MICHIGAN'S BAT EXPERT
BAT REMOVAL IN HADLEY TOWNSHIP, MI

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

• You may hear scratching or squeaking noises at dusk or dawn—these are signs of bats waking or returning from feeding. Other indicators include guano (bat droppings) on windowsills, strong ammonia-like odors from urine, and smudge marks around roof gaps or vents. In Hadley Township, many homes with attic ventilation gaps unknowingly invite bats inside. A professional inspection can confirm the presence of bats and identify all entry points.

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

• Yes, but there are strict rules. Michigan law protects bats, especially during maternity season (typically May to mid-August), when young bats are unable to fly. Removal during this time is prohibited to avoid trapping flightless pups. At Michigan’s Bat Expert, we follow all state and federal wildlife regulations and use humane exclusion methods to ensure compliance and prevent harm to bats.

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

• The ideal time for bat removal in Hadley Township is during the spring and fall—specifically before maternity season begins or after the young are able to fly. Our team plans all bat exclusions with this seasonal timing in mind to ensure safe, legal, and effective removal. Emergency situations can still be managed carefully with targeted strategies, even during restricted periods.

4. How do bats get into homes in Hadley Township?

• Bats enter through tiny openings—cracks in soffits, gaps in rooflines, broken vent screens, and even chimney flues. Older homes or barns in Hadley Township are particularly vulnerable due to aging wood, loose siding, and ventilation gaps. During an inspection, we thoroughly check the exterior and attic using ladders, lights, and thermal tools to locate every potential access point.

5. What is bat exclusion and how does it work?

• Bat exclusion is a process where one-way devices (bat valves) are installed at entry points, allowing bats to exit but not re-enter. After all bats have safely left, we seal every gap and potential access with durable materials. This method is 100% humane and the only legal way to remove bats in Michigan. It’s also backed by our lifetime guarantee when performed by our team.

6. Can I remove bats myself?

• DIY bat removal is not recommended. Without the right training and tools, homeowners risk violating wildlife laws, harming protected species, or making the infestation worse. Improper sealing may trap bats inside, causing them to die in the attic—or find new escape routes deeper into the home. Hiring a licensed bat removal expert ensures the process is safe, legal, and permanent.

7. How much does bat removal cost in Hadley Township?

• Bat removal costs vary depending on the size of the home, extent of the infestation, and number of entry points. In Hadley Township, typical prices range from $300 to $2,000, depending on whether guano cleanup or attic restoration is required. We offer detailed inspections and transparent pricing, with long-term value backed by a guarantee—not temporary fixes.

8. Are bats dangerous to have in your attic?

• Yes, bats pose both health and structural risks. Their droppings can lead to histoplasmosis, a dangerous lung infection. Bat urine and guano also degrade insulation, wood, and drywall, creating expensive repairs over time. Additionally, bats can introduce parasites like bat bugs, which resemble bed bugs. Addressing an infestation early prevents long-term damage and health hazards.

9. Do bats come back after removal?

• Not if the job is done right. When we perform a full exclusion and seal all entry points, bats cannot return. Our professional bat-proofing is customized to your home’s structure, using materials that withstand Michigan weather.
