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 Washington DC.
Before you hire anyone, including our tech at 202-754-8770, 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 Washington DC 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. I've enjoyed your site. Thank you. I am hoping you can help me. I'm a pregnant mother of a 2 year old in Washington DC who found a bat in her home earlier this week. We were able to get it out. Then the next night we heard a loud scratching noise in the walls of my sons bedroom. We've called everywhere and no one can come to help until a week from now. We've moved out as I just can't risk the health of my son or me and the baby and the noise is unbearable. I just know that there is a bat colony in my house. Everyone I call says its bat season and they can't come sooner. I am sure anyone with a bat has an emergency but the scratching in the walls is awful and the fact that I'm pregnant just makes it even more unbearable. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hello, I have just found out that the little pile of droppings(usually approximately 10 to 15 individual pieces) that are on my front porch stoop each Summer morning are from a bat that is roosting above the area in a corner every Summer night. I thought it was from a chipmunk that had chosen that spot to sleep but it has been confirmed it is a bat that must like the clean water source from the birdbath and the bugs that are attracted to the outside lights. My question is what to do with the waste that he is leaving? For the past few years I have been sweeping it off the porch into the grass in the front yard. Is that OK to do or should I be putting on a mask, collecting it and disposing of it elsewhere? AND, after removal, should I be daily cleaning that small area with something? Please help me with this dilemma as I am really concerned about this especially after I have read all the bad things about bat droppings!!
