Bat Removal & Exclusion in Metro Atlanta & North Georgia
Humane bat exclusion from attics and soffits, done at the right time of year.
About Bats in Georgia
Bats are valuable insect eaters, but a colony in your attic means droppings, odor and noise. Because bats are protected wildlife and are sensitive to disturbance, they can't simply be poisoned or sealed in.
Bat exclusion is a precise process. It involves finding every entry point, installing one-way devices so the bats can leave but not re-enter, and then sealing the openings, at a time of year when no flightless young are present.

How to Identify Bats
Bats found in Georgia homes are often small species, about the size of a mouse, with membranous wings. They roost in tight spaces in attics, soffits, wall voids and under shingles, and are active at dusk.
Signs You May Have Bats
- Small, dark droppings that crumble into shiny insect fragments (guano) below roosts or on walls
- Bats flying around the house at dusk
- Squeaking or chirping sounds in the attic or walls
- Dark staining around holes or rub marks at entry points
- A strong, musty ammonia-like odor
Why Bats Are a Problem in Georgia
Georgia's warm climate and abundant insects support healthy bat populations. Bats use attics and soffits as roosts, particularly for maternity colonies in late spring and summer.

Can I just seal the holes?
No. Sealing bats in can trap them in your home, and it can also harm flightless young. Exclusion should be done by professionals, at the right time.
Are bats dangerous?
Bats can carry rabies, though it is rare. Never handle a bat with bare hands, and seek medical advice if you've been bitten or scratched, or woke up with a bat in your room.
Is it illegal to kill bats?
Bats are protected, and humane exclusion is the right approach. Regulations apply, and we'll explain what's allowed.
When is the best time for bat exclusion?
It depends on the colony and when young are flightless. We'll recommend a timeline after inspecting.
