MICHIGAN'S BAT EXPERT
BAT REMOVAL IN ATTICA, MI

1. How do I know if there are bats in my attic in Attica, MI?

• If you hear scratching, squeaking, or fluttering noises—especially at dusk or dawn—you may have bats in your attic. Other signs include droppings (guano) piling up below vents or eaves, stains around entry points, and seeing bats fly in or out at sunset. In rural towns like Attica, where homes are surrounded by wooded areas, these signs are especially common in spring and summer.

2. Is it legal to remove bats from your home in Michigan?

• Yes, but only if it’s done correctly and within the legal guidelines. In Michigan, bats are protected species, especially during the maternity season (May 1 – August 15). This means you can’t disturb or evict a colony with baby bats until the young are capable of flight. At Michigan’s Bat Expert, we follow all state and federal regulations to ensure our bat exclusion process is 100% compliant and humane.

3. What is the best time of year to remove bats in Attica?

• The ideal time for bat removal is late summer through early spring, specifically after August 15 when baby bats can fly on their own. This timing avoids the protected maternity season and ensures complete, legal exclusion. In colder areas like Attica, this window is also crucial before bats enter full hibernation in your home’s insulation or rafters.

4. How long does the bat removal process take?

• Most residential bat exclusions can be completed in 1 to 3 days, depending on the size of the colony and the complexity of the home’s structure. Our process includes a full inspection, humane exclusion, sealing of entry points, and optional cleanup. We always work efficiently while ensuring no bats are left behind.

5. Will the bats come back after removal?

• Not with our professional exclusion service. At Michigan’s Bat Expert, we not only install one-way bat valves to let the colony exit safely, but we also seal every possible entry point using animal-proof materials. We even offer a five-year warranty to give homeowners in Attica total peace of mind.

6. What should I do if I find bat guano in my attic?

• Bat droppings (guano) should never be ignored. They can harbor dangerous fungi that cause histoplasmosis, a serious respiratory illness. If you see guano in your attic or on windowsills, contact a professional immediately. We offer full attic cleanups and sanitization services to remove guano and restore a safe indoor environment.

7. Can I remove bats myself from my Attica home?

• DIY bat removal is rarely effective and often illegal. Without the proper training, you risk harming protected wildlife or sealing bats inside your home. Our licensed professionals use specialized tools and follow strict protocols to remove bats legally, humanely, and permanently.

8. How do bats get into homes in Attica, MI?

• Bats can squeeze through openings as small as ⅜ of an inch. In Attica, older homes or barns with loose shingles, vents, gaps in fascia, or open chimneys are especially vulnerable. During our inspection, we identify and document all possible entry points, ensuring no gap is overlooked during the sealing process.

9. Are bats dangerous to humans or pets?

• While bats themselves are not aggressive, they can carry rabies and their guano can spread disease. Attempting to handle a bat—especially one that appears sick or grounded—puts you and your pets at risk. It’s always safer to call a professional who understands the risks and has the proper safety equipment.

10. How much does bat removal cost in Attica, MI?

• In general, professional bat exclusion in Attica can range from $300 to $2,500 or more. The cost of bat removal varies depending on the size of your home, the number of entry points, and whether cleanup is required. We offer competitive pricing, free estimates, and long-term value with our five-year warranty and guaranteed satisfaction.
