Bat Removal Services
for Apex, Cary, Chapel Hill, Clayton, Durham, Garner, Holly Springs, Knightdale, Morrisville, Raleigh, NC & Beyond

A bat flapping around your house at night sounds like something out of a nightmare. Bats will often roost in tight spaces like inside your eaves and around gable vents. Generally, the worst part about bats is the damage that their guano (feces) and urine can do to your home.

When you call Urban Wildlife and Bee Removal, we can safely and humanely provide bat removal services, as well as sealing off entry points. We can also clean up any mess they’ve left behind.

If you have a bat in your house, it is important to get it removed right away. Bats can spread disease, leave behind odors and damage your house. Bat guano has a fungus in it that can cause a disease called histoplasmosis. This disease can lead to chronic lung infection. Bats can also damage your house with droppings.

Signs That You Need Bat Removal

Knowing the signs that bats are living  in your home or property is crucial if you want to take prompt and effective action. Bats are nocturnal creatures that often seek shelter in dark, secluded areas, making it difficult to spot them directly. However, there are several signs that can indicate that it’s time for bat removal - even if you never see a single bat: 

• Droppings: One of the most noticeable signs of a bat infestation is the presence of droppings, also known as guano. Guano can typically be found near your home’s entry points or on the ground below areas where bats are nesting. Guano is characterized by its dark color and distinctly musty odor. 
• Stains: If you’ve noticed stains or discoloration on walls, ceilings, or other surfaces. Bats have oily fur that can leave marks when they come into contact with surfaces. These stains may appear as dark smudges or streaks and are commonly found near entry points or roosting areas. 
• Odor: If you notice a strong, musty odor in certain areas of your home, it could be a sign of a bat infestation. Bats (and their droppings) emit a pungent odor, especially in areas where they have been roosting for an extended period of time. In many cases, a musty smell is a homeowner’s first sign of a problem.
• Noises: If you hear scratching, fluttering, or squeaking noises, particularly at night, you might have bats living in your home. Bats navigate and communicate with one another using sound, so it’s possible that you’ll hear them vocalizing throughout the night or in the early morning. You might also hear light rhythmic tapping noises. 

If you observe any of these signs, contact the professionals at Urban Wildlife and Bee Removal. Our team can assess the situation, locate the bats’ roosting space, and safely and effectively address the problem. This can prevent health risks or structural damage.
