"I can’t say enough about the professional service we received from Bat Masters. They responded incredibly quickly when we needed bats removed so that we could proceed with the sale of our home. They even came out on a weekend to get the job done. They showed up exactly as promised and were very thorough in locating and sealing all of the potential entry points around our home, as well as taking the appropriate measures to remove the bats. They also confirmed that there was no damage requiring further attention, which gave us great peace of mind. Throughout the entire process, they were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive. I wouldn’t hesitate to call Bat Masters again or recommend them to anyone needing bat removal services."
"Terry is very knowledgeable about bats and their habits. He is very personable and his pricing is reasonable. He is not just out to make a buck. He is a problem solver."
DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself.
Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away.
No, you shouldn’t have to worry about bats in your yard as long as they don’t make their way inside your house. Typically, bats hang around backyards in order to consume bugs, especially if they’re located in the U.S. Bats that are native to North America can consume more than 500 bugs per hour, so they may actually benefit your yard if mosquitoes are prevalent.
Pest control measures for bird and bat issues typically last from several weeks to months, depending on the effectiveness of the implemented solutions and the return of conducive conditions.
Animal removal specialists specialize in removing critters and wildlife from in and around your home. These include:
Bats
Birds
Groundhogs
Moles and voles
Opossums
Mice and rats
Raccoons
Skunks
Squirrels
The specialist's method to remove these critters will depend on the animal. For example, groundhogs will be live-trapped and relocated, whereas, for birds, the expert will remove and discard the inactive nest and sanitize the area.
Yes, in some cases if your damper is left open, animals can come down your chimney. In these instances, it’s more likely that they have fallen in while looking for a safe spot rather than entered your house intentionally. Leaving your damper closed or installing a chimney cap can prevent animals from coming inside.
