Humane, professional bat exclusion for homes and businesses. We safely remove bat colonies and seal your home so they don't return — backed by our 2-year warranty.
Bats are a unique challenge. They're protected wildlife in Illinois, which means they can't be trapped or harmed. The only legal and effective approach is humane exclusion — allowing bats to leave on their own, then sealing the entry points so they can't return.
We start with a detailed inspection of your roof, attic, soffits, and gable vents — the most common entry points for bats. We identify every gap (bats can squeeze through openings as small as 3/8 inch), assess the colony size, and plan the exclusion timeline.
We install one-way exclusion devices that let bats fly out at dusk but prevent them from re-entering. Once the colony has fully departed, we remove the devices and permanently seal every opening. We also offer guano cleanup to address the health hazards left behind.
Bats flying at dusk
Seeing bats leave your roofline at sunset is the clearest sign of a colony roosting inside your home.
Guano (droppings)
Dark, pellet-like droppings that accumulate below entry points or in attic spaces. Bat guano has a distinct look and crumbles easily.
Strong ammonia smell
Bat urine and guano produce a sharp, pungent odor — especially noticeable in attics during warm weather.
Staining around entry points
Dark, oily stains around gaps in soffits, fascia boards, or gable vents from repeated bat traffic.
Scratching or squeaking
High-pitched noises or light scratching sounds coming from attic spaces, usually at dusk or dawn.
Bat inside your home
Finding a bat flying or resting inside living spaces is a sign they have a route from the attic or walls into your home.
Bats are protected under Illinois wildlife law. It's illegal to kill or trap them, and exclusion work is restricted during maternity season (May 15 through August 15) when flightless pups may be present. Attempting DIY bat removal can violate state law and make the problem worse.
Bat guano also poses real health risks. It can harbor histoplasma capsulatum, a fungus that causes the respiratory illness histoplasmosis. Professional cleanup with proper protective equipment is essential — especially in enclosed spaces like attics.
We handle every step: inspection, exclusion device installation, monitoring, permanent sealing, and guano cleanup if needed. Our work is backed by a 2-year warranty.
