Bats

Do you have a colony of bats calling your attic home? Superior Wildlife Services is a Gainesville bat removal company and we are here to make your bat problems a thing of the past.

We are not exterminators, (as bats are federally protected) so we will use humane tried and proven approved methods to exclude any potential and existing access points with our Gainesville bat exclusion and control services so they are unable to reenter the home. While bats are an important part of the ecosystem, they can be a nuisance. But we are here to ensure they quit causing you grief once and for all.

Florida’s 13 native bat species typically roost in trees, caves or other natural spaces, but they may also be attracted to man-made structures. Fall is the best time to exclude bats from your home or other structures because maternity season, which occurs from April 15 to August 15, has ended. During maternity season, it is illegal to install exclusion devices, which allow bats to exit, but block them from returning to their roosts. During the Fall, no young are present, making it the ideal time to evict any bats that may be occupying a structure on your property and to bat-proof your home.

In order to legally exclude bats, any exclusion device must be left up for a minimum of four nights and must be conducted when the overnight temperature is forecast to be at least 50ºF.

Unlike other types of animals, bats do not chew on interior structures within your home, but their urine and guano can wreak havoc on sheetrock, aluminum soffit, and insulation, compromising the structural integrity of these elements. This can result in costly damage. To ensure your home is free of these flying mammals, we often use a variety of exclusion methods to safely and humanely remove the bats and prevent reentry. We accomplish this by sealing off potential access points and installing one way devices so bats can not return. With our wildlife removal service, you can rest assured that you will not be sharing your home with any unwanted visitors.
