Our Bat Removal Process
Dealing with a bat infestation isn’t about extermination; it’s about safe, humane exclusion and long-term prevention. Here’s how we handle it:
Thorough Inspection of Your Property
We start with a complete inspection to locate entry points, nesting areas, and signs of bat guano buildup.
Safe Exclusion Techniques
We install one-way doors that allow bats to leave safely but prevent them from getting back inside.
Bat Guano Removal and Sanitization
Our team provides professional bat guano removal and sanitation services to reduce health risks and restore your attic or crawlspace.
Sealing Entry Points to Prevent Return
Once we’re done getting rid of bats, we seal gaps, cracks, and openings to keep them from coming back.
Common Types of Bats Found on Vancouver Island
Several bat species are found on Vancouver Island, but some are more likely than others to roost inside structures.
Little Brown Bat
The most common species when you’re dealing with bats in attics or other areas of your property. Small in size but highly social, they form colonies that can grow quickly.
Big Brown Bat
Larger than the Little Brown Bat, this species may overwinter in homes or commercial buildings. Professional brown bat removal is important to ensure these animals are handled responsibly.
Yuma Myotis and Other Local Species
Yuma Myotis are often seen near water, feeding on mosquitoes and other flying insects. While they usually roost in caves or trees, they sometimes settle in buildings close to lakes, rivers, or marshy areas.
Other species found on Vancouver Island include the California Myotis and Long-Eared Myotis, which may, more rarely, enter homes or outbuildings when natural roosting spots are limited.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bat Removal
How much does bat removal cost?
Bat removal cost varies based on the size of the colony, entry points, and whether cleanup is needed. We offer free inspections and clear quotes upfront to help you decide the right solution.
How long does the bat removal process take?
Most exclusions are completed in a day, though cleanup and sealing may take longer depending on the size of the colony.
What happens if the bats return?
Our sealing and exclusion work is designed to prevent re-entry. If you notice signs after treatment, call us right away.
Do you offer emergency bat removal services?
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency response when bats find their way indoors unexpectedly.
Can bats cause damage to my home or attic?
Yes. Their guano can damage insulation and create a strong odour, and large colonies may impact air quality.
What health risks are associated with having bats in your home?
Guano can contain harmful bacteria and fungi, and bats may carry parasites like mites or ticks. Professional cleanup is essential.
