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 Norfolk.
Before you hire anyone, including our tech at 757-550-4886, 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 Norfolk 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, excellent website. In our 24ft log home ceiling, we think we have bats. Partly because we captured a larger bat flying above our bed and the next night there was a little one flying around. There is a small crack between the beam and ceiling. There is squeaking and poop on the floor below that is firm, but flakes and is about 1/2" long. What is odd that is not described on your website is that lots of little wood chips were pushed out with the poop. Do they cut extra room into the cracks to cause this? At first we thought it was rats, but based on your info and the bats in the house that we have no idea how they got in, we think they are rats. What do you think about the wood chips? Thanks. We are at 100 ft in the mountains near Norfolk VA.
My response: No idea about the wood chips. Bats are very fragile, and they wouldn't make wood chips. Maybe natural deterioration?
When would bats that have been forced out of their home base return to the home base. Would they return during maternity time or once they have been forced out do they never return to the original home base.
Good morning David! I found your website after standing outside last night only to look up and see quite a few BATS flying from the roofline of my house...Probably explains the small dog sized bat (yes I am exaggerating) that I recent had in my living room about a month ago which I managed to sequester it to the point where I could get it to fly out the door. Also probably explains some scratching I've heard but assumed it was a mouse. Is it a bad time of year to seal up the house and have them move on? It's pretty clear they've moved in and because it was warm last night they decided to go out for a spin :) I certainly do not want to use poison or have them killed... Can you give any advice? Appreciate your help!
