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 Lakeland.
Before you hire anyone, including our tech at 863-232-5058, 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 Lakeland 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, I realize that you are probably inundated with emails re bats and I know your website covers most things but the bat I have in the bedroom is lying on the floor just behind the french windows and I thought at first it was dead but when I gently poked it with a broom it's mouth opened and it kind of snared at me. It has been in the same position now for three days and hasn't moved even after poking it. It is a little brown bat and I know it came in through the chimney in the bedroom. I have had this happen three times in the the last three weeks. Do you think it is dying or that is is just sleeping. I don't believe it wakes up at night as it really is in an identical position to what it has been for three days. I am in Southern Spain and I cannot find anyone to advise me about bats. We don't appear to have any kind of bat association here and I am not even sure if they are a protected species in Florida. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. Kind regards, Davina
My response: Is it currently cold outside in Lakeland FL? The bat could be in a state of torpor, which is a kind of hibernation. If you don't want it in the house, wrap it up in a towel and toss it outside. Of course, it sounds like you've got a colony of them living in the attic or walls. That must be addressed at some point.
