How much does wildlife removal cost?

Cost varies based on the species involved, extent of the infestation, accessibility of affected areas, and amount of exclusion and restoration needed. We provide detailed quotes after our free inspection.

Is bat removal legal in Georgia?

Yes, bat removal is legal in Georgia. However, bat exclusion cannot be performed between April 1 and July 31 when flightless pups are present. We schedule all bat removal outside this blackout window.

What animal is in my attic in Georgia?

The most common animals in Georgia attics are squirrels, bats, raccoons, and rodents. Scratching during the day usually means squirrels. Night sounds could be raccoons, flying squirrels, bats, or rodents. A free inspection can identify the species.

How do I animal proof my house?

Animal proofing requires sealing every potential entry point with durable materials including soffit vent guards, chimney caps, roof vent covers, and gap sealing. Professional wildlife exclusion with custom metal fabrication provides lasting protection.

How do raccoons get in the attic?

Raccoons are strong enough to rip through soffits, fascia boards, and roof decking. They commonly enter through soffit intersections, deteriorated roofline areas, and construction gaps large enough to pull open.

Why can't bats be removed during the blackout season?

Between April 1 and July 31, bat colonies contain flightless pups that depend entirely on their mothers. If adult bats are excluded during this window, the pups cannot follow and will die inside your home. This creates health hazards, attracts other pests, and causes significant odor issues. Proper timing is essential for effective, humane bat exclusion.

What are the visual signs of a bat problem?

Look for dark staining on your home's exterior — particularly around gable vents, returns, gable ends, and siding. Guano (bat droppings) may also appear on window sills, driveways, AC units, and trash cans below roofline entry points. These stains are a clear indicator of an active colony.

Our Work

Our Bat Removal Process

Inspection & Assessment

We locate all bat entry points, assess colony size and guano accumulation, and photograph all findings for your records.

Exclusion Timing Evaluation

We determine whether exclusion can proceed immediately or falls within the blackout period (April 1 – July 31), when flightless young are present and exclusion cannot be performed.

One-Way Exclusion

Once timing allows, bats are humanely excluded using one-way devices — they can leave but cannot re-enter.

Guano Cleanup & Seal

After all bats have departed, we clean up guano, sanitize affected areas, and permanently seal all entry points.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bat exclusion cannot be performed between April 1 and July 31. This is the blackout season — during this period, flightless young (pups) are present in the colony. Excluding adult bats during this time would trap the pups inside, causing them to die and creating serious odor and contamination problems. Exclusion is performed before April 1 or after July 31 once pups can fly on their own.
