Pittsburgh Bat Removal
Expert Bat Exclusion & Attic Sanitization
Professional Solutions for Bats in the Attic
Discovering bats in your Pittsburgh, Mt. Lebanon, or North Hills home requires immediate professional attention. Bats are protected species in Pennsylvania, and their removal must be handled with specialized exclusion techniques. Varment Guard brings decades of experience to provide humane, permanent solutions for bat infestations and comprehensive attic decontamination.
The Bat Exclusion Process
Our specialists perform a meticulous structural audit of your roofline, identifying entry points as small as a quarter-inch. We install professional-grade one-way exclusion devices that allow the bats to exit safely but prevent their return. This is the only legal and effective way to clear a colony from a residential structure.
Pittsburgh Bat Expert FAQ
How do you get bats out of a Pittsburgh attic?
We utilize a professional "Live Exclusion" method. Our specialists identify every entry point on your roofline and install one-way exclusion valves. This allows the bats to leave the structure naturally at night but prevents them from re-entering. Once the colony has safely relocated, we perform a total structural seal-up.
Is bat guano dangerous to my family?
Yes. Accumulated bat guano can harbor Histoplasmosis spores, a fungal respiratory infection. In the confined space of an attic, these spores can be pulled into your HVAC system and circulated through the home. We use HEPA-filtered vacuum systems to safely remove contaminated material and sanitize the space.
When is bat maternity season in Pennsylvania?
In Pennsylvania, bat maternity season typically runs from June through mid-August. During this window, flightless young are present in the colony. To comply with state wildlife regulations and ensure humane treatment, we typically schedule full exclusions outside of this timeframe to avoid trapping pups inside.
