The problem
Bat Removal & Exclusion, done right
Bats get into attics and walls through gaps as small as a pencil is wide, usually along the ridge, at the roof returns or behind trim. One or two can turn into a colony, and the guano that builds up under them is a real health problem.
Bats aren't trapped. They're excluded: we let them fly out on their own through one-way devices, then seal the house so they can't return. Done right, it's permanent.
Signs to look for
How to tell it’s bats
- Bats flying out at the roofline or eaves around dusk
- Dark droppings (guano) piling up in the attic or below an entry point
- Brown staining around small gaps on the outside of the house
- Squeaking or rustling in the walls in the evening
- A bat in the living space
How we handle it
Out first. Then keep them out.
Inspect
We find every gap bats are using or could use, often dozens of small spots along the roofline.
Seal the secondary gaps
We close up every potential entry except the main ones the colony is actively using.
Install one-way devices
Bats leave at night to feed and can't get back in. No bats are harmed.
Seal and clean up
Once they're gone we remove the devices, seal the last openings and can clean up guano and contaminated insulation.
This covers
- Big brown bats
- Little brown bats
- Other Maine bats
Questions
What people ask us

(207) 531-5524I found a bat in my house. What should I do?
Close off the room, keep pets and kids away, and don't handle it with bare hands. Bats can carry rabies. If there's any chance someone was bitten or a bat was in a room where someone was sleeping, contact your doctor. Call us and we'll help get it out and find out how it got in.
Can you get rid of bats in the summer?
Sometimes. Inspection, sealing and cleanup can happen any time, but the actual exclusion has to be timed around the pup season. We'll plan the job so it's done legally and the bats don't end up trapped inside.
Is bat guano dangerous?
It can be. Large amounts of guano can carry fungal spores that are harmful to breathe. Don't sweep it up yourself; we use the right protective gear and can remove it.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the animal, how much of the house is affected and how hard the entry points are to reach. We inspect first and give you a straight written quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Will it come back?
Not if the entry points are sealed. Removal alone is a band-aid: another animal finds the same gap. We close the gaps with heavy-gauge materials so the problem is actually fixed.
Which areas do you cover?
Cumberland, York and Androscoggin counties in southern Maine, including Portland, South Portland, Scarborough, Biddeford, Saco, Brunswick, Lewiston and Auburn. Not sure if you’re in range? Call and ask.
