Lexington Bat Removal

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 Lexington.

I have communicated with our bat expert in Lexington for many years, and he abides by these bat removal principles:

  • Always perform a proper live exclusion.
  • Never use poisons or fumigants or kill bats.
  • Never use traps or attempt to relocate bats.
  • Never do a removal during the maternity season.
  • Seal all entry points shut with guarantee.
  • Offer attic cleanup and decontamination.
  • Properly Kentucky licensed and insured.
As I discuss repeatedly on this website, bat removal projects are not easy, and not for amateurs. I have seen many horrible attempts at bat colony removal throughout the years, done both by do-it-yourself homeowners and by incompetent companies. Never hire a Lexington pest control company that uses poisons for rodent or insect control. They often attempt the same approach for bats. Not only is this incredibly destructive and illegal in Kentucky, but it results in disaster for the homeowner, and does not actually solve the problem. It's very important that the removal of bats from the attic of your home is done in the correct manner, and there is only one correct way, with a live bat exclusion. To read more about this process, read my bats in the attic home page.

Before you hire anyone, including our tech at 859-475-5860, 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 Lexington 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!

David, I came across your website today and thoroughly enjoyed reading the content as well as looking at the great pictures. I especially liked the section on how to hire a professional and your statement to report any company that excludes during the times of year that exclusion is prohibited as well as reporting companies that utilize pesticides for bat infestations. As a family owned, fully licensed, and insured company that has been doing pest control for nearly 30 years, I was wondering how we can get on your list of approved professionals. Your website content as well as your personal experience leads the potential customer to take your advice and hire one of your recommended professionals and I believe that our company can maintain the high standard that you have come to expect from bat removal specialists. We are located in Lexington KY. Thanks again for the great information on the website and if you have any information on how to become one of your recommended bat professionals please let me know.
