BAT REMOVAL WHAT YOU MUST KNOW

Bat Removal:
What Homeowners Must Know.
Before taking action, it is important to understand how bats behave, why removal is regulated, and what protects your home long-term.
Are Bats Dangerous?
Why Bat Removal Is Regulated.
Why DIY Bat Removal Fails
While bats are not aggressive by nature, they can pose serious risks when living inside homes. Bats are the primary carrier of rabies in the U.S., and exposure can occur without a visible bite. Accumulated guano and urine can harbor airborne pathogens, create strong odors, and damage insulation. Improper handling or DIY removal increases health risks and is illegal in many cases. Professional exclusion protects your family, your home, and your health. Left untreated, bat infestations worsen over time and increase liability for homeowners.
An inspection identifies entry points, colony size, and the correct legal timing for removal with long term exclusion in mind.
Bat removal is heavily regulated because bats are protected wildlife and play a vital role in ecosystems. Removing bats at the wrong time can trap flightless pups inside walls, causing death, odor issues, and legal violations. Many states impose fines for improper exclusion methods. Licensed professionals follow seasonal guidelines, humane exclusion laws, and safety protocols. Attempting removal without permits or knowledge can result in penalties, property damage, and worsening infestations that become far more costly to correct.
DIY bat removal often fails because bats exploit gaps as small as half an inch and return relentlessly. Store bought repellents, traps, and sealants do nothing to address full entry routes. Improper sealing traps bats inside, leading to dead bats, strong odors, and bats entering living spaces. Without professional inspections, timing, and exclusion devices, homeowners usually make the problem worse and far more expensive to fix after multiple failed attempts force emergency repairs and professional intervention quickly.

Jim came to our house as scheduled. Prompt, courteous, clean cut, very business oriented. Respectful when discussing our concerns. He explained the steps he would be taking to resolve our issues. Went about his business. Came to door upon completion. Yard and drive were clean upon completion of the job. We are extremely pleased we hired this company to address our concerns. We will definitely look to them again in the future for any work they can do for us. I would give them a 10. You can't find a better company to help you and at a great price. Thank you.
I had a fantastic experience with Shields! They were fast to answer my initial call and maintained excellent communication throughout the time I worked with them. Jim was very knowledgeable — he diagnosed and resolved my squirrel problem quickly and efficiently, and for a reasonable price. The whole team was both professional and friendly. Couldn’t ask for anything more and highly recommend working with Shields for any wildlife removal needs!
We called Shields Wildlife Removal for a quote for bee removal and replacement of siding on a 3 story apartment building. We okayed the contract on a Thursday and the job was complete within one week. Jim Martin and Colton Pasquale worked from early morning till the sun went down every day. They were very courteous with us and our tenants. We have already had people saying what a difference it made to the building before they were even finished. Jim and Colton did great work. Thank you very much.
