Florida Bat Removal Services
Bats entering your Florida home or business can quickly become a serious problem—especially during the warm, humid months when colonies grow rapidly. Our professional bat removal specialists use proven, humane exclusion techniques to safely remove bats from attics, soffits, chimneys, vents, and structural gaps common in Florida homes. Bats only need a tiny opening to enter a building, where female colonies raise their young and leave behind large amounts of guano.
Our team installs custom one-way exclusion devices that allow the entire colony to leave safely without re-entering, ensuring no bats are trapped or harmed. This prevents dead bats, foul odors, and severe sanitation issues. After removal, we seal all entry points to ensure bats cannot return.
Bats in Florida are known carriers of rabies, and contact with bat guano poses respiratory and health hazards such as Histoplasmosis. Never touch a bat found inside or near your home. With over 20 years of bat remediation expertise, we provide safe, reliable, and long-lasting solutions. Call today for a full inspection and professional bat removal service.
Bat Quick Facts
- Florida is home to 13 native bat species, including the Brazilian free-tailed bat, evening bat, Seminole bat, and big brown bat.
- Bats are nocturnal, feeding throughout the night and returning to roost at dawn.
- Large colonies in attics may release guano, dander, and microorganisms into air systems, creating airborne contaminants and health risks.
- Florida’s warm climate allows bat colonies to remain active most of the year and expand quickly.
- Wildlife experts strongly advise against removing bats yourself—bats can carry rabies, and mishandled guano can cause severe respiratory illness.
If you believe bats are roosting in your home, contact us immediately for safe, professional bat removal in Florida.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Is it legal to remove bats in Florida?
Yes—however, Florida prohibits bat exclusion during maternity season (April 16 to August 14) when young bats are unable to fly. Professional removal ensures compliance with state wildlife laws.
2. Do bats damage homes?
While bats do not chew through wood or wiring, their urine and guano cause staining, odor, and structural damage over time. Guano buildup can also create hazardous air quality.
3. Can I remove bats myself?
No. DIY bat removal is dangerous and often illegal during certain months. Mishandling bats can lead to exposure to rabies or Histoplasmosis from guano. Always use licensed professionals.
4. How do you keep bats from coming back?
After exclusion, we perform full bat-proofing, sealing cracks, gaps, soffit openings, and vents—ensuring your home remains fully protected.
5. What are signs I may have bats?
- Scratching or fluttering sounds in walls or attic
- Strong ammonia-like odors
- Guano piles near entry holes
- Bats exiting the roofline at dusk
Seasonal Tips for Florida Bat Activity
Spring (March–April)
Bats begin forming maternity colonies. Activity increases around attics and soffits. Schedule early inspections before the legal blackout period begins.
Summer (May–August)
This is maternity season, and removal is restricted. If you suspect activity, call immediately—we can prepare work for when the exclusion window opens.
Fall (September–November)
Prime time for bat exclusion and sealing. Bats seek warm shelter at night, making homes especially vulnerable.
Winter (December–February)
Bats remain active in Florida’s mild winters. Ideal season for inspections, guano cleanup, and long-term prevention.
