Understanding the Dangers of Bat Infestations: Protect your home & Health
American Bio-Tech Offers Safe & Humane Bat Removal Services
Bats carry a variety of infectious diseases and parasites, including lice, mites, fleas, and even bedbugs. Two of the most serious health risks are rabies and histoplasmosis—a dangerous infection caused by spores in bat droppings (guano).
Beyond the health concerns, bats nesting in your attic can seriously hurt your property value. As the colony grows, they damage insulation, stain ceiling boards, and create an increasingly hazardous environment.
If left alone, the problem doesn’t go away—it gets worse. Bats will keep multiplying, and even if you exclude them later, they’re likely to relocate to a nearby structure, possibly another part of your home or a neighbor’s.
If you’re hearing scratching, squeaking, or finding droppings, you might already have a bat problem. Don’t wait—this is one of those issues that needs to be handled fast and professionally.

Bats tend to enter the upper areas of your home’s roof line and require an opening of only 3/8 to ¼ inch, in order to enter a structure. Most homes are extremely vulnerable to colonizing bats, and this is where our years of experience and attention to vital details makes the difference. This is why we stand by our workmanship and provide an unprecedented 20 year warranty on materials and labor. The process by which bats are permanently removed from a structure involves careful inspection of the entire skin of the house. Areas which are accessible to bats are identified and sealed permanently and cosmetically.
Areas or points of entry, where bats are currently gaining access and egress, will be outfitted with a temporary exclusion device. This humane device will allow the animals to exit the structure and prevent them from re-entering. As bats live 20-25 years they will continually return (multiple times during their lifetime) to their old roosting site and explore possible points of entry. This is why it is imperative that every aspect of sealing a structure is completed in a professional manner with materials which are compatible to the home’s exterior and allow for normal venting.
