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 St. Louis.
Before you hire anyone, including our tech at 314-255-1304, 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 St. Louis 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, First let me say I am really happy I found your site. My wife and I share your concern for the bats, and understand they need to be protected. My wife has been telling me for a while that there is a shortage of bats and we were not sure why. A few months ago we saw a documentary on the Smithsonian channel and learned about the fungus that is destroying massive colonies here in south eastern Missouri. Its a real shame. Thank you for creating this site to help people understand a little about the process of safely removing bats from their homes. Weeks ago, my wife called me on a business trip describing the fright she had with a bat in the house which a neighbor came over and helped her remove it. Last night, our cat Peanut cornered a bat in the attic (I knew because of the loud panicking chirping) and I had to save it/remove it so Peanut could not get at it. I got my heaviest gloves and gently dropped a bath towel on it, wrapped it up and let it go out side. I came up with that, Im glad your site recommended that (after the fact). Tonight, around dusk my daughter said she could hear a bat in the walls. I jumped up to investigate and I also heard the squeaking. I think I heard multiple bats scratching around. I thought the bats should be hibernating but it is unseasonably warm here (about 60 degrees yesterday and today) so that may have something to do with it? So that brings us to our adventure. I am going to try to follow your instructions to the best of my ability because I am very concerned for the safety of the bats. I am having my wife and 2 kids positioned outside the house tomorrow night to see if they can spot the main entry point. Thank you again for the site! If all else fails I'll call one of your experts.
