Our Longwood Bat Removal Process
Our Longwood Bat Removal process is humane, thorough, and compliant with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) regulations.
Step 1: Full Inspection
We perform a detailed inspection of:
- Roofing edges
- Soffits and fascia
- Gable vents and ridge vents
- Chimneys
- Attic interior
- Guano accumulation spots
We identify both primary entry points and secondary vulnerabilities.
Step 2: Custom Exclusion Devices
We install one-way bat exclusion devices that allow the colony to exit safely. Bats can leave through the device but cannot re-enter.
This method ensures:
- No bats are harmed
- No bats are trapped inside
- No bats are separated from flight-ready juveniles
Step 3: Sealing All Entry Points
Once the colony has fully left (usually 3–7 nights depending on weather), our Longwood Bat Removal team seals:
- Roofline gaps
- Cracks in stucco
- Open soffits
- Gaps in vents
- Chimney openings
- Any structural vulnerabilities
We use professional-grade materials designed to withstand Florida humidity, heat, storms, and insects.
Step 4: Guano Cleanup & Attic Restoration
Bat guano builds up quickly in warm Florida attics, creating odor and health hazards.
Our Bat Removal cleanup includes:
- Guano removal and sanitation
- Insulation removal (if heavily contaminated)
- Replacement of damaged insulation
- Odor neutralization
- Decontamination of affected surfaces
This leaves your attic safe, clean, and restored to healthy conditions.
Seasonal Bat Activity
Understanding local bat seasons helps determine the best time for Bat Removal.
Spring – Maternity Season Begins (April 15 – August 15)
During this period, it is illegal to exclude bats in Florida because baby bats cannot fly yet. Attempting Bat Removal during this time risks trapping them inside, which causes severe odor and structural issues.
Summer – Peak Colony Growth
Bats remain active throughout the night and colonies grow in size.
Fall – Prime Bat Removal Season
From mid-August through early April, exclusion is legal, making this the best time for permanent Bat Removal.
Winter – High Activity Nights
Florida winters are mild, so bats stay active and continue returning to established roosts.
