Tri-State Wildlife Management – Protecting You, Your Property, and Your Investment

Bat Removal Covington KY: 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). TSWM can 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.  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 Certified Bat Standard Compliant by the National Wildlife Control Operators Association.

Do you have bats in your attic? Call Tri-State Wildlife Management to remove and exclude bats from your home! Put our experience and expertise to work for you!

Like every fall, Tri-State Wildlife Management (TSWM) is busy with bat work, including bat inspections and bat exclusion. Now is the perfect time to take care of any bat problem you may have before bats begin hibernating in your attic. Once bats begin hibernating, their main entry/exit points cannot be sealed in order to prevent them being trapped in your attic. If trapped in your attic, they will eventually die, causing a severe odor. In addition, it is unethical, as they are federally protected and useful as insect predators.

Preliminary bat work involves sealing and repairing all at-risk areas of a home or structure, even if bats are not currently using them as entry and exit points because they are areas susceptible to bat entry. Once bats are excluded from their entry and exit points, they will attempt to gain access to the structure by other means. TSWM seals all vulnerable areas to prevent bats from gaining access through other areas of the home.

The same principles apply to condos and apartment complexes, schools, churches, hospitals and more – all at-risk/vulnerable areas should be sealed so that bats do not find another way into the structure once excluded from using their main entry points. Although TSWM always strongly advises going about bat exclusion in this way, the decision is ultimately up to the customer. Unfortunately, if other potential entries are not sealed, bats almost always find their way back in. It is much more cost effective to seal up the home before bats can reenter.

A classic example of this occurred at a condominium complex in the Cincinnati area. TSWM was called by the homeowners association in 2013 to resolve a bat issue. The association was unwilling to seal and repair every portion of every building. They requested that TWSM exclude bats from their main entries on only some units on 2 separate buildings and seal at-risk areas on these units only. The association did not want to complete an inspection on the other units, although TSWM assumed bat entry or potential bat entry.  After plenty of counsel attempting to educate the board members of the condo association, TSWM agreed to do the work, but without a guarantee, and stressed the inevitability of bats entering other portions of the buildings and other nearby buildings.

As expected, the homeowner’s association called a few months later saying that other residents were now experiencing bat problems; including bat bugs within the living space of some units.  TSWM completed an inspection on the requested units and found evidence of bat entry. TSWM completed all preliminary sealing around the units, but had to wait until the spring to fully exclude bats. In the meantime, TSWM received another call asking for an inspection on a third building within the same complex. As expected, bat entry was found. A bat problem that should have been resolved in a month or less ended up taking 9+ months. In addition, the expense was significantly more than what it should have been if it had all be resolved at one time.
