Bat Safety In NH and Maine

While bats are beneficial in helping control insects like mosquitoes and they are great pollinators for plants and spread fruit seeds, they are referred to as pests for a reason when they find ways into the home. They are often the source for diseases such as:

  • Rabies – the most common disease associated with bats transmitted by bat bite that can transmit it to animals and people. Rabies makes victims very sick and left untreated is fatal.
  • Histoplasmosis – a disease that generally attacks the lungs is caused by bat dung (guano) that they leave behind… in great abundance where they roost. Bat droppings provide a home for fungus and infection in humans can occur when people inhale the spores and their urine can cause a very strong odor.  We often find droppings that lead to staining in ceilings and walls and need to provide cleanup services to sanitize affected areas. Colonies in your attic leave droppings that have the potential to become a hazardous situation.
  • Parasites – Bats can also leave behind parasites such as bat bugs, which resemble bedbugs and can get infiltrate your home.

Because of the hazardous nature of bat droppings or guano, and since bats are common carriers of the rabies virus, property owners or property managers are strongly advised to not attempt to remove bat infestations or clean guano accumulations on their own. Contact our team for proper disposal practices.

Top Questions About Bats

There are well over 40 bat species in the United State!
NH and Maine are home to 8 species of bats. All are “of conservation concern” and humane removal is essential.

We do not like scare tactics here at AWC.  But Yes, Bats CAN carry rabies and transmit them.  This is why we URGE people NOT to handle them at all.  Many times you will not know you have been bitten and think this is a scratch. A bat bite can transmit from infected bats to animals and people. Rabies makes victims very sick and left untreated is fatal.

The most effective and humane bat removal process from a building technique is through exclusion.
What is Exclusion you ask:
This is our way of assuring bats leave the home safely.  Bat exclusion is human and simply provides an eviction notice with no return. We locate any openings bats are currently using to gain access into the building and install one-way doors on those openings, enabling the bats to leave the building and move back into the wild, but not return to your residence.

Fear is the root of many of the questions and it is our goal to try to mitigate untruths during the uncertainty of intensity of the spread from animals to people.

Information regarding COVID-19 is changing continuously especially in our line of work and we are committed to assuring we implement all necessary precautions and guidelines as needed regardless.  We suggest always calling an expert to remove bats properly. Please read out Blog Post on this subject for more info.

How to Remove Bats 

The most effective and humane bat removal process from a building technique is through exclusion. This is our way of assuring bats leave the home safely.  Bat exclusion means that we locate any openings bats are currently using to gain access into the building and install one-way doors on those openings, enabling the bats to leave the building and move back into the wild, but not return to your residence.

Upon installation of the one-way door, technicians will identify and seal all possible re-entry points (the bats may look for another way in and only need an opening about the size of a dime).

Most of the time, one-way doors are left on until the next scheduled removal window unless you require sooner.  We do like to leave on for a few weeks to assure everyone is moved out. Depending on the season, bats should be gone within 24-48 hours, unless they are hibernating in winter months.

When technicians return, they reinspect the property, remove the one-way doors and seal the opening or openings to prevent future bat entry into your home.

Coexisting with nature is always our goal. However, if they are in your home, many people prefer not to exist at that level. If you are concerned about a bat problem, contact us for humane bat removal and cleanup services today.
