Bat Removal in Salt Lake County
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 Salt Lake County, and across all of Utah. Call (801) 675-8829 to schedule an inspection and request a free estimate. Same-day appointments are available.
Why is Professional Bat Removal Important in Salt Lake County?
Salt Lake County is the most populous county in Utah, stretching from the Great Salt Lake shore to the Wasatch crest and crossing three major canyon corridors: Big Cottonwood, Little Cottonwood, and Parley's. Each canyon delivers Townsend's big-eared bats, little brown myotis, and big brown bats into the urban grid every spring. East-bench neighborhoods in Holladay, Cottonwood Heights, Sandy, and Draper sit directly in the flight path from mountain hibernacula to valley foraging areas. The county also contains a mix of construction vintages that spans 1880s brick downtown stock, 1950s through 1970s ranch suburbs, and 2000s custom homes, each with a different entry profile. Salt Lake City's historic Avenues and Sugar House neighborhoods are particularly vulnerable because their original mortar, slate flashing, and wood louvers have weathered into reliable bat-access points. Utah Wildlife Specialists serves every Salt Lake County city, from Salt Lake City and West Valley City through Sandy, Draper, South Jordan, West Jordan, Riverton, Herriman, Murray, Midvale, Millcreek, Holladay, Cottonwood Heights, Taylorsville, and Bluffdale.
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 provide a free estimate. 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.
