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 Buffalo.
All of Genesee County, NY including the towns of Alabama, Alexander, Batavia, Bergon, Byron, Darien, Leroy, Pembroke, Stafford, and Pavillion.
Before you hire anyone, including our tech at 716-989-5055, 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 Buffalo 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 the chimneys of a new and large addition to the old farmhouse. I smelled the guano from inside one room. Then I gently rattled the closed damper and heard a lot of squealing. These are 60 foot tall brick and ceramic lined chimneys built in 2000. When I first moved into my 1835 farmhouse and began renovations, when starting the removal of a cracked plaster ceiling under an attic I had not entered, I inhaled some guano. I fell extremely ill. I thought I had the flu. I went so far into feverish delirium that, I recognized in hindsight, I was beyond seeking help for myself. Its amazing I just did not die. Following that, I left the old plaster and installed sheet rock over it. The guano is still up there. But over several years of gradually finding and filling gaps in the winter when the bats were gone, I managed to eliminate them from the house. The many barns remain full of bats though. I'll follow your advice to watch for the egress from the chimneys at night to spot any masonry flaws (though they are relatively new), wait for winter, then screen the clay chimney pots on top. Sad story: I remember 30 years ago when I moved to this farm my farmer neighbor showing me the screen cone on a pole he used to catch bats leaving his roof at night. He held the cone over the exit holes. He would then drown them in the pond. He said one night he caught and drowned 900. I noticed a coincidence this summer. We have had few bats and few mosquitoes for many years (more than seven). This year there is a substantial increase in the population of both on our farm. Is this a related occurrence? Do bat populations appear or increase in an area when mosquito populations increase? Thanks for putting up a very helpful website. If you hade not done so, best to warn people about the hazards of guano. Bob
