Bat Guano

Nov 19, 2025 | Animal Entry, Bats

In the quiet corners of your home’s architecture, gable vents can become unexpected havens for a colony of bats, where they find shelter and safety, and in return, they leave behind tiny reminders of their presence—guano that slowly descends onto your lower roof. This natural process, while seemingly harmless, can lead to potential issues if not addressed. Bat guano, rich in nitrogen, can corrode roofing materials over time and create unsightly stains, making it vital to understand the balance between appreciating these nocturnal creatures and maintaining the integrity of your home.

Ant Colony Removal

In order to properly remove the colony of ants and not cause them to split into multiple colonies we try to locate them before treatment. Sometimes ants travel from tree or bush branches to access the home. In this particular case, they are traveling 30 feet across a clothesline to access the home.
