Bat Exterminator Services - RECON Pest Services
Hearing scratching sounds in your attic at night? Finding bat droppings under your roof eaves? At RECON Pest Services, we know how unsettling bat problems can be. These flying mammals roost in dark spaces and leave behind health hazards that put your family at risk.
Our bat removal services safely get these winged invaders out of your home and keep them from coming back. Bats carry diseases like rabies, and their droppings create serious health problems. They also damage insulation and create terrible smells that get worse over time.
Nebraska’s barns, old houses, and tree-lined properties attract several bat species looking for roosting spots. They squeeze through gaps smaller than your thumb and build colonies in attics, wall spaces, and under roof lines. Once bats move in, they return to the same spots year after year.
Bat Control Services
We handle all types of bat problems Nebraska properties face:
- Attic Bat Removal safely eliminates colonies living in upper storage areas and roof spaces. We remove the bats and clean up dangerous droppings that create health hazards.
- Wall Void Bat Control handles bats roosting inside walls where their scratching sounds keep families awake. These hidden colonies are hard to reach, but we have the tools and experience.
- Chimney Bat Services removes bats using fireplace flues as entry points and roosting areas. We install proper screens to prevent future problems while maintaining ventilation.
- Barn Bat Management controls large colonies in agricultural buildings where bats can number in the hundreds. We balance wildlife needs with property protection.
- Exclusion Barrier Installation seals entry points after bat removal to prevent recolonization. We use one-way doors that let bats leave but stop them from returning.
- Guano Cleanup Services safely removes contaminated droppings and replaces damaged insulation. Bat waste creates serious health risks that require professional handling.
- Structural Damage Repair fixes wood and insulation damage caused by long-term bat infestations. We restore areas to prevent future wildlife problems.
- Seasonal Timing Coordination schedules removal during legal periods that don’t harm baby bats. We follow wildlife protection laws while solving your bat problem.
Bat Removal: Safely Handling Bat Infestations
Nebraska bat removal requires special knowledge of both safety and wildlife laws:
- Little brown bats are the most common attic invaders. They form large colonies and return to the same roosting sites every year. Their droppings pile up and create health hazards.
- Big brown bats are larger and often roost in smaller groups. They prefer buildings over natural areas and can live for many years in the same location.
- Evening bats form medium-sized colonies and prefer tree cavities, but sometimes use buildings. They’re less common but can still cause problems when they move into homes.
All bat species are protected by law during certain times of year. Removal must be timed carefully to avoid harming babies and to follow state regulations. We handle all permits and legal requirements.
Bats carry rabies at higher rates than most mammals. Direct contact should always be avoided, and professional removal protects your family from disease exposure.
Frequently Asked Questions
General Bat Control
Are bats dangerous to people?
They can carry rabies, and their poop spreads sickness. Never touch bats with your hands and call pros for safe removal.
How do bats get into houses?
Through small gaps around your roof, vents, and chimneys. Holes smaller than your thumb are big enough for most bats.
When is it legal to remove bats?
Usually late summer through early spring when babies aren’t around. Laws protect mother bats and their young during summer months.
How many bats live in a group?
Anywhere from 12 to several hundred. Big groups make more damage and bigger health risks from piled up droppings.
Can bats damage my house?
Yes, their droppings damage insulation and wood. Large colonies can cause structural problems and terrible smells over time.
Safety and Health
Can I catch diseases from bats?
Yes, rabies from bites and histoplasmosis from breathing dust near droppings. Professional removal eliminates these health risks.
Is bat guano dangerous?
Very dangerous when dry droppings become airborne dust. It can cause serious lung infections that require medical treatment.
What should I do if I find a bat in my house?
Don’t touch it. Close it in a room, open windows, and call us immediately. Never handle bats without proper protective gear.
How do you remove bats safely?
We use protective equipment and one-way exclusion methods. Bats leave to hunt but can’t return through sealed entry points.
Can bats bite people?
Yes, when handled or cornered. Bat bites are small and might not be noticed, but they require immediate medical attention because of the rabies risk.
Treatment and Prevention
How long does bat removal take?
Usually 1–2 weeks for exclusion, then several weeks to ensure all bats have left. Cleanup and repairs take additional time depending on the damage.
Will bats come back after removal?
Not if we seal their entry points properly. Bats have strong site loyalty and will try to return unless blocked.
Can you remove bats in summer?
Not usually, because of laws protecting nursing mothers. We can assess problems and plan removal for legal periods.
How much does bat removal cost?
It depends on colony size, entry points, and cleanup needs. We provide detailed estimates after thorough inspections.
Do ultrasonic devices work on bats?
No, bats ignore these devices. Physical exclusion is the only reliable way to keep them out permanently.
