Bat removal
The Little Brown Bat, one of two species common to Massachusetts.
No one wants bats in their house. They are harbingers of disease and their droppings pose significant health risks if you are exposed. To identify if the noises in your house are bats, if you haven't seen them obviously, would be by their droppings and the noises they make. I don't recommend you examine the droppings because of the aforementioned health hazards, but the sounds they make are much safer for you to diagnose. The sounds they make in your walls are similar to chirping from birds and when they are moving around, in tighter spots where they can't fly, sound like a skitter and a drag.

Bats generally make their way up high to get into your house. The biggest culprit I've found are the sides of dormers where the shingles meet soffit. The gaps that are left here so roofers can slide the shingles under the soffit leave enough room for bats to go straight into your attic. With the bat exclusion and eviction service I provide, every possible access point that bats could use to get into your home will be sealed.

The method I use to exclude bats are polymer tubes angled downward to prevent bats from being able to fly into them. They are effective and discreet, delivering an expedient solution to your bat infestation. After the eviction period, all tubes will be removed and those access points will sealed to prevent future bat incursions.

Bat Houses
We offer bat houses for our clients that wish to keep a bat colony around after they have them evicted from their home. Each house is made to order and is made from plywood or rough cut wood, has two chambers for the bats to live in, and is mounted in the appropriate location by our technician. You can mount them on a post in the yard, to the side of your house, or a tree (as long as they have a clear flight path).
