5 Highlights on Bat Removal and Exclusion
Licensed wildlife control operators
inspect every roost, attic, and wall cavity to locate entry points, gaps, and crevices used by Little Brown Bats and Big Brown Bats.
One-way doors and exclusion devices
let bats fly out at dusk and block their return, keeping the colony safe and the structure sealed.
Bat-proof sealing
with hardware cloth, mesh, caulk, and expanding foam closes soffits, eaves, louvers, and roofline gaps against future infestations.
Guano removal and decontamination
sanitize attics contaminated with droppings, urine, and histoplasmosis pathogens using respirators, hazmat suits, and EPA-approved disinfectants.
Written inspection reports and treatment plans
document every step, with warranties covering sealed entry points and recurring service contracts for seasonal monitoring.
Our crews handle maternity colonies with strict timing rules to protect pups, and we coordinate with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) when protected or endangered species roost in your structure. Every exclusion follows Integrated Pest Management (IPM) standards.

Signs You Need Bat Removal and Exclusion
Bat Removal and Exclusion becomes urgent when you notice specific evidence of a bat infestation inside your property. Bats are nocturnal, winged mammals that slip through gaps as small as three-eighths of an inch, making it hard for homeowners and business owners to catch the problem early.
Scratching and squeaking at dusk or dawn:
You hear flutter, scratch, and high-pitched squeak sounds from the attic, soffit, or wall cavity right as bats leave to feed or return to roost. The noise pattern repeats every night.
Guano piles near entry points:
Dark, crumbly droppings collect on attic insulation, against fascia boards, or below louvers and gable vents. Guano carries histoplasmosis spores and demands professional decontamination with proper PPE.
Brown staining on siding or roofline:
Bats leave greasy, oily marks where they squeeze through cracks, holes, or compromised soffits. The stains darken over time and signal a well-established entry point.
Strong ammonia odor in the attic:
Accumulated urine and guano produce a sharp, pungent smell that seeps into living spaces. The odor confirms a maturing colony, often a maternity colony during summer months.
Sightings inside the home:
A bat fluttering through a hallway or roosting behind shutters means the infestation has reached interior spaces. Rabies risk climbs sharply with direct contact. If you or a family member may have had contact with a bat, contact your local health department or physician immediately about rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) – do not wait for pest control service. For the structure itself, call a licensed wildlife control operator.
Other red flags include swarming activity around your chimney at sunset, dead insects and other pests piling near attic vents, and unexplained stains on ceilings below the roofline. Call A & R Pest Solutions at (855) 466-7158 the moment you spot any of these signs.

Our Bat Removal and Exclusion Process
Our Bat Removal and Exclusion process follows a strict five-step protocol developed by certified bat specialists and approved under Integrated Pest Management (IPM) guidelines.
Inspection and Identification
A technician surveys the attic, roofline, chimney, soffits, eaves, gables, and louvers. We identify the species, locate every entry point, and assess colony size. You receive a written inspection report within 24 hours.
Exclusion Device Installation
We mount one-way doors and check valves over primary entry points. Bats fly out at dusk to feed and cannot return. Maternity colonies receive special timing consideration to protect flightless pups.
Sealing and Bat-Proofing
Once the colony has fully evicted, we seal every gap, crack, crevice, and hole with hardware cloth, stainless mesh, polyurethane foam, and exterior-grade caulk. We screen vents and patch damaged fascia.
Guano Removal and Decontamination
Crews suit up in hazmat gear and respirators to vacuum and sanitize contaminated insulation, joists, and drywall. We apply EPA-registered disinfectants to neutralize histoplasmosis, salmonella, and bacterial pathogens.
Final Walkthrough and Warranty
We inspect every sealed entry point, deliver photo documentation, and activate your service warranty. Optional monitoring contracts cover seasonal re-inspections.
The full process takes three to fourteen days depending on colony size and structural complexity.

FAQs About Bat Removal and Exclusion
What is bat removal and exclusion?
Bat removal and exclusion is a humane process that evicts a bat colony from a structure and seals every entry point against return. Technicians install one-way doors, let bats fly out naturally, and then close gaps with mesh, caulk, and foam.
When should I schedule bat removal and exclusion?
Schedule service as soon as you suspect a bat infestation – the moment you spot guano, hear scratching, or see bats entering your home. Avoid exclusion during maternity season (typically May through August in Washington State) when flightless pups remain in the roost – exclusion during this window is restricted under Washington State wildlife protection regulations (RCW 77.15) to prevent trapping dependent young inside the structure. Spring and fall offer ideal timing.
Why does bat exclusion matter for my health?
Bat guano carries histoplasmosis, a serious respiratory disease documented by the CDC. Bats can also transmit rabies – the CDC recommends immediate medical consultation if bat contact is suspected. Exclusion eliminates the colony, decontaminates the attic, and protects your family from airborne pathogens and parasitic mites.
How does bat exclusion work?
A standard residential treatment takes 45 to 90 minutes. Larger commercial accounts and heavy bedbug or termite jobs can take several hours or require multiple visits across two to six weeks.
Can I remove bats myself?
No. Always call a pro – bats are federally protected, and most states require a licensed wildlife control operator for any removal work. DIY attempts often trap pups inside walls, cause structural damage, and expose homeowners to rabies and histoplasmosis.
Does bat removal damage my home?
Professional exclusion causes no structural damage. We use precision tools, exterior-grade sealants, and color-matched mesh. Damaged soffits, fascia, or vents found during inspection get repaired as part of the service contract.
