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.

Vent Cover Exhibit A

Two different houses had birds accessing the bathroom vent exhausts. After cleaning out and replacing some needed bathroom exhaust pipes, we installed new vent covers to prevent further damage and entry. Birds living in bathroom exhausts can bring bugs, mites, and dirt inside your home. They can also damage the exhaust fan and piping.

Loafing Bat Prevention

Jul 18, 2024 | Animal Entry, Bats

Currently we are getting many calls concerning bats. Unfortunately, bat season is closed at this moment but please still call us so we can get you on our list for August when the season opens back up.

Here the bats are loafing on the porch meaning at night when flying around they hang out to take a break and leaving behind a lot of unsightly and stinky droppings or “calling cards.”

The solution is applying a clear epoxy to the bricks preventing the bats from clinging. This epoxy is great for eliminating clinging, climbing, or nesting of bats, birds, and other animals.

This action was performed in Latrobe, PA.

Spring Bat Season

Feb 28, 2024 | Animal Entry, Bats, Services, Uncategorized

Spring bat season will be here before we know it. If you got bat rights now, you will have them a little longer. Even though bats are still in a state of torpor, they can awaken on warmer days and move around trying to find a more comfortable location. This often leaves customers finding bats inside their home. When the weather breaks and we have nights in the 50s we will be running around sealing up homes to prevent bats from getting in.

“Up to Bat” in Black Out Period

Jun 28, 2023 | Animal Entry, Bats, Services

Bats we took care of in New Stanton, PA.

Unfortunately, we are currently in the blackout period for bats. Bats are protected from May-August due to the birthing season. Customers often find bats in their living space this time of year. Typically it is young pups, or juveniles that are young and curious. They like to follow air currents and will end up somewhere they do not belong. If you find yourself with a bat inside your home give us a call. We can catch the bat and prepare it for rabies testing if needed. We will also provide temporary solutions to keeping them out of your living space until we can exclude them from your home in a few months.
