"CLICK HERE FOR AN ASSESSMENT OR ESTIMATE"

Bat removal services are defined by United Bat Control as find the bat in its residential or commercial dwelling, remove the bat from its illegal residence and then exclude the bat in a most environmentally sound and humane way from returning to your home, property or business.

Bats are from the mammal family, the Chiroptera, and fly. Bats have webbed forelimbs, the equivalent of human arms, and they have developed into flying wings, which makes these mammal animals real flyers, the only mammals that are capable of keeping themselves in the air through actual flying. There are lots of mammals that glide for a short distance like squirrels, possums, but only the bat is a flier.

There are over 1,000 types of bats worldwide with 20% of them considered mammals. The majority of bats are insect eaters with the minority of them being fruit eaters. Bats provide a very important environmental service wherever they live pollinating flowers, dispersing fruit seeds and eating insects that may often be hazardous to humans. So the purpose of bat removal is to remove the bat from a house, commercial building or industrial site where the bats are not wanted or could be harmed by their current environment and allow them to find a home where they will not be threatened by human living conditions.

Bats are able to get into a dwelling that has a gap in its outside walls as small as a quarter inch (1/4”) opening. The first activity that a United Bat Control specialist is going to do is inspect the outside exterior of the house, restaurant, office building, fire house or any other dwelling that has bats. The bat removal expert will look to find all of the gaps in the building because it is probable that indwelling bats have used every gap as an entrance into the site. The bat removal expert is going to walk on the roof before the inspection is complete and make sure there are no bat openings there as well. Once the inspection is complete, the process of filling and blocking the gaps begins. There are a variety of different action steps involved, including but not limited to installing vent screens, sealing up the construction gaps, replacing rotted boards and even repairing a brick chimney if necessary.

It is a well known fact that bats go out of their home from dusk to dawn when finding food and feeding themselves and their families. Our bat removal expert will have installed one way exit doors when sealing up the building to insure that the bats cannot return to the dwelling once they leave. They are locked out of your house, your home, your office site and they will find a more suitable home to live in.

Bat Removal - Bat Exclusion

The Bat Removal season is here and it is important that bats be removed before the winter season comes. There is no such thing today as bat extermination, the industry does not advocate killing, but is involved in bat removal and bat exclusion. The removal part entails installing equipment that works with the bats natural living habits with the ultimate aim of removing the bats and at the same time the equipment will prevent them from entering again once they’ve left, which is known as bat exclusion. The interesting point is that whether there are 723 bats in the attic or just one flying through the house, the methods employed by United Bat Control will get rid of your bats and keep them away permanently - and the work will be done safely too.

The first step in the process of protecting your home from bats is to make sure that there are no openings in the house because a bat will enter your home given as little as a one quarter inch opening. An inspection is the first order of business and it can take a specially well trained eye to spot the openings that bats favor for residential and commercial entry. The second step involves making sure every entry point into the building or home has been discovered and then bat control devices will be installed over every single one, eliminating future opportunities for bats to enter.

Bat Removal Techniques Not Endorsed by United Bat Control - Also Known As - Getting Rid of Bats by Amateurs

We read on one Top 10 page in Google that if you have a bat in your house it's a good idea to get all of the family into one room, close the door, and then open every window and door in the rest of the house to allow the bats to escape on its own. If this hadn't been on Google I would have thought it was a farce. This is not the recommended procedure for bat removal because you could be waiting a long time in the living room with no results because there is no action causing all the bats to leave the house, even if this is done in the evening and the expectation is that all the bats will go feeding.

If that wasn't successful, then the amateur page recommended that the home owner get a pair of thick leather gloves and fishing net with the intent of removing the bat with the fishing net. After catching the bat, it then recommended going outside and being very careful in releasing the bat back into the wild.

If you are unable to remove the bat with a fishing net, they then recommended that you search the house and look for where the bats are coming in, in other words, find the hole in the house where the bats are coming in and then plug the hole. Of course, they recommend that this be done in the spring because bats have their children in the Fall and it isn't a good idea to trap baby bats in the house where they have no food and will die.

