About bat removal in Boaz
Bats roosting in your attic are protected by federal and state law — they cannot simply be killed or trapped. We use one-way exclusion devices that let bats leave at dusk but prevent re-entry, then seal every entry point down to 3/8 of an inch.
What we see most in Boaz
Long-established bat colonies in older Boaz attics, year-round squirrel calls, seasonal skunk spikes, and a steady mix of opossum and raccoon work at the rural edges.

What you should know about bat removal
Biology & Behavior
Most North Alabama colonies are big brown bats or evening bats. Colonies enter through gaps as small as 3/8 inch around ridge caps, gable vents, soffit returns, and chimney flashing.
When this happens in Boaz
Maternity season runs roughly May through July; full exclusion is typically performed outside that window. We can stabilize and prep during maternity season, then complete exclusion after.
Alabama & Federal Regulations
Bats are protected by federal and Alabama state law. Removal must use exclusion (one-way valves), never trapping or killing, and cannot occur during the summer maternity season when flightless pups are present.
Disease & Safety Risks
Histoplasmosis (a respiratory fungus from old guano) and rare rabies exposure. Direct skin contact with bats or guano should always involve professional PPE.
Materials We Actually Use
Stainless one-way exclusion valves, copper mesh, hardware cloth, metal flashing, polyurethane sealants. We avoid foam-only seals — bats and rodents chew through them.
