BAT REMOVAL & CONTROL

FACTS ABOUT CALIFORNIA BATS

Bats can inhabit an area quickly and make a mess. They like to enter into attic spaces or any upper-level void areas. Bat removal techniques encompass a spectrum of approaches tailored to specific contexts and objectives. Non-lethal methods include habitat modification, installation of exclusion devices like bat boxes, cones or netting, and behavioral deterrents to encourage bats to relocate voluntarily. These strategies emphasize coexistence and long-term conservation goals.

California is home to a diverse array of bat species, with over 25 different types found in the state. From the tiny Western Pipistrelle to the majestic Pallid Bat, these nocturnal mammals thrive in the warm climate and abundant food sources that Southern California provides. However, their penchant for roosting in dark, secluded spaces can lead them into conflict with humans.

In cases where urgent removal is warranted due to health concerns or property damage, we may employ capture-and-release methods, guided by stringent ethical guidelines and legal protocols. Such measures prioritize the welfare of both bats and humans, seeking to mitigate conflicts while upholding wildlife protection standards.

BATS & THE RISKS THEY POSE | BAT BITES & DISEASES THEY CARRY

One of the primary concerns for homeowners is the potential danger of bat bites. While bats are not inherently aggressive towards humans, they may bite if they feel threatened or are handled improperly. What’s more alarming is that some bats carry rabies, a viral disease that can be transmitted through a bite or scratch. In fact, according to the California Department of Public Health, bats are the most common source of rabies in humans in the United States, with the majority of cases occurring through bat bites.

Aside from the health risks, bats can also cause structural damage to homes. Their droppings, known as guano, contain acidic compounds that can corrode wood and other materials, leading to costly repairs. Additionally, the accumulation of guano can attract other pests and create unpleasant odors.
