Bats are beneficial to the Pennsylvania ecosystem, but when they take up residence in your attic, they become a serious problem for homeowners. At Main Line Bat Guy, we specialize in bat pest control that’s humane, effective, and designed to protect your home long-term. If you’re hearing scratching sounds at night or notice staining around vents or soffits, you may be dealing with a bat infestation that you should deal with promptly.
Bat Pest Control – Why You Need to Be Proactive
In the United States, bats are a protected species, which is why dealing with an infestation can prove tricky on your own. Here’s why prompt and professional bat control is so important, especially during blackout season:
- Understanding Bat Blackout Season: From roughly May to mid-August, many bat species in Pennsylvania enter a protected period called “blackout season,” when they give birth and raise their young. During this time, removing bats from your home is not only inhumane – it’s illegal. For this reason, our team carefully inspects and plans all bat pest control efforts to comply with state and federal laws.
- Preventing Structural Damage: Bats don’t chew like rodents, but their droppings (guano) can accumulate quickly, leading to insulation damage, staining, and corrosion of wood and metal components in your attic.
- Protecting Indoor Air Quality: Bat guano and urine can release airborne spores that cause histoplasmosis, a serious respiratory illness. Proper removal and attic cleanup are essential to protect your family’s health.
- Avoiding Future Infestations: DIY bat control rarely works. Bats are skilled at finding their way back into the same space if exclusions are not done properly. Our team provides professional-grade sealing, screening, and permanent exclusion to make sure that once bats are out, they stay out.
- Preserving Legal Compliance and Wildlife Safety: Main Line Bat Guy is trained in ethical and legal wildlife removal practices. We ensure bats are not harmed and that all actions follow Pennsylvania’s conservation guidelines.
