Bat Problem Northern KY: Bats become a nuisance when they roost in large numbers in houses and businesses. Despite their usefulness, discovering or even suspecting bats living in your home or business is unsettling. Due to the breeding and roosting habits of bats, timing the removal of a bat colony is crucial to both the success of the exclusion as well as its legality and therefore best left to the experts.

Bats often enter the occupied spaces of businesses or residences due to their roost being in close proximity to open windows, doors, and attic access. Tri-State Wildlife Management’s technicians are thoroughly trained in bat eviction/venting procedures and educate their customers regarding the best solution to rid their property of a bat invasion. The process starts with a meticulous inspection of the property designed to identify structural defects, as well as current and potential bat entry points that lead into the interiors of the structure. The inspection is intended to assist in the evaluation of the overall bat colony within the condition of the building.

In addition to removal/exclusion services, Tri-State Wildlife Management (TSWM) also offers full and partial attic cleanouts. TSWM employees are trained in safe and effective methods of removing bat guano and contaminated insulation. Due to the risk of exposure to diseases such as histoplasmosis, proper protective gear and equipment is vital to a safe and effective cleanout. TSWM is committed to working with home and business owners to eradicate their nuisance wildlife issue.

The courteous staff at Tri-State Wildlife will work for you to provide a cost effective solution to your bat or wildlife intrusion and/or damage issue. As a full service company we will initiate an Integrated Management Plan beginning with an inspection and customer education followed by bat removal and exclusion of intrusive bats or wildlife, clean-up, repair/restoration and prevention.

We strive for the most humane and environmentally effective techniques for dealing with bats and wildlife problems. Tri-State Wildlife Management’s use of modern innovative methods provides sound wildlife management services to ensure the protection of our customers’ investments and health.

Tri-State Wildlife Management: The Bat Removal Company of Northern Kentucky

September 27th, 2016

Rid your attic of bats before cold weather sets in and it’s too late! Call the preferred bat removal company of Northern Kentucky, Tri-State Wildlife Management, at (859) 635-0037. Now is a great time of year for bat removal in Northern Kentucky. TSWM is fully licensed and insured, and we stand behind our work. Put our experience and expertise to work for you!

Early fall is a busy time for Tri-State Wildlife Management (TSWM), as we continue to remove bats from homes and make repairs to exclude them for good!  Resolving a bat issue in a home or structure is time sensitive work. TSWM does not remove bats by trapping them; instead, our techniques allow bats to exit your attic while prohibiting reentry. By the time all bats have left your attic, TSWM finishes sealing up your home to prevent bat access. In order to make your entire home as bat-deterrent as possible, TSWM must finish all sealing before cold weather sets in. Once bats begin hibernating in your attic this winter, final repair work must be put on hold until spring when hibernation has ended. Of course it is best to complete the exclusion process now so bats cannot use your attic as their hibernating roost site.

In the past, our most common bat in the northern Kentucky area was the little brown bat, some of which migrate to warmer climates for the winter. Instead of entering a true hibernation state, they may leave their roost on warmer nights to hunt insects that may also take advantage of the warmer weather. Due to a devastating disease plaguing bats, called white nose syndrome, most of our little brown bats have died. The most common bat species in our area now is the big brown bat, which typically winters over in its maternal roost site. This is important for two reasons; first, we must assume that bats are in your attic during the winter rather than migrating elsewhere (or else we would not have to wait until hibernating season is over before fully sealing your home); second, if bats have had access to your home for years, then their numbers have multiplied each year.

Resolving a bat issue in a home or structure is tedious work. As mentioned above, bats prefer to return to their maternal roost site year after year. If their main entry(s) is repaired to prevent future access, they will find other openings. Even if no other opening is readily available, they may take advantage of vulnerable areas of your home and gain access. Oftentimes, they wind up in the living area of a home if their main entry is sealed. TWSM not only repairs current bat entries, but we also complete a thorough inspection of your home, identifying at risk areas. These vulnerable areas are also sealed and repaired, in order to make your home as bat deterrent as possible.

Bat Synopsis Bats may be the most misunderstood animals in the United States despite their ecological value. Regardless of their usefulness as the primary predators of night flying insects such as mosquitoes, bats suffer from a bad public image throughout much of the world. Centuries of myths, superstitions and misconceptions lead to fears of dread associated with such characters as Count Dracula and lead to bats being killed simply because they live near people that fear them. Despite their reputation, bats are not aggressive and usually wish to avoid humans. Bat populations the world over are rapidly declining leading to strict implementation of conservation efforts to protect bats and their habitats.

