Bat Frequently Asked Questions

Bats often enter attics, chimneys, or wall spaces while searching for a warm, quiet, and dark place to roost, especially during breeding season or colder months.

While most bats are not aggressive, they can carry diseases such as rabies and their droppings (guano) may lead to respiratory issues, making professional removal important.

Common signs include squeaking or fluttering noises at dusk or dawn, droppings around entry points, and dark stains near small openings where bats may be coming and going.

Bat removal is often restricted during maternity season (when baby bats cannot yet fly), to avoid trapping young bats inside. Timing removal properly is essential for humane and legal reasons.

If a bat is flying around indoors, keep calm, close off the room, and contact a wildlife removal professional. Avoid handling the bat yourself for safety reasons.
