Our Humane and Compliant Bat Removal Process

In Maine, all bats are protected species. Our licensed team is fully trained in state and local wildlife regulations, ensuring every bat removal in Bangor is performed legally and ethically. This professional approach is essential for both the safety of your home and the humane treatment of the bats.

Our proven four-step process guarantees a permanent solution:

  • Comprehensive Property Inspection We begin by conducting a thorough inspection of your entire property, from the roofline to the foundation. We identify all current and potential bat entry points, assess the colony's activity, and locate any hazardous guano deposits to create a complete action plan.
  • Humane Bat Exclusion We install professional one-way exclusion devices over the primary entry points. These devices allow bats to exit your home naturally but block them from re-entering. This is a 100% humane method that ensures no bats are ever trapped or harmed.
  • Permanent Sealing and Prevention After confirming all the bats have left, we remove the exclusion devices and permanently seal every identified entry point with durable, professional-grade materials. This critical step is the key to preventing bats from ever returning to your home.
  • Cleanup and Restoration If necessary, our team will safely remove any hazardous bat guano and contaminated materials. We then clean and sanitize the affected areas to eliminate harmful bacteria and odors, restoring the space to a safe, healthy condition for you and your family.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I find a bat in my home?

If you find a bat in your home, stay calm and avoid touching it. Close off the area to prevent its escape into other parts of the house. Contact us immediately at (207) 477-7446 for safe and legal management of the situation without harming the bat or violating local laws.

While waiting for professional help, try to gather details such as entry points or any other relevant activity you’ve noticed. This information will assist our technicians in quickly identifying the core of the issue and implementing a practical solution, minimizing stress and time spent in managing the situation.

How can I prevent bats from entering my property?

Preventing bat entry involves sealing all potential access points, such as small cracks and openings in roofs or walls. Regular maintenance and inspections are key. Our team can provide you with a comprehensive prevention plan that includes sealing techniques and guidance to protect your property.

We further promote environmental measures such as erecting bat houses away from the main structures. This alternative habitat encourages bats to roost elsewhere while benefiting from their insect control capabilities. Our environmentally conscious strategies align animal management with ecological responsibility.

Why DIY Bat Removal Is Not an Option

In Maine, all bat species are protected under state law, making it illegal to harm, trap, or kill them. Attempting removal without knowledge of these regulations, including specific blackout periods during maternity season, can easily lead to significant legal penalties and fines for a homeowner.

Handling bats without professional training is also extremely risky. Bats are a primary carrier of rabies, and their droppings, known as guano, can harbor dangerous fungal spores. Disturbing these materials without proper safety equipment can lead to serious respiratory infections like histoplasmosis for you and your family.

Furthermore, DIY methods are typically ineffective. Simply blocking the main entry point often traps bats inside, where they may die in your walls and create a far worse odor and sanitation problem. A professional has the tools and experience to ensure all bats are out before sealing the structure.
