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 Bellingham.
Before you hire anyone, including our tech at 360-707-7770, 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 Bellingham 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!

Hi David, Thank you for putting such an informative website out, it has been very helpful! I have a Gothic Revival house that was finished in the 1850s in central Kentucky and have been having a lot of trouble with bats. I read that not all of the bats are ever 100% gone from a colony. Is there an exception for winter time? I had bats behind almost every single shutter, in the attic and in one of the chimneys, but I'm not seeing them right now so I'm wondering if it's a good time to seal things up. Also, do you have any recommendations for how to keep them out from behind the shutters? Thank you so much for your help!
Hello David, Recently we bought a home, about a week ago. We bought an older home and down in the laundry room there is a window that leads to a sealed in overhang of the house. Well I looked out the window and saw bat droppings. Now this window has lots of insulation between the glass and the overhang. I can see where they have made little holes and nests in the insulation. We had a home inspection with a highly recommended inspector. He had told us there was a small hole in our siding and I didn't think anything of it. We looked at this home twice, both times around dusk. I did not see any of this when I pulled back the curtain in the laundry room to look out the window to see what was there. Now I am also wondering why the home inspector didn't see this. I can also see in the laundry room between the beams of the basement wall, were the foundation meets the house there is insulation and there are the same kinds of holes. I am pretty freaked out!!! I know bats are dormant in winter. Can you do a live bat removal in the winter? We called a company out of Bellingham Washington to give us an estimate, they will be coming out on 12/26 So now that we have the home and I was going to hang up a new curtain over the window.. I saw all of this and freaked out. Our current home that we are renting is an amazing home, the owners are selling it! Funny thing is I couldn't wait to leave because this summer we have had three bats in our house. I know there are coming in through the attic and told the owner this since the vent has no screen over it and can see them flying into the attic. The last thing In the house we just bought is a bat. I previously had a home for 12 years and never had a bat in it! So my question I guess is what is the best way to remove them in winter? Thanks
