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 Allentown.
Before you hire anyone, including our tech at 610-927-7792, 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 Allentown 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!

Dear David, My daughter and her new husband just discovered that the townhouse they are renting has a bat colony in the attic. The bats have been heard in the vents, walls and at least one bat has entered the living quarters while they were awake and making noise. The landlord has hired a pest management firm to remove the bats, but insist that it is safe for my daughter (who is immune compromised) to remain in the home with the bats flying around. My questions are: 1. Is this maternity season in Allentown Pennsylvania? If so, who has the authority to allow removal? 2. With bats in the air vents, what measures need to be taken to clean spores left behind? 3. The property manager is talking about the bats being "gassed". Is this acceptable? 4. Do you know of a bat expert in Northern Lehigh County? The doctors are suggesting testing for histoplasmosis and possibly rabies shots. We need help! Many thanks,Anne
My Response: The odds of histo or rabies are incredibly low. Maternity season should be ending about now. Maybe one more week to be safe. If bats are "gassed" you will have problems bigger than rabies or histo! Fire that company immediately.
David - Last night there was a bat in our Bethlehem PA bedroom. After getting me out of the room, my husband went back in to try to get it out. We can't seem to find it. We have looked everywhere- behind curtains, on top of furniture, under furniture, on top of closet shelves. It seems to have dissapeared. There are no open windows or doors anywhere. What should we do and how do we findout how it got in? I am from Allenown PA. Please help or there will be very little sleep going on in our home:(

- Never do a removal during the maternity season.
- Seal all entry points shut with guarantee.
- Offer attic cleanup and decontamination.
