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 Houston.
Before you hire anyone, including our tech at 346-415-5001, 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 Houston 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 a chimney that has several bats living in it. Not sure exactly how many. The chimney has no holes in the brick mortar....it's ceramic lined and the bats are living just above the flue door, above the fire box. I could see one (good sized one, too) by looking down with a flashlight. How do they get in and out ? Do they climb up the walls and then take off..... or do they fly 20' vertically up the 13"x13" shaft ? I built an exclusion device. It's based on the Bat Cone concept. I have a 14"x14" wood sheet that has a 4" hole cut in one of the corners. I thought it should be by the edge to enable them to find it easily. I took a 4" flexible dryer exhaust vent hose and connected it to the hose, with about 2" hanging down below the wood. I will put that hose up against the ceramic liner in one of the corners. The hose comes up, then turns 180 downward. At the end of the hose (part that looks toward the ground)...I attach a large liter-sized coke bottle. The bottom of the bottle is cut out and I taped that to the flexible hose. The other end has the mouth of the bottle. I cut the tip off so that I have about 1" opening. My theory is that they will find the outlet, climb up the hose, fall out the bottom, do their hunting and when they come back they won't have anything to grip on and will be unable to enter the bottle. I would leave it on there several days and then install the chimney cap with a fine mesh covering. But are they climbing up the inside liner? There are no holes, cracks, etc. They're not flying up vertically that high are they? Will this design work?

- Never use traps or attempt to relocate bats.
- Never do a removal during the maternity season.
- Seal all entry points shut with guarantee.
