What makes Bats dangerous?
Although bats are good for the environment, they can be dangerous when they enter our homes. Because bats are known to carry rabies, physical contact with them should be avoided. If you or a member of your family has had contact with a bat, you should talk to your doctor about the possibility of rabies. Bats produce guano, also known as bat poop, in addition to eating a variety of insects.
Bat guano concentrations can contaminate attic insulation and other materials, posing a health risk. Following the removal of the invading bats, we will inspect the attic to determine the extent of the damage caused by the unwanted visitors. We can safely remove all bat guano and soiled insulation and re-insulate to finish the job. If the animal becomes even more aggressive in confined spaces, it is critical to leave the area and contact a professional such as Seitz Wildlife Services.
Live Bat Removal
In Pennsylvania, there are a lot of bats. On rare occasions, a single bat may become trapped in your home or business. Allow Seitz Wildlife Service to remove live bats from your property in a safe manner. It is never a good idea to try to catch a bat. Avoid physical contact with bats because they can transmit rabies. If physical contact occurred, the bat may need to be captured and tested for rabies at the county health department. The bat will be placed in a box if testing requires it.
Professional Bat Exclusion
Bat exclusion is the process of inspecting and sealing a room, home, or building that has been infiltrated by bats in order to permanently prevent further invasions. Bats are very invasive and have the ability to fit themselves through extremely tiny gaps and crevices. It can be very difficult to identify all of the potential areas a bat can intrude on your property. Hiring a professional bat exclusion service will ensure your property is professionally evaluated and correctly sealed to prevent further bat invasions.
If you are experiencing a bat infestation in residential or commercial property we have the skills needed to evict the bats and prevent them from returning. In Pennsylvania, bats are very beneficial to our environment. Bats help to control the insect population and are also protected by law. We perform humane bat exclusion and do not condone the use of poisons or harmful chemicals. By use of a one-way door, we allow the invading bats to exit a structure but not return, leaving your home 100% bat-free!

Our experts will thoroughly inspect your attic before providing a detailed report on their findings. Certain aspects of your attic, such as wood paneling, flooring, and attic insulation, must be replaced on a regular basis.

What Are The Signs of a Bat Infestation?
Bats flying out of a home or building at dusk is the most obvious sign of a bat infestation. Bats are creatures of habit, and they will roost in the same place every night. Bat droppings can accumulate in attics over time, and they can also be seen along walkways and on window sills. Squeaking noises in an attic, chimney, or wall, as well as bats frequently appearing in living quarters, are other common complaints associated with a bat problem. Bats are nocturnal, with most activity occurring around dusk and into the evening hours; this is when most bat activity is observed.
What is the biggest problem with a bat infestation?
Bats are one of Pennsylvania’s most beneficial creatures, but they can become a major issue if they live inside our homes. Bats consume their body weight in insects every night, causing their feces or guano to quickly accumulate. Bat guano looks like black, sticky rice and can contaminate attic insulation and other materials. If bat guano is inhaled, it is known to produce mold spores, which can cause lung infections or histoplasmosis. Bat guano accumulates quickly on walkways, window sills, and siding, leaving stains and foul odors.
Another issue associated with a bat infestation is bats flying through your home or office on a regular basis. This can be unsettling, not to mention dangerous to one’s health. Once a bat colony has found a suitable roosting site, it can be difficult to deter them because bat repellent has little to no effect. Bat exclusion is the only long-term solution to a bat infestation and will eliminate even the most severe bat issues.
When is the best time to perform a bat exclusion?
Bats are a protected species in Pennsylvania and it is important to time a bat exclusion correctly to ensure the survival of the bat colony. By law, bat exclusions can not be performed between June 1st and August 1st. This is the time maternity colonies of bats are raising their young and any disturbance could cause the mortality of this year’s young bats. Bat exclusions can be complete in the spring before the young bats are born, or after August 1st when the young bats are able to leave the roost with the rest of the colony. Hibernating bats colonies throughout the North East are experiencing moralities from a disease called White Nose Syndrome, any further harm to this species should be avoided.
