Bat Removal & Exclusion in Tampa Bay, Florida
Bats in your attic, soffit, or roofline? We provide humane, Florida-legal bat exclusion for homeowners across Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, Hernando, and Polk counties. Every job includes an entry-point inspection, one-way exclusion devices, full sealing, and guano cleanup.
Why bats need a specialist
All bat species in Florida are protected. It is illegal to trap, harm, or exclude bats during the maternity season (April 16 – August 14). Our team follows FWC guidelines to remove bats humanely and permanently, so you avoid fines and repeat infestations.
Our bat exclusion process
1) Full inspection of your roofline, gable vents, ridge caps, and soffits to find every entry point. 2) Installation of one-way exclusion devices that let bats leave but not return. 3) After the colony is out, we permanently seal every gap with rated materials. 4) Attic decontamination and guano removal to eliminate odor, mites, and histoplasmosis risk.
Signs of a bat problem
Scratching or squeaking at dusk, brown stains around vents or eaves, guano piles below entry points, or bats seen flying from your roof at sunset. If you see any of these, call us before the colony grows.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is bat removal legal in Florida?
Yes, but only with humane one-way exclusion devices and only outside the April 16 – August 14 maternity season. We follow all FWC rules.
How much does bat removal cost?
Pricing depends on colony size, roof access, and the amount of guano cleanup required. We provide a firm, upfront quote after a free on-site inspection.
Do you clean up bat guano?
Yes. Guano poses real health risks, including histoplasmosis. We remove contaminated insulation, sanitize the space, and can install fresh insulation.
