Commercial Bat Removal in Salt Lake City
A bat colony in a commercial building is a liability and a health exposure, not just a nuisance. Utah Wildlife Specialists provides commercial-scale bat work across the Wasatch Front: a documented inspection of the full building envelope, one-way exclusion timed to Utah Division of Wildlife Resources guidance, guano remediation under containment, and permanent sealing with commercial-grade materials. Bats are protected in Utah, and the DWR says not to seal or exclude them from May through August while flightless pups are in the roost, so we plan the work around the legal calendar and keep your operations running while we do it.
Utah Wildlife Specialists serves businesses, property managers, and facility teams in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake 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 Commercial Bat Removal Matters in Salt Lake City, Utah
Salt Lake City pairs Utah's largest stock of older commercial masonry with its busiest rooftops. Historic blocks along Main Street downtown, converted warehouses in the Granary District, and the industrial corridor toward the airport along I-80 all offer the parapet gaps, brick joints, and rooftop penetrations a bat colony needs. Add schools, churches, and multifamily buildings across the Avenues and Sugar House, and commercial exclusion here is less about one roost and more about managing a whole building envelope. Utah Wildlife Specialists schedules around business hours and documents every step for owners, insurers, and tenants.
What is included
- Commercial inspection. We survey the full structure, inside and out: roofline, parapets, expansion joints, rooftop units, soffits, and loading areas. You get a map of active entry points, an estimate of colony size, and a measured read on guano accumulation.
- Exclusion at scale. One-way devices go up at every active entry point once the season allows, letting bats leave to feed and blocking re-entry. On a large building the devices stay up longer, and we monitor until the colony is confirmed out.
- Guano remediation. Accumulated guano can harbor the fungus that causes histoplasmosis, so we contain the area, suppress dust, remove the material under controlled conditions, and decontaminate surfaces, scheduled around your operating hours.
- Documentation and prevention. Every job produces a written record: inspection report, scope of work, methods used, and warranty terms, the paperwork owners, insurers, and tenants ask for. Permanent sealing and optional maintenance inspections keep the next colony out.
Common questions
Do we have to close the building during bat removal?
Usually no. Exclusion happens at the roost entry points on the building exterior, so the business stays open while the work runs. Guano remediation inside occupied space is contained, ventilated, and scheduled around your hours, often evenings or weekends.
Is bat guano in a workplace an OSHA or health issue?
It can be. Accumulated guano can harbor Histoplasma capsulatum, the fungus that causes histoplasmosis, and the CDC and NIOSH publish workplace guidance for occupational exposure to bat droppings. Professional remediation with proper containment and respiratory protection is the documented way to handle it.
Can a business remove bats during maternity season?
No. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources says not to seal or exclude bats from May through August, and does not permit colony removal from June through August except for a genuine human health and safety issue. During that window we inspect, assess guano, write the remediation plan, and schedule exclusion for the day the season ends.
What documentation do we get for insurance or tenants?
A written inspection report, a scope of work, the exclusion and remediation methods used, before-and-after documentation, and the warranty terms. Property managers use this for insurance claims, tenant communication, and compliance records.
