Bat Information

 

Bats are natural reservoirs or vectors for many pathogens such as rabies, SARS, and possibly Ebola virus.

What are these Bats?

The most common bats in our area are called little brown bats. They generally brown and black in color and similar in size to a mouse.

Are they dangerous?

Bats are natural vectors for many pathogens including rabies. In addition, bats can carry bat bugs (similar to bedbugs) and fleas. Direct contact with bats should be avoided.

So why do I have them?

Just like us, bats need a good home. They feed during the evening and night hours, then roost in warm area during the day. This can include attics, behind shutters, soffits, etc. Having a bat problem is generally by chance.

How do you get rid of them?

Getting rid of bats can be a tricky and dangerous task. It requires extensive bat knowledge as well as construction and safety know-how. That's why our service includes the necessary eviction, exclusion and cleanup services needed, for one fee. Our method consist of the following:

Initial Service - Detailed inspection of the entire structure identifying areas of activity and entry points. All entry points with the exception of one or two are sealed. One way devices are installed to allow the bats to get out, but not back in.

Follow up - A follow up is scheduled within 14 days of the initial service. During this service, the remaining areas are sealed, and if elected, the cleanup procedure is started. This includes removal of droppings and contaminated insulation. The area is then disinfected and treated for bat bugs and fleas. If desired, new insulation is then blown in.

Is the treatment safe?

EnviroPest uses the least amount of material as possible while still resolving the problem. We utilize natural products, baits, and mechanical means as a form of treatment as much as possible. When conventional materials are required, we follow very stringent guidelines for the use of the product so that is poses no threat to people or pets. All products are registered by the EPA. Our service technicians will inform you of any specific safety measures that need to be taken.

How soon can you get here?

We take all pest problems seriously and are committed helping you ASAP. In most cases, we can respond the same or very next day.

How much does it cost?

Pricing for bat removal starts at $450 based on normal conditions, however, bat removal jobs are usually bid due to the complexity of the job and materials required.

What is the warranty?

This service comes with a one year warranty on repairs made and bats returning inside, from the date of completion.
