Bats infest many homes around Columbus, Marysville, And Delaware Ohio. It is wise to seek professional help when dealing with a bat infestation inside your attic. Bats can enter through a gap about the size of a quarter… this is why it is important to seal any gaps that are open on the exterior of the home. Once one way exclusion valves are installed, the bats will be able to fly out of the structure unharmed. However when the bats return and are unable to re-enter the home through the area where the exclusion valves are placed they will fly around the home searching for another access point to the attic. Bats will find these holes by using their sonar hearing and listening for drafts that are coming from the attic and through the openings.

It is illegal to kill a bat with the exception of having one tested for rabies after possible human exposure. Many bats have been dying in the United States due to a disease called White Nose Syndrome. The main species affected by this disease are little brown bats. Fortunately Ohio has mostly big brown bats and are not as susceptible to this disease because they hibernate in homes and caves within their individual colonies. Other species of bats including little brown bats migrate to large caves and hibernate in massive groups thus spreading White Nose Syndrome to each other more efficiently than big browns because the number of infected bats inside the cave.

The process of bat exclusion can be extensive and detail oriented work. High quality material that will last many years is used when the exclusion is done. I have the experience and tools to effectively control & remove the bats legally and with a high success rate.
