SiBats are usually classified as a pest species due to their habits of living in houses. The most common complaints include the following:

• Bats living in the attic
• Bats living in the chimney
• Odor due to bat droppings
• Bats swarming around building
• Loose bat stuck inside home

For these reasons, many people wish to have colonies of bats removed from the building. Please be aware that this is a specialty service.

SInce it's a very common problem, I have here an advice article with photos on how to get bats out of the attic. If you just have a single bat (or two) flying around inside your house and you need to get it outside safely, read my bat in the house page. I have also written a page about how to get rid of bats in the chimney. Below is a short guide about getting bats out of buildings. Please read the advice and click on the supplemental information. In the end, I have to be very honest with you - it's not easy work, especially for beginners. I myself did several dozen bat jobs, and made many big mistakes, before I got good at it. If you need bat removal, for the sake of your health, property, and even for the sake of the bats, please consider hiring a professional. My list is probably the best resource of bat control experts in the country, because I've researched it myself.

Bat Removal - How To Get Bats Out of Buildings

Step 1: Perform a full inspection of the building. This is to determine exactly how the bats are getting in and out. Click here to read more about how to do a bat inspection.

Step 2: Perform an attic inspection, and learn to identify the species of bat. This is important because different bats have different birthing and hibernating seasons. Read more here on my colonizing bat species page.

Step 3: Exclude the bats - DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRAP THEM. Read here why you should not try to do bat trapping, but rather bat exclusion, which is the process of letting them fly out, but not back in, to the building.

Step 4: Seal up the house to keep bats out permanently. In fact, much of this is done prior to the exclusion - just be sure not to seal up the primary exit points while any bats are inside!! Read more about how to seal up the building properly on my bat prevention page.
