How to Get Rid of Bats
The first and most essential step in managing a bat problem is a detailed inspection of your property. Understanding how bats are entering your home or building allows for safe and permanent removal.
Bats are frequently found in attics, barns, roofs, and wall voids, where they seek warmth and shelter. Although bats play an important role in controlling insects, their presence indoors can pose serious health risks, including exposure to rabies, histoplasmosis, and parasitic pests like bat mites.
Removing bats requires professional care; these are protected wildlife species in Canada, meaning humane and regulated exclusion methods must be used. Traps, poisons, or harm of any kind are illegal and unsafe. Instead, our certified experts use one-way exclusion devices, sealing all entry points once the bats have safely exited.
If you suspect bat activity or notice signs of droppings, odour, or scratching noises in your attic or walls, contact our licensed Canadian pest control professionals for immediate help. We offer responsive call-out services to assess and safely resolve bat infestations.

How does green bat control work?
It removes bats using humane exclusion methods. Technicians seal entry points and install one-way exits so bats leave safely and cannot return.
Is humane bat removal effective?
Yes, humane exclusion is highly effective. It removes active colonies while preventing future roosting inside the structure.
Are bats dangerous in homes?
Yes, bats pose health and safety risks. Droppings, parasites, and potential disease exposure make professional removal important.
Is bat control safe for families and pets?
Yes, humane bat control is family-safe. No toxic chemicals are used inside living spaces during exclusion.
Where do bats usually roost in buildings?
Bats roost in dark, quiet structural gaps. Common areas include attics, soffits, vents, and rooflines.
How do bats get into houses?
They enter through small exterior openings. Gaps along roofing, vents, and siding allow easy access indoors.
How long does bat removal take?
Most exclusions take a few hours to install. Full colony removal may take days as bats exit naturally.
Can bats return after removal?
Yes, without proper sealing they can return. Exclusion and entry repairs prevent repeat infestations.

Usually, you can stay home. Work focuses on exterior access points and attic spaces.