For bat removal outside the house, the Get Rid of Bats suggestion page is recommending dog or cat repellent. Do not spray the bats directly, as this will cause them to become angry, but spray when the bats are gone from their roost. Why are we going to use poison when there are non-evasive measures that can be taken?

It is easy to see how amateurs are going to cause a problem when removing bats from commercial buildings or residential homes. The easiest, safest and long term most cost effective way to engage in bat removal is to call United Bat Control and let us advise you on the best method and best professionals for getting rid of your bats.

Information About Getting Rabies From Bats

The most frequently asked question is whether or not humans can be rabies from bats. Yes it is possible since bats are the most distinct vertebrate pests that can be found in a house because they do have potential for transmitting rabies. Rabies is a viral infection carried by mammals and are usually transmitted to humans by an infected animal bite. Rabies will not respond to antibiotic therapy and is almost always fatal once the rabies symptoms occur. BUT, since it has a long incubation period which is from 2 weeks to a month or more, getting a prompt vaccination after being bitten can prevent the disease in human beings.
Bats are not asymptomatic carriers of rabies, which is a healthy carrier who shows no signs or symptions of the disease. Bats are carriers and after an incubation period of from 2 weeks to 6 months the bat will become sick with the disease for as long as 10 days. During this ten day period, a rabid bat’s behavior is not normal and it is likely that it will be found active during the day and/or it will be found on the ground unable to fly.
The main reason a human being gets rabies from a bat is due to accidental or careless handling of a grounded bat. Once in a while a human may run across a rabid and get involved in an unprovoked attack by the bat. As the disease progresses for the rabid bat, it becomes increasingly paralyzed and then dies as a result of the infection. The rabid virus in the dead carcass has been found to remain infectious until decomposition of the bat is well advanced.

Educational Information for Bat Preservation

The purpose of bat organizations and animal rights organizations who are involved in providing educational information on bats is to preserve and save the bats from misinformation and a public mislead into thinking that bats are not important to our habitat. Bats are able to exist and flrish throughout the world because they are very successful and proficient as predators of all night flying insects, especially those creatures that fly in our hair and give us the “hee-bee jee-bees” when we don’t want them around. It is estimated that between 60% and 70% of all bats are insectivores, meaning that they are going to eat as many insects as they can catch. Almost any insect that is out and about at night, active in their own pursuit of food, is fair game and a good meal for a bat, including moths, beetles, flies, crickets, gnats, mayflies, mosquitoes and wasps. There are other types of bats that eat a a lot of different foods such as scorpions, fish, fruit, pollen, spiders, arthropods, nectar, small mammals, and non-flying insects for their nightly sustenance.

Approximately ten different species of bats in greater Central America are carnivorous, and these bats prey on small birds, small mammals and/or other bats. One of these other bats, the false vampire Vampyrum spectrum, is a hunter for avian prey using its excellent sense of smell. Other Central American carnivorous bats hunt by listening to prey generated sounds. These carnivorous bats also eat a significant number of arthropods, so it is likely that the carnivorous bats evolved from their insectivorous ancestors.
One genus of American bats, Noctilio, spends time trawling for small fish over the water. This bat uses its hind legs and specialized long toe nails to snag the fish below and then the bat returns to a roost to feed on its captured prey. There are three blood feeding bats. These are known as the famous vampire bats, whose foraging in the woods habits are responsible for giving many other bats a bad reputation and havng put the fear of bats into many human heads. For more information as it relates to bats see Bat Conservation or Animal Diversity.

Bat Removal Method #1

Bat removal is the process of letting bats leave your building, room, attic, barn or one of many living spaces the bats are calling home and leave in a manner that is very safe and non-threatening to the bat. Bats feed outside, as their number one food source is insects, with an occasional bite of fruit when insects are in short supply.


