"Great, after calling another supposedly high rated pest service to be told they would come out in 2 days for an estimate but not do the work for another few days, I called Family Pest Solutions. Within an hour Jack called back, I explained that a bunch of bees broke through the wall board and were swarming in the bedroom trying to get out the closed windows. He advised me exactly what to do (open windows to let bees out) and place a piece of tape over the small hole under the window sill where the bees broke through. I said I still would like a professional to come out so he promised a visit from Gary the following day, provided a very accurate and reasonable quote that was emailed to me immediately for electronic signature, and said the work could be done at that time. Solved the immediate problem with his guidance and put in place professional treatment the following day. Couple of hundred for the hive removal and another hundred to treat the entire two story house with spray around the foundation and all windows. They even treated the large shed in the back yard and took out a second ground hive in the garden. Immediate service A+, guidance to customer to handle an emergency situation A+ and price A+. Thanks Jack and Gary for a serious problem expeditiously solved. Will certainly use again, as needed! Thanks!"

Bats slip through gaps as small as 1/4 inch, so your best defense is a thorough seal-up and a few simple habit tweaks. Start by caulking or screening every crack around chimneys, eaves, and vents. Swap dim porch bulbs for brighter LEDs or motion lights (bats dislike the glare), and consider an ultrasonic deterrent if they keep circling.
Finally, remove easy snacks—cover standing water and skip the nighttime bird-feeder refills. These steps go a long way toward keeping your home bat-free.
Standard homeowners’ insurance rarely pays for bat removal because insurers view it as routine maintenance. You might get partial help for guano cleanup or related repairs, but that varies by policy. Review your insurance policy carefully and contact your provider for a definitive explanation. Securing all entry points remains the homeowner’s responsibility to prevent future incursions.
The sweet spot for bat exclusion is late summer through spring. That window keeps you inside most state rules and protects baby bats that haven’t learned to fly yet. Removal activities are conducted when bats are less active, with some states permitting work from August through May and others ceasing removal in March. Consult a qualified bat removal specialist to confirm the valid timeframe for your area.
Spotting a dead bat can be unsettling, but a calm, careful approach keeps everyone safe. First, call your state wildlife office to report the find and ask about local rules. Snap a quick photo from a distance, then—wearing disposable gloves—place the bat in a sealed plastic bag for disposal as directed.
Wipe down nearby surfaces with disinfectant, wash your hands thoroughly, and schedule a pest-control pro to make sure no live bats (or harmful guano) remain hidden in the house.