Biology Bats are mammals, having hair, giving birth to living young, and feeding them on milk from mammary glands. They are the only mammals that truly fly and are often seen fluttering around dusk, using their amazingly developed echolocation system (or sonar) to navigate through the night sky and locate and capture insects. More than two-thirds of bat species hunt insects in this way. It is said that a single little brown bat can eat up to 1,000 mosquito-sized insects in one hour, while a pregnant or lactating female has a large enough appetite to eat the equivalent of her entire body weight in a single night.

There are over 900 species of bats around the world with the majority of them residing in the tropics. Bats are second only to rodents in numbers among mammals and comprise almost one-fourth of all mammal species. Northern Kentucky is home to only a fraction of these bats, with the most common being the big brown bat. Due to white-nose syndrome, the little brown bat population has depleted drastically. Although it used to be the most common bat in North America, the little brown bat “is being considered for protection under the US Endangered Species Act”. In the northern Kentucky area, big brown bats are now most prevalent. Unlike little brown bats, big brown bats usually winter over in their roost. As it happens, attics of homes and buildings are a very common roost and hibernation site for big brown bats.

Disease A small percentage of bats will contract rabies, and an even smaller percentage will come in contact with humans or pets. With that said, it is always wise to practice common sense and use caution around them and avoid direct contact, as well as ensure that your pets are properly vaccinated. Bat bites and other physical contact may go undetected by individuals who are asleep, children or pets.

In addition to the foul smell and unsanitary conditions, accumulated bat droppings can support the growth of histoplasmosis, an airborne fungal disease very common in the Tri-State Area. Dry attic environments usually do not support the growth of histoplasmosis spores, however attic cleanouts should never be conducted by a home or business owner. Due to the risk of exposure, guano removal should be left to trained professionals with the proper safety and removal equipment. For more information concerning bat exposure visit, the Center for Disease Control Website at: www.cdc.gov

Damage and Damage Identification Late summer / early autumn is a perfect time of year for Tri-State Wildlife Management (TSWM) to exclude bats, repair damages, and prevent re-entry on homes and other structures. During the winter months, TSWM is only able to compelte preliminary bat exclusion work. This is to ensure bats are able to exit their roost site (your attic) in the spring. Once the weather warms up again, bats once again leave their roost site to hunt, and TSWM can complete the bat exclusion process.

Bats become a nuisance when they roost in large numbers in houses and businesses. Despite their usefulness, discovering or even suspecting bats living in your home or business is unsettling. Two common bat problems in the Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky area include a solitary bat accidentally entering the living space of a structure and bats roosting in the attics or chimneys of homes or building. Signs that bats may be living in a structure include seeing bats going in/out of the building, and the presence of bat droppings (guano).

Florence, KY Bat Removal and Exclusion - Tri-State Wildlife Management

Tri-State Wildlife Management is fully insured, and we stand behind all our work

Florence, KY Bat Removal and Exclusion Tri-State Wildlife Management offers bat removal in Ohio, northern Kentucky, and southeast Indiana. We offer full service exclusions and repairs to ensure that the bats are gone for good.  TSWM also offers full attic cleanups after bats are removed and excluded.

Having bats in your home is an unsettling and serious problem, even if they are confined to the attic. Not only do they urinate and defecate anywhere they roost, causing staining and odor problems which are difficult to remove, they are associated with diseases which are dangerous to humans, including rabies and histoplasmosis (a lung disease caused by the spores of fungus which grow on their droppings or guano). Tri-State Wildlife Management will take care of your bat problem and make life normal again for you and your family.

While bats are very beneficial to humans because of their affinity for many flying insects, such as mosquitoes, if they find their way into your home and take up residence, they can also be some of the most destructive, dangerous, and expensive wildlife to control.

Since bats are a protected species, removal should be done by a trained professional, such as our trained technicians.  In addition, we perform repairs and/or restorations to your home or business to prevent re-entry. TSWM also offers partial and full attic cleanups after bat exclusion.

Tri-State Wildlife Management is a proud member of the National Wildlife Control Operators Association, and is certified Bat Standard Compliant by NWCOA.
