Bat Removal

Bat Removal in Homestead

Safe. Humane. Professional Bat Removal.

Bats are a vital part of our ecosystem—especially here in Homestead, where they help keep mosquito populations in check. But when they move into your attic, walls, or roofline, it’s a different story. A bat infestation can quickly lead to property damage, strong odors, and serious health concerns.

At Proterra Pest Control, we offer safe, humane, and legal bat removal services tailored to Homestead’s unique climate and regulations. Our expert team knows how to get bats out—and keep them out—while protecting your home, your family, and the bats themselves.

Why You Might Have a Bat Problem in Homestead

Homestead’s warm climate means bats stay active almost all year. And while they tend to stay hidden during the day, they often find their way into attics, sheds, and wall voids looking for shelter.

Here’s what to watch for:

  • Squeaking or scratching in the attic or walls
  • Dark stains or oily marks near vents or rooflines
  • Guano (bat droppings) around your home’s exterior
  • Strong ammonia smells from urine buildup
  • Bats flying near your home at dusk or dawn

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to act—before minor issues turn into expensive repairs.

Why Bat Removal Needs to Be Done Right

You can’t just trap or spray bats like other pests. Here’s why:

  • It’s illegal to harm or kill bats—state and federal laws protect them
  • DIY removal often fails, leading to repeat infestations
  • Bat droppings (guano) can carry harmful fungi that cause respiratory illness
  • Guano and urine can damage insulation, wood, and drywall over time
  • Maternity seasons limit when removal can legally take place

That’s why professional removal matters. We follow all legal guidelines and use non-lethal exclusion techniques that let bats leave but not return.

How Our Bat Removal Works

At Proterra Pest Control, we use a proven step-by-step process:

1. Full Inspection: We check every nook and cranny for bat activity, entry points, droppings, and damage.

2. Humane Exclusion: We install one-way exits so bats can fly out—but not back in.

3. Sealing & Cleanup: After the bats are gone, we seal up all potential entry points and offer optional cleanup and deodorizing services.

4. Ongoing Protection: We offer seasonal inspections and preventative services to keep your home bat-free long-term.

Every step we take is humane, eco-conscious, and designed to comply with Homestead’s local wildlife laws.

Bat Removal FAQ

Is bat removal legal in Homestead?

Yes—but only when it follows strict laws protecting bats. We use humane, non-lethal exclusion methods that are 100% compliant with state and federal regulations.

Can I remove bats myself?

We don’t recommend it. DIY removal is risky for both you and the bats. Plus, it’s easy to miss hidden colonies or entry points, which leads to repeat infestations. Our team has the tools, training, and legal know-how to get it done right.

What time of year is best for bat removal?

Early spring or late summer is ideal—before and after bat maternity season. We’ll help you choose the safest and most legal time to begin exclusion.

What happens if I ignore the problem?

Bat droppings can accumulate fast, corroding wood and insulation while creating strong, lingering odors. Even worse, they can spread histoplasmosis, a serious lung infection. And if bats reproduce in your attic, the colony can grow quickly.

How do I keep bats from coming back?

Once we remove the bats, we seal every access point to prevent future nesting. We can also install bat houses nearby to redirect them to a more natural home. Regular inspections help keep your home secure.
