Common Bat Problems in North Georgia
Signs of a Bat Infestation
Noises in the Attic or Walls
One of the first signs of a bat infestation is hearing strange noises in your attic or walls, particularly at dusk and dawn when bats are most active. Bats are relatively quiet, so you’re unlikely to hear them in your attic the same way you’d hear squirrels or rodents – in fact, most homeowners only encounter them when they enter the attic themselves or a contractor notifies them of the issue. These noises can include scratching, squeaking, and fluttering sounds as bats move around. If bats have found an entry point to your home, it’s important to safely remove them and prevent re entry.
Droppings and Stains
Bat droppings, also known as guano, are another clear indicator of an infestation. You may find these droppings on your exterior siding or on the ground next to your home, in your attic’s insulation, near entry points, or along the roof of your home. They are also frequently found outdoors underneath your gable where the bats enter and exit your home. Guano can accumulate quickly and create stains, as well as a strong, unpleasant odor.
Unpleasant Odors
The presence of bats often leads to a strong, musty odor caused by their droppings and urine. This odor can permeate your home, making it uncomfortable for you and your family.
Histoplasmosis
Bats can carry histoplasmosis, a fungal infection that affects the lungs. The fungus thrives in bat droppings, and inhaling the spores can lead to serious respiratory issues, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems.
Rabies
Though not all bats carry rabies, they are one of the primary wildlife vectors for this deadly virus. Rabies can be transmitted through bat bites or scratches, posing a significant health risk to both humans and pets. Immediate medical attention is necessary if you suspect a bat bite or scratch.
Bat Bugs
Similar to bed bugs, bat bugs are parasites that feed on the blood of bats. If bats are present in your home, there is a risk that bat bugs could spread to other areas, potentially causing infestations in your living spaces and creating additional health concerns
Inspection and Identification
The first step in safely getting rid of bats is to conduct a thorough inspection of your property to identify all possible entry points. Bats can squeeze through tiny gaps, often as small as a half-inch, making it crucial to check for any cracks, crevices, or openings around your roofline, vents, chimneys…

Post-Removal Services: Prevent Bats from Coming Back
Once bats have been removed and entry points sealed, it is important to address any contamination left behind. Bat droppings (guano) can pose health risks and attract other pests. Our team provides thorough cleanup and sanitation services to remove guano and decontaminate affected areas.
