EXPERT BAT REMOVAL IN FRASER

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

• Common signs of a bat infestation include hearing squeaking or scratching noises in the walls or attic at night, finding small black droppings (guano) near entry points, or actually seeing bats flying around your home at dusk. In Fraser, older homes and homes near wooded areas are particularly susceptible to bat intrusions due to accessible rooflines and warm attic spaces that bats find ideal for roosting.

2. Is it illegal to remove bats in Michigan?

• Yes, it can be illegal to remove bats during specific times of the year in Michigan, especially during maternity season (usually May to mid-August). Bats are protected wildlife, and removing them improperly can violate state and federal laws. At Michigan’s Bat Expert, we comply with all Fraser-area regulations and use legal, humane exclusion methods approved by the Michigan DNR and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

3. Why are bats entering my home in Fraser?

• Bats enter homes in Fraser seeking warm, quiet roosting spots—usually attics, soffits, or chimneys. Factors like aging roofing, gaps in siding, and nearby water sources make your property appealing. Fraser’s proximity to natural bat habitats means even well-maintained homes can become targets for bats unless properly sealed.

4. What health risks are associated with bats in the attic?

• Bat infestations pose serious health risks. Bat guano can harbor fungal spores that cause histoplasmosis, a respiratory disease. Bats may also carry rabies, though rare, and parasites such as mites or bat bugs. Fraser homeowners should never attempt to clean guano or remove bats themselves—professional services ensure safe, sanitary results.

5. How long does the bat exclusion process take?

• In most cases, the exclusion process takes between 3–7 days. This includes inspection, installation of one-way exit devices, sealing of all entry points, and a follow-up visit to confirm the bats have left. For Fraser homes with larger colonies or significant attic contamination, cleanup or attic restoration may extend the project timeline.

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

• Bat exclusion is a humane removal method where one-way devices are installed over bat entry points, allowing bats to exit but not re-enter. After a few days, once the colony has vacated, all entry points are sealed with durable materials. This method is preferred in Fraser and mandated under Michigan law during bat-safe seasons.

7. Can I use mothballs or loud noises to scare bats away?

• No. DIY methods like mothballs, loud music, or ultrasonic devices are not only ineffective but can be dangerous or illegal. These methods often disturb the bats without removing them, pushing them into other parts of the home. In Fraser, licensed professionals should always handle bat removal to ensure legal and effective results.

8. Do I need to clean up bat droppings after removal?

• Yes, cleanup is essential after exclusion. Bat guano can cause structural damage and health hazards if left untreated. At Michigan’s Bat Expert, we offer guano removal, deodorization, and attic restoration services tailored to Fraser homes, restoring the space to a safe and livable condition.

9. Will bats come back after removal?

• Not if the exclusion and sealing were done properly. We provide a 5-year warranty on all bat removal services in Fraser, ensuring that any re-infestations are handled at no additional cost. Our exclusion process includes sealing all gaps and performing follow-ups to ensure long-term protection.
