Do you hear fluttering in your attic at night? Noticing mysterious droppings or scratching sounds in the walls? You may have bats taking up residence in your home — and while bats play an important role in our ecosystem, they don’t belong inside your living space.
At Wings and Tails Wildlife, we specialize in humane bat exclusion services across Westchester County, NY, Putnam County, NY, and Fairfield County, CT. Our approach is always mindful, safe, and ethical — because while we protect your home, we also protect the bats.
Why Humane Bat Exclusion Matters
Bats are fascinating creatures. They eat thousands of insects every night, helping to control pests naturally. But when they find their way into attics, walls, or chimneys, things can quickly become a problem.
That’s where our humane bat exclusion comes in. Instead of harmful traps or poisons, we use one-way exclusion methods that allow bats to safely exit your home — but not return. This ensures your home is bat-free while keeping the animals safe and undisturbed.
The Dangers of Bats in Your Home
While bats themselves are generally not aggressive, the problems they bring into a home are serious:
1. Guano (Bat Droppings)
Bat droppings, known as guano, can build up quickly in attics and walls. Guano is not only messy and foul-smelling — it can be dangerous. When left to accumulate, guano can release spores into the air that cause histoplasmosis, a respiratory disease that poses real health risks to you and your family.
2. Structural Damage
Over time, guano can saturate insulation, stain wood, and weaken structures. The cleanup can be costly if not addressed early.
3. Noise & Odor
Bats are nocturnal. That means scratching, squeaking, and fluttering noises during the night. Combined with strong odors from guano, living with bats can quickly become unbearable.
4. Potential for Rabies
Although rare, bats are one of the more common carriers of rabies in North America. Any physical contact with a bat should be taken seriously.
Why You Should Call an Expert?
Bat exclusion is not a DIY job. Attempting to seal up entry points without proper knowledge can trap bats inside your home, making the problem worse. Handling bats or guano without the right safety equipment can also expose you to serious health risks.
