Bat removal and exclusion
Humane bat exclusion, one-way cone planning and attic clean-up guidance. Bats are protected, so the work has to be done correctly and at the right time of year.
How this service works
Bats are protected, so the work is about letting them leave and stopping them returning, at a time of year that is safe for the colony.
01
Roost inspection
We identify the roost, map every entry point and establish whether dependent young are present.
02
Timing assessment
Exclusion is scheduled for a window that is both legal and humane. If it is the wrong time of year we say so and book it properly.
03
One-way exclusion
Cones and valves let bats leave but not re-enter, so nothing is trapped inside the structure.
04
Sealing and clean-up
Once the roost is clear, every gap is sealed permanently and we advise on guano removal and insulation.
Properties we help
The right plan depends on the property, the access and how far the problem has spread.
Common bat questions
Can you remove bats at any time of year?
No. There is a window during which young bats cannot fly, and excluding then would trap them inside. We will tell you the correct timing for your property rather than doing work that is both unlawful and ineffective.
Are bats dangerous?
Bats are beneficial and generally avoid people, but any direct contact should be assessed by a health professional straight away. Accumulated guano is also a genuine respiratory hazard, so never handle a bat directly.
Will they come back next year?
Not if the entry points are sealed properly. Bats return to the same roost by habit, so permanent sealing after exclusion is what ends the cycle.
Book a bat roost inspection
Book before 1pm and we can usually attend the same day.
