Bats play an important role in the ecosystem, but when they invade your home, attic, or commercial property, they can pose serious health risks and cause costly damage. At True Guard Pest & Wildlife, we specialize in professional bat removal and exclusion services, ensuring your home stays protected while handling bats safely and legally.
Bats are nocturnal and often go unnoticed until the problem becomes severe. Watch for these warning signs:
✔ Scratching or Fluttering Noises – Especially at night, coming from attics, walls, or chimneys.
✔ Bat Droppings (Guano) – Found near entry points or in attics, bat guano can accumulate quickly and carry harmful pathogens.
✔ Strong Ammonia Smell – A pungent odor caused by accumulated droppings and urine.
✔ Visible Bats – Seeing bats flying near your home at dusk or entering small openings in your roof or vents.
✔ Stains Near Entry Points – Oily marks or discoloration around holes and crevices where bats enter and exit.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to act quickly—bats carry diseases like rabies and histoplasmosis, and their droppings can create serious health hazards.
At True Guard Pest & Wildlife, we use safe, humane, and legal techniques to remove bats and prevent them from returning.
