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 Charlottesville.
Before you hire anyone, including our tech at 434-333-7605, 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 Charlottesville 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!
Charlottesville wildlife control company bat reader email:
I have had two instances in the past month where a bat made its way into my house--yes, inside. The first was just before Christmas, and I was able to capture the creature and release it outside. The second was last night, with below 0 wind chills outdoors. Unable to reach animal control-or anyone else for that matter-I finally managed to capture the little guy. It was a case of capture him myself, or wait for one of my cats to do so. I am somewhat ashamed to say I threw him out into the cold, not knowing what else to do. My concern now is that I might have a colony roosting in my attic. And, shouldn't they be hibernating? If I DO find a colony up there, am I constrained by law to allow them to remain? I looked at your list of recommended bat removal professionals, and there were none in my area. I live in Virginia, near Charlottesville, so if you can provide the name of someone nearby, I would be grateful. Do you know of any humane Charlottesville wildlife removal companies? In the interim, do you have any suggestions for me? I am concerned that if more of the bats get inside, the cats will kill them. The one that was inside last night ended up clinging to a storage crate on the basement floor within easy access of the cat.
