Not all wildlife removal companies are the same. Some have experience with bat removal projects, and are familiar with the proper methods for
bat exclusion. But others use incorrect techniques, such as bat traps, summer exclusions, or worse, fumigants. Do your research before you hire someone! I personally recommend our field technician for bat control in Athens-Clarke.
Before you hire anyone, including our tech at 678-809-6635, talk to them, and make sure that they understand what they are doing, and that they have experience. Be sure that they do abide by the principles I outlined above. This is not just for the sake of the bats - I'm no tree hugger - it's for the sake of doing the job correctly, for you and your property. The fact that it's good for the bats as well is a lucky coincidence. And really, bats are good animals, which I'm sure you realize. I hope you have a good experience with your Athens-Clarke bat control project. You can email me personally if you have any problems with our tech, and I will talk to him, but I doubt that will be necessary. Good luck!

We have bats in a cottage in Northern Georgia. We have found many entrance ways into the cottage and have filled them or fixed them. We had to replace the roof a couple of years ago and found places where the bats had been crawling under the shingles. The problem is that we still have bats. The cottage was built in the early 1900's and has a whole bunch of little areas where they can get in. We have caulked inside and outside. The cottage is painted brown so we have a hard time seeing any marks of entry and exit. We have thought of putting up a mosquito net in the cottage to close off certain areas to see if we can find a specific area that they maybe coming into the cottage. The last resort is to put up soffit and fascia, which is expensive. Each time we close a point of entry we notice a reduction of activity of bats in the cottage, but by the next summer the activity increases. I know you say to not close up entry holes in the summer. When is the earliest that we can close off the cottage without leaving little bats inside?
