Our Bat Removal Process — Step-by-Step from Inspection to Warranty

✅ UDWR Licensed✅ Fully Insured✅ 15+ Years Experience✅ Written Warranty✅ Free Inspections✅ Same-Day Emergency

If you’ve never had professional bat removal done before, the process can feel mysterious. What exactly happens when we arrive? How long does it take? What does your attic look like when it’s done? This page walks through exactly what to expect at every stage of a professional bat removal in Utah.

Step 1: Free Property Inspection (Day 1)

Our licensed bat removal technician arrives and performs a comprehensive inspection:

Full exterior roofline walk: Every potential entry point — gable vents, ridge caps, soffit gaps, fascia, chimney junctions, utility penetrations — checked for gaps ¼ inch or larger
Attic interior assessment: Colony size estimation from guano patterns, identification of primary roost clusters, contamination documentation
Species identification: Critical for UDWR compliance, colony size expectations, and exclusion timing
Written report and estimate: You receive an itemized written estimate before any work begins — no surprises

Time: 30–90 minutes depending on property size | Cost: Free

Step 2: Exclusion Device Installation (Service Day 1)

Our crew installs professional one-way exclusion devices over all active bat entry points. Bats exit normally at dusk to feed but cannot re-enter. All inactive secondary entry points are permanently sealed at this stage.

Time: 2–6 hours depending on entry point count | Timing: Must be outside May 1–August 15 maternity season

Step 3: Colony Monitoring Period (Days 2–7)

We allow 3–7 days for 100% of the colony to exit through the exclusion devices. Every bat exits nightly to feed — by day 7 the entire colony has passed through and cannot return. You may notice bats clustering around the exclusion site in the evenings — this is normal and expected.

Time: 3–7 days | No action needed from you during this period

Step 4: Permanent Sealing (Service Day 2)

We return, remove all exclusion devices, and permanently seal every identified entry point using UV-stable, climate-rated materials designed for Utah’s temperature extremes. A final exterior inspection confirms the structure is completely bat-free.

Time: 1–4 hours | Includes written warranty

Step 5: Guano Cleanup & Insulation Restoration (Optional)

If significant guano accumulation was found during inspection, we schedule a dedicated cleanup service. This is strongly recommended for any colony that was active for more than one season. Learn more: Bat Guano Cleanup & Attic Restoration →
