Bat Removal in American Fork
Bats are protected under Utah law, so removing them legally and humanely is the only option. We provide a full bat remediation service: inspection, sealing every entry point, guano removal, and decontamination of soiled insulation. Our technicians use one-way exclusion devices that let bats out at dusk but block them from re-entering. After the colony is out, we seal the structure to prevent return. Every exclusion comes with a written warranty.
Utah Wildlife Specialists serves homeowners and businesses in American Fork, Utah County, and across all of Utah. Call (801) 675-8829 to schedule an inspection and request a phone consultation. Same-day appointments are available.
Why is Professional Bat Removal Important in American Fork?
American Fork occupies the north end of Utah Valley along the Wasatch Front, where rapid suburban growth has pushed neighborhoods against the canyon mouth of American Fork Canyon. Little brown myotis and big brown bats are well-documented in this elevation band, using attic vents and chimney flashing on tightly packed residential streets. Older homes near the historic downtown are especially vulnerable to fascia gaps that open each spring as wood expands and contracts. Guano in enclosed attic spaces generates histoplasmosis risk. A UDWR-licensed technician will install vent caps and apply enzymatic decontaminant to the roost area once the exclusion is confirmed complete.
What is included
- Inspection. We inspect the attic, soffits, ridge cap, and chimney to identify every bat entry point and assess colony size.
- Humane exclusion. One-way devices let bats out at dusk and block re-entry. No poisons, no harm to the colony.
- Guano cleanup and decontamination. We remove guano with HEPA-filtered equipment and decontaminate soiled insulation. Guano can corrode metal, stain ceilings, and harbor histoplasmosis spores.
- Written warranty. Every exclusion comes with a written warranty. If bats return through any opening we sealed, we come back at no charge.
Common questions
Are bats protected in Utah?
Yes. All Utah bat species are protected under Utah Division of Wildlife Resources rules. Killing or harming bats is illegal. Humane exclusion is the only legal way to remove a colony from a structure.
Why is bat guano dangerous?
Guano accumulates rapidly and can corrode metal, stain surfaces, and emit a strong odor. It can also harbor Histoplasma capsulatum, a fungus that causes respiratory illness. We perform complete guano removal and decontamination using HEPA vacuums and full PPE.
How do you exclude bats?
We seal every entry point except the main exit, then install a one-way device that lets bats fly out at dusk but blocks re-entry. After the colony is fully out (typically a few days), we seal the final exit and warranty the work.
What does the warranty cover?
Every Utah Wildlife Specialists exclusion is covered under a written warranty. If bats return through any opening we sealed, we come back at no charge.
How much does bat removal cost?
Pricing depends on building size, colony size, and the extent of guano cleanup. We offer a phone consultation. Call (801) 675-8829 to schedule an inspection.
When is bat exclusion done in Utah?
Bat maternity season runs roughly mid-May through mid-August. During that period, exclusion is restricted because flightless pups would be trapped inside. We schedule exclusions before mid-May or after mid-August. Inspection and planning can happen any time.
