- Bat Free Batproofing endorses and practices non-lethal bat proofing.

AFTER SERVICE
EXPECTATIONS
- Please allow 10 days to pass to ensure all currently roosted bats have had sufficient time to leave once there have been 5 consecutive nights with temperatures between 50 and 60 degrees.
- Bat proofing the structure will NOT prevent bats from roosting behind shutters, downspouts, or other areas of the home including porches and shutters.
- Overhead garage doors, side entry garage doors, and unscreened garage windows MUST be closed prior to dusk year round. FYI – big brown bats are known to continue to fly well after temperatures below 32 degrees!
- Window mounted a/c units attract bats due to their electrical signature as well as the heat they produce. These must therefore be properly sealed when installed yearly to prevent bat entry.
- Bat guano on porches, decks, and shutters are not an indication of continued infestation. Big brown bats make use of exterior night roosts where they hang and digest their food. Bat guano on porches is normal bat behavior and is likely to continue for extended periods of time after the exclusion process. In the event that this becomes a concern Bat Free Batproofing has techniques to alter this behavior.
- Bat Free Batproofing offers professional guano removal/attic restoration services. For complete details and discussion please see our Attic Restoration page.
