seal off all of the entry points.
