Bat Removal In Michigan
It’s about time for bats to be seen again at dusk flying around your neighborhood/yard. If you see bats flying near your home, they MAY be residing in your home! Some householders have had bats for years without being aware of them. If you believe that you may have bats or are just curious, you can do a little bat detective work yourself by following these simple “LWL”steps below.
1-Look
Inspect the exterior of your home or building
Search for droppings on the ground, deck and porches, on siding or windows (you cold see some white urine staining on the siding or windows).
Bat guano or mice droppings-
How can you recognize their (bats) droppings?
Do the crumble test! Roll a dropping in a piece of tissue between your finger and thumb – if it feels hard then you probably have mice, not bats. A bat dropping will crumble to dust quite easily because it consists of indigestible insect parts and be shiny.
Bat guano found on my porch.
Bats feed at night for 30/60 minutes at a time, eating up to 1500 to 2000 insects in that time. They then roost in an area to digest those insects. Bats may fly back into the structure where are roosting or they may find an area (a corner in an entry way is common) to roost outside the structure. Bats are territorial and will stay close to where they “live”
2-Watch
Serve some “watchman Duty”
Stand at different sides of the structure outside around sunset (Recommend having more then one person helping to cover all sides of the structure at once, but if it is just you, then circle around).
Difficultly with the DIY “watchman duty”-
It depends on what type of species of bats you may be hosting as to when they will make their exit.
3-Listen
Listen for scratching on ceiling or scratching in walls
Are the scratching sounds from mice or bats?
If you hear scratching in your walls or on your ceiling, it may be mice or bats. If the noise is more at dusk and dawn, and is in mostly in one area, and in that area all the time, It is a good chance that it is bats in your attic or walls (Please be aware bats may have more then one entry point, so you could hear noise in a few different areas).
So what do you do now that you know you have bats? Perhaps you are wondering if there is a quick and dirty way to perform your own bat removal. You are probably thinking there has to be a way I can do this myself! But remember bats are a vital part of our eco-system, eating many insects (including mosquitoes) as part of their nightly diet and are protected by the Michigan Department Of Natural Resources and Environment. Bat Removal & Prevention, Inc. is a Michigan based wildlife control company with over 13 years in experiences and specializes in small to large colony humane bat removal. Failing to follow the correct course of action when evicting bats from a home may subject a homeowner to more of a problem then originated. So please don’t kill bats. We can help you. Really. At times you may be able to do your own bat removal, but if you notice that you have a colony of bats, call Bat Removal & Prevention, Inc. we don’t kill bats and perform exclusion that are safe and humane with the welfare of our winged creatures being our primary concern.

Welcome to Bat Removal & Prevention- Michigan’s Professional Wildlife Control Company!
Bat Removal & Prevention Inc., is one of Michigan’s foremost leading authorities on residential and commercial wildlife control. Specializing in trapping, removal and relocating of all nuisance wildlife small to large, including: bats, birds, mice, rodent control, raccoons, skunks, fox, coyote, deer and much more! The owner has over 13 plus years of experience with bat removal and colony relocation and can work with any size job and budget!
Bat Removal & Prevention Inc., has successfully completed hundreds of live bat exclusions and guaranteeds all work with a full five year warranty. Bat removal and bat control is not your average “DIY” job. We have come across many of the “DIY bat removals” where it has caused the home/business owner more stress and damage than necessary. We will walk you through the steps of your bat removal process, sometimes handling your insurance claims one-on-one for you. Once the bats and animals are excluded from the structure, we will make all necessary repairs to prevent bats from returning. During our initial inspection we will determine damage caused by the bats/wildlife. Sometimes a full attic restoration or clean up of damaged insulation is highly recommended to restore your attic and insulation to its original state. Bat Removal & Prevention, Inc. offers compassionate and thorough full-service removal and exclusion programs. We even work with your home owners insurance to help cover the costs!
Why get the bats out?
Bats/wildlife can cause a great amount of damage to your attic and become a health hazard. Besides just the aggravation of having an unwanted critter in your home, bat guano (bat droppings) carry a wide range of bacteria and fungi spores, which can become airborne and dangerous to you or anyone in your home. One known fungus called Histoplasmosis, may be carried by air to different parts of your house and lead to influenza-like symptoms in humans. The infection may even turn serious and cause high fevers, pneumonia, and if left untreated, can also turn fatal especially in the case of infants, children, the elderly, and immunologically challenged people like those suffering from AIDS or cancer. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Histoplasmosis infection in humans can even cause blindness.
Mice In The House?
In need of rodent control (mice control, squirrel removal, chipmunk control/removal, rat control, etc.)?
Rodents can become a headache trying to get rid of them and cause a significant amount of damage to your home or business including chewing on wires and gnawing holes through your walls. They are very quick creatures and getting rid of them is usually a tricky task. Bat Removal & Prevention, Inc. also specializes in rodent control and removal. If you have squirrels in the attic or mice in the house, we offer a poison free rodent control program. See our services pages on more information on rodent control in Michigan.