Bats first obligation to themselves is to feed themselves and their family. There are over 1000 types of bats, but only approximately 10 species are interested in feeding on blood. The majority are going to be exclusive insect eaters and after a eating their complete fill on an all night eating binge, they are going to rest and then roost. They will rest hanging from a tree out in the open, exposed to their enemies, because they are acting as a sated species not thinking of their safety, but if they survive this momentary vulnerable action, they are going to roost away from their predator enemies in safe confines.


The 1000 bat removal species of bats that may be carrying rabies will usually roost in dark, quiet, enclosed spaces where they are not going to be disturbed by hungry predators wanting to eat them or bad inclement weather like rain and hurricanes to interrupt their sleep or threaten their breeding. They prefer to live in dry caves and other secluded areas, and they will seek out a barn, an attic, a shed or somewhere else you don't want them to be.


Bat removal services by bat control experts involves finding the bats and then determining the most efficient method for allowing them to escape from your property and then taking action to prevent them from returning once they've successfully left your property. Bat removal experts may choose to install exclusion devices on the bat openings which allow the bats to leave, but not return. After an appropriate amount of time to allow all the bats to leave your building (home, house, barn), the bat removal expert will seal up the bat openings to prevent them from returning after their next meal or during their next mating season.


Never handle bats on your own without gloves and do not attempt to remove their fecal matter without gloves as it may contain disease. When in doubt contact United Bat Control or the Center for Disease Control

A child with rabies, always teach your children to be safe..
We always want to educate and give the latest information on Bat Removal. We saw this story today from the Associated Press. This story in the Miami Hearld talks about a young girl playing with a bat. The story is coming to us from FORT MYERS, Florida where health officials in southwest Florida say they've found a young girl who was seen in a photo playing with a rabid bat, but her parents say she had no contact with it. The issues is that either way we need to educate our children of the dangers of rabies contracted by bats and why they should avoid them completely. The Lee County Health Department said Wednesday it is still looking for three boys who were among the kids at Fort Myers Beach seen playing with a dead bat that later tested positive for rabies. They may need rabies injections. The account goes on to further say that witnesses saw the children, estimated to be between 10 and 12 years old, handling, kissing and playing with the bat.

Search continues for three boys in rabid bat incident.

We have been reporting about how Bat Removal is so necessary for the safety of your family and loved ones. Again we see an article from the Cape Coral Daily Breeze, that reports about the Lee County Health Department and how they are still looking for three boys that came into contact with a rabid bat at Fort Myers Beach on June 15. The main concern is that Health department officials are searching for the boys so that they can begin a series of rabies vaccinations.

Rabies is a fatal disease, and the boys, if they were infected, need to start the rabies shots within 10 days, according to health officials. Lee County Health Department spokeswoman Jennifer James-Mesloh said the health department has partnered with the city of Fort Myers Beach, the Fort Myers Beach Chamber of Commerce, the Visitors and Convention Bureau and the Lee County Parks and Recreation Department in an effort to widen the search for the youths.

Are bat colonies a problem and what should I do if I have a bat removal problem?

As with many bat removal problems we help in taking care of all of your needs. We are also Bat activists where we understand that bats are an essential part of the eco system. Case in point, at Chapman Bay at the Woodard Bay Natural Resource Conservation 2,251 mouse-sized brown bats and Yuma bats flitted from beneath the 3,000-foot-long pier that spans, bound for a night of feeding on aerial insects at Capitol Lake in Olympia and other distant locales. These bats are very important to the eco system. The Olympian reported that a small section of the pier across Chapman Bay is seasonal home to the bats. And some of the log booms beyond the pier are home to the largest harbor seal nursery in South Sound also a variety of species, including juvenile salmon and native Olympia oysters, could benefit from the restoration work, noted Betsy Lyons, a Seattle-based marine conservation project manager for The Nature Conservancy. If you want to know about the Washington area and what cities we service go to our Washington page for more information.
