Gentle Bat Exclusion & Structural Sealing

Why Trapping and Killing Bats Does Not Work

Attempting to trap, poison, or kill bats is not only highly illegal under North Carolina law, but it is also completely counterproductive. Here is why:

• The Vacant Entryway: If you remove bats but leave the structural gaps open, the scent of the colony remains. New bats will quickly discover the entry points and move in, starting the cycle all over again.
• Starving Pups: If a mother bat is trapped or killed during pup-rearing season, her flightless babies are left to starve inside your walls. This is not only inhumane, but it also creates severe odor, decay, and sanitation issues within your home.
• Destruction of Insect-Eaters: Bats are essential pollinators and insect controllers. Protecting them keeps WNC gardens and neighborhoods healthy.

How Our Safe Exclusion Works

Because bats cannot be legally relocated off-site, our licensed Wildlife Control Agents use custom-fit one-way exit valves. These allow the bats to safely exit the building at night to forage. When they return, they find their entry points gently blocked. Once the colony has safely exited, we permanently seal the gaps (fascia boards, gable vents, ridge caps) with rust-proof galvanized steel mesh and animal-proof sealants.

Compassionate Attic Cleanup & Sanitization

To address leftover guano safely, our technicians use a biological wet-misting sanitization process. By spraying a gentle wetting agent, we prevent microscopic fungal spores (which can cause histoplasmosis) from becoming airborne. We then remove the material and apply bio-enzymatic deodorizers that completely break down scent trails, ensuring your attic smells clean and does not attract other wildlife.
