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 Corpus Christi.
Before you hire anyone, including our tech at 361-356-3717, 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 Corpus Christi 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, My name is Merete and I live in the UK. About 6 years ago, my husband and I built our dream house on Padre Island. It has a tiled roof and a terrace facing east, partly shaded by a ca. 12 foot roof extension 'overhang'. Underneath the tiles is quite a lot of insulation material put there to mitigate the effect of the hot Mediterranean sun. We have been aware for some time that bats have taken up residence in the overhang, or at least, that is where they enter/exit. Occasionally, we have had them fluttering around inside as well. Until now it hasn't been too much of a problem, but in the last year their number, judging by the amount of droppings they leave, has grown alarmingly. When we get out there in the morning, we now have to hose down the whole terrace area, which is large, about 15 x 40 foot, as the droppings cover table, chairs, under foot etc. Not exactly appetising to have to crunch your way to the s*** covered table and chairs to have your breakfast! Basically, it requires a daily power-hosing down. This is quite untenable, and we would welcome any suggestion as to how we may deal with that. Here's hoping you can come up with something..... Regards, Merete
The best option is to seal the entry holes shut after the bats are out due to seasonal migration (or out at night), but if that is not possible, you may have to install netting over the entire area. It can be done to look very unobtrusive.
