We are experts in bat control, and are not a typical Petersburg, Virginia bat exterminator company. We are the best in Petersburg city. We do not use poisons or traps to remove bats, as both methods are illegal, not to mention that poison is inhumane. When removing bats, we use the humane exclusion barrier method to permanently keep bats away from your property. We completely solve your bat problem by taking these steps:

• Inspect the entire property from top to bottom
• Seal shut entry areas, no matter how small
• Place one-way exclusion barriers over other entry areas
• Monitor exclusion barriers for bat activity at dawn and dusk
• Once there is no more activity and no more bats in your building, we're done
• When necessary, we clean bat guano and replace damaged insulation

Petersburg bat removal tip of the month: How do I clean bat feces out of my attic? - Bat feces is one of the worst messes homeowners have to deal with, and it can be a very difficult one to clean. For starters, any nuisance animal waste can pose health hazards to people, and when it comes to bats, the primary concern is histoplasmosis. Histoplasmosis is a respiratory disease caused by fungal spores that become airborne. While it only causes flu-like symptoms in most healthy adults, children, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems may require hospitalization. To minimize risk, the first step to cleaning is wearing proper protective gear, and this means eye protection, respiratory masks, gloves, and even a commercial hazmat suit if needed. Clean up all the solid waste by hand. Do not use any tools, like brooms, that may force fecal particles into the air. Once the solid waste has been removed, you can either fog the area with an enzymatic cleaner or apply it by hand. Many homeowners opt for fogging as it can get all the nooks and crevasse that humans can easily miss.
