Florida is home to thirteen species of bats that are either year-round or seasonal residents. Some form colonies and some roost alone. Bats eat a variety of things, but those commonly found in Florida eat insects.

Our knowledge of construction and pest control gives us the unique ability to effectively find and exclude the bats, without major damage to the structure and no harm to the bats. We give our customers’ peace of mind that the bats and their droppings are gone.

We conduct exclusions by positioning one-way devices at the locations where bats are emerging from their roost. The one-way devices allow the bats to exit, but prevent them from re-entering.

Physically capturing bats and relocating them is almost never successful because they are often hiding in areas of the building that are not accessible. Even if bats are in an open area, attempts to capture them will likely cause them to flee into inaccessible places. Trapping bats as they exit a building does not work either, because bats are frequently injured or killed in the process of being captured and transported to a new location. Bats moved to another location will almost always return to their old roost, even if it requires flying many miles. Trapping bats is illegal in Florida.

Exclusion techniques have been developed over the years and, when properly applied, are almost always successful on the first attempt. If it is later discovered an entrance point was missed, an exclusion can be re-conducted for that area.
