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 Des Moines.
Before you hire anyone, including our tech at 515-446-3748, 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 Des Moines 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!

Thanks for your informative website. My kids heard an animal noise in the wall of our den, recorded it, and it has been identified as a bat. As far as I know, we've never had bats in our house. I checked the attic space above the den and found a couple small droppings on the insulation, but very few. I believe it (or they) have gotten in between the chimney and the siding. Since there doesn't appear to be a colony in the attic is it possible they'll leave when it warms up and not return? Or, having found a cozy spot, am I advised to contact a company to properly have them excluded when it warms up a bit but before breeding season? Thanks for your advice!
Just wanted to say hi and mention that your website is great. I have been doing bat work now for seven years and will start my eight season this year. I work with get bats out, and we have the same ethical approach to our exclusions as you do. Would be interested to see if we could refer one another, curious where you mainly work out of. Hope to hear back from you sometime soon.
Hey David. Just read your website and I have bats in the attic. My state (Iowa) isn't listed in your list. My roofer is doing my roof and said some have come flying out at him. 5 live ones and a dead one. Does that mean I have a lot of them? He said he sealed up all the openings. It's January so they're hibernating. I don't know what to do, don't have the money to pay someone. I'm really upset about this.
