 We have many years of experience removing live bats from houses and commercial buildings.
Bats are all we do, and as specialists, we are confident we can handle any situation. We are one of the few companies with such confidence in our work that offer warranties
against re-infestation. We have the utmost respect for all wildlife. However, we understand that bats and humans shouldn't live together - so we simply remove the bats from the premises and insure that they do not re-infest your property.
All of our employees receive training, rabies shots, and hands on experience with patented devices used to remove
bats from infested structures.

| Bats provide a very helpful
and necessary service. As the primary predator of nighttime insects, bats serve an important purpose in maintaining the balance of nature. One small brown bat can catch over 1000
mosquito-sized insects in an hour. Large brown bats prey on some of the insects most harmful to crops and gardens. Also, clean bat guano is one of the best fertilizers known.
Bats are social creatures. They live in family groups called colonies. A mature bat colony can have a
population of hundreds or even thousands of bats. They generally establish a nest within easy flying distance of water.
While bats are famous for their sonar
capabilities, they can also see very well. Sadly, due to misinformation and fear, the bat population is in severe decline and many species are now endangered. As the bat
population declines, farmers are forced to use more pesticides. This further upsets the delicate balance of nature.
Bats are nocturnal, sleeping during the day and eating through the night. If you see a bat during the day, it is
quite likely that something is wrong. Bats do not like our
cold winters. Some bats leave for the winter, most hibernate in their nest. Those that leave for the winter, have a migration pattern very similar to that of birds. Each
October, the colony will fly south. In April, these same bats return to their nesting places. If the bats have a nest in your home, they will return to the same corner, the same
spot, year after year. The little brown bat of North America is the world’s longest living mammal for its
size, with a lifespan sometimes exceeding 32 years. With each female having one or two ‘pups’ every spring, the colony gets bigger and stronger every year.
