Bat Removal Services

Most customers have the same feelings about bats, they love them around the home, but don’t want them living in their homes.

Why should you evict bats?

There is a good reason why bats aren’t wanted in the home. The biggest concern is rabies. Rabies is transmitted when an infected bat bites or scratches a person’s skin. Studies have shown that most bats do not carry the rabies virus, but unfortunately you can’t tell by just looking at the bat. Bats can also carry another disease known as Histoplasmosis, which is a respiratory disease caused by a fungal spores found in bat droppings.

Other concerns with bat colonies in the home include, loud noises and squealing at night, persistent odors and stains on outside/inside walls, attics, and ceilings. Another major concern is bat droppings in the attic, if bat droppings are noticed, cleaning and sanitation are usually suggested or required.

There is a bat flying around in my home!

If you have seen a bat in the home, the best thing to do is trap it in an isolated room or area, put a towel under the door and call Advanced Wildlife Control to come and remove your bat.

I heard noises in the wall, what should I do?

Not all noises or loud squealing in your home are from bats, however if you are hearing sounds in your attic you can schedule an appointment and we will determine what is making the sounds, where they are entering your home, and how we will rid you of that animal and seal that entry point(s).

Anyone who is bitten or scratched by a bat must receive the rabies vaccination! Do not pick up a bat that is lying on the floor or that is on your wall.  Often time’s people assume that the bat is dead and this is the most likely time to get bit by a bat.  Most of AWC’s customers that have been bit by a bat where trying to get rid of the bat by themselves and thus the problem.  The vaccination can cost you $4,000 for the 7 shots!  If a small child or an elderly adult has been exposed and they are unable to communicate with you about the bat they should be given the shots as well.  If the bat is captured it can be tested and then determined if it has rabies or not.  We have captured approximately 10 bats which turned out positive for rabies, however, all it takes is one bat and only one person on this earth that we know of has survived rabies.  That case occurred in Fond du lac, WI.  Under no circumstance should you release a bat that has bitten or scratched you.
If you’re brave enough to attempt this by yourself, you can always try and leave a door open, but this doesn’t always work and unless you watch it fly out of your home you have no guarantee it left.
We provide bat proofing/eviction services for all of the cities and towns located in Ozaukee, Washington, Milwaukee, and Waukesha counties.
When larger colonies of small or large brown bats have inhabited your home, it may be necessary to have Advanced Wildlife Controls technicians perform an attic insulation clean out and sanitizing. During our initial inspection we will identify if your attic space needs to be cleaned out and properly sanitized to insure that no hazardous waste are left in your attic. We can remove the bat guano, contaminated insulation and sanitizing the attic space. After the insulation is removed we will then re-install new insulation into the attic, often times this procedure is covered under your home-owners insurance. Our technicians will work with you and your agents to insure that this problem is corrected for little or no cost to you.
