Why We Don't Trap Bats
Finding bats in your attic is stressful, but bat trapping is not the answer. While traps work well for animals like raccoons or skunks, trapping bats is inefficient, inhumane, and often illegal.
Bats are highly sensitive creatures that rarely survive the stress of being caught in boxes or glue boards. More importantly, trapping is just a temporary band-aid. If you don't fix the physical holes in your roof or siding, a new colony will simply move in next season.
Our Solution- Live Exclusion
We solve your bat problem permanently and ethically without the use of traps. Our long-term approach includes:
Locating every hidden entry point in your attic.
Installing one-way exits so bats can safely leave but cannot re-enter.
Sealing your home completely to ensure they never come back.

Why Bat Trapping is the Wrong Approach for Your Home
Discovering a bat in your house can be stressful, and it's completely natural to want a quick fix. However, relying on bat trapping is not only an ineffective way to solve a bat problem—it can also be highly dangerous.
Here is why you should skip the traps and opt for professional bat control:
Severe Health and Safety Risks- Attempting to trap and handle live bats puts you at direct risk. Bats are known carriers of dangerous diseases, and a single bite can result in rabies exposure for you or your family.
Incomplete Removal- Bat colonies are often much larger and more elusive than they appear. You could spend an entire season setting traps and still leave a significant portion of the colony behind in your attic or walls.
It Doesn't Prevent Future Infestations- Trapping only addresses a symptom, not the root cause. Even if you manage to catch a few bats, leaving their entry points open guarantees that another colony will eventually take their place.
The Permanent Solution- Humane Bat Exclusion
For safe and efficient bat removal, the only proven method is humane bat exclusion. Instead of dangerous trapping, we safely guide the bats out of your home and comprehensively bat-proof your property so they can never re-enter.
