Bat Removal Services West Palm Beach | Bat Removal Near Me
Bats are not something you want in your attic as they are one of the main transmitters of rabies, and their droppings can transmit the fungal infection histoplasmosis. Bats are federally protected, so trapping, poisoning and killing them are against the law. However, we can still help alleviate your bat problem.
Conducting bat exclusions is the best way to remove bats. Our technicians can find all the possible entry points and seal them, except for the main one, which is where we can install a bat one-way device.
One-way devices allow the bats to leave the attic, but not get back in. Because bats have to leave at night for food and water, installing a one way with the other openings sealed will be sure to keep your bat problem out.

Removing Bats from Attics
You are more likely to find bats in attics over any other area of your house. Bats love attics because they are similar to caves, their natural habitat. Bats can cause massive amounts of damage in your attic, tearing up and soiling insulation, which will require removal, replacement, and sanitization of the area.
Thankfully, Western Wildlife Control offers bat removal from attic services. We can install one-way devices in the attic’s entrances, as well as provide seal outs, and insulation removal/replacement.
Diseases Carried By Bats
Bats often leave large buildups of guano, or bat droppings, in attics. When bat droppings are moved, it can stir up histoplasmosis spores, which can make you very sick.
Bats are one of the main transmitters of rabies, responsible for over 70% of rabies infections each year. Bat teeth are very small, and some people can be bitten without even knowing it. Because of this, any direct encounter between humans and bats is treated as a possible rabies transmission, and the best course of action is to capture the animal for testing.
If you need bat guano removed or bats removed for rabies testing, the best course of action is to call the bat removal experts at Western Wildlife Control.
