Bats are beneficial creatures that help control the insect population in your area, but when they create nests and roosts in your home or business, it can be a huge problem. Bat guano or bat feces can be harmful to humans as they may contain fungal spores that cause Histoplasmosis, a respiratory disease that can be fatal if left untreated.
There’s also the constant noise and smell that bats can cause. If you have a colony of bats in your attic or other areas, it is very important to get rid of them as soon as possible. You should use a professional bat removal service provider in Florida (like us!). To handle your bat infestation problem.

Bat Removal from Attics in Micco, Florida
Our humane bat removal service will keep your home free from diseases and damage caused by these animals. For many homeowners, the best solution is to perform an exclusion (or “bat-proofing”) which involves sealing all the access points shut with heavy-duty materials such as steel or wire mesh screens designed specifically for excluding bats.
Once that is done we’ll also repair the damage done to your home’s interior and exterior to make your house look as if the bats were never there.
Micco Bat Removal
Bats are nocturnal creatures, so you’ll likely spot them flying around your home at night. It can be quite disturbing to see bats flying around your home if they are living in your attic, walls or leaving droppings. They can also transmit diseases such as bat guano, which could cause serious health problems to people.
Once you’ve confirmed a bat problem, it’s time to call for help from experts; if left untreated, these animals can cause serious damage and pose health risks. Although bats look harmless, their guano can be full of harmful spores. This infection can cause histoplasmosis. It is a condition that often causes flu-like symptoms and worsens over time. If you have any questions about bat control or handling of a bat problem, contact AAAC Wildlife Removal for information and assistance.
Bat Extermination vs. Bat Removal
It can be frightening to discover bats living in your home. Your first instinct may be to call the pest control company. However, Florida law prohibits killing bats. Florida law protects bats. They can’t be killed unless they pose a danger to human health and safety. So, it is important that a licensed and experienced bat removal company is consulted. This will ensure that the bats are safely and humanely removed from your home.
AAAC Wildlife Removal experts will never use poisons to remove bats. We believe in safe and humane methods to remove any wildlife infestation.
Bat Damage
Bat guano or urine can damage the structure of your house. It can lead to wood rot and structural damage. It can also cause stains on ceilings and walls, which can be very unsightly. In addition, the weight of guano build-up can also cause ceiling cave-ins, which can lead to expensive repairs. It is important to get rid of bat guano as soon as possible. The longer they wait, the more damage they will do to your home.
Bat Exclusion
The best method of bat removal in Micco is to seal up any areas that the bats might be using as entry points. This is known as exclusion. It ensures that bats won’t return to your home after they have been removed from their existing roosting areas. Bat exclusion is quite a thorough process that requires an inspection of the exterior and interior areas where bats might be getting in.
These entry points may include chimneys, vents, gaps under garage doors or beneath eaves, even holes as tiny as a half-inch. Once these locations have been identified by our bat removal specialist we will take steps to ensure that they are sealed off so no other bats can get inside your home.
Removing Bats in the Attic
Removing bats from Micco homes requires attention to detail and expertise. Knowing how many bats are roosting in your Micco home is important. It is also crucial to identify the species of bats you have so you can safely and humanely remove them.
Our team has extensive experience with wild animals and is licensed to handle bat removals in Micco homes. Bats should be handled by professionals who are experienced in dealing with them. They are not like other pests that can be killed or swatted away without consequences. AAAC Wildlife Removal is available to help you if you have a bat problem.
This is how we handle bat exclusions:
- We spend a great deal of time identifying bat entry points and then sealing them shut
- We set up one-way doors so that bats can exit but not reenter the building
- Double check that all bats are excluded and out of your home
- We then seal all entry points with steel wool or mesh screens to prevent re-entry
- After this, we go through and do a thorough clean-up of any guano left in the attic or walls.
- Proceed with replacement of soiled insulation.
- Repair of wildlife damage, both inside and outside of the home.
The first step we take is to spend a great deal of time identifying bat entry points. To prevent future infestations, it is important to ensure that there are no other entry points. Next, you will need to install one-way doors that allow bats to exit your home but not return in. This is a humane and safe way to get rid of bats.
We then double-check that all bats are out of your home to prevent accidental contact with any bat that may have been missed. We seal all entrance points with steel wool and mesh screens to stop bats from entering again.
Next is to do a thorough clean-up using professional-grade cleaners and sanitizers for any fecal matters left behind by the bats in your home’s floor and insulation. We go through great lengths to ensure that your home is free of any odors and guano. After the insulation is removed, it is necessary to fog with enzyme cleaner in order to disinfect every corner.
Once the attic is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, we look at wildlife damage. We’ll fix any damage they may have done inside or outside of your home to make your house look new again.
Dangers of DIY Bat Removal
Bats are known to be carriers of deadly viruses such as rabies and leptospirosis. Their guano can also be toxic and infect people with histoplasmosis.
Histoplasmosis is the most common disease (besides rabies) associated with bats and can be fatal if contracted by people – especially those with compromised immune systems – which includes young children, elderly people, and pregnant women. This is why it is not recommended to attempt to remove bats by yourself.
