"It was fine. They came and did what they did and were fine. It was really nice. They came in, got rid of the bats and checked my house. He couldn't figure out, but we sort of figured out where they came from and it's all been taken care of. So they were fine. He double checked. Nobody likes bats in the house! These were not just bats in the attic. The bats came downstairs into the living space, so he just double checked everything and he seemed to know what he was doing. He was quick."

"The owner, George Davidson, supervised the work and personally interacted with me and my daughter whose house needed the roof. He also made recommendations that improved the look and quality of the roof. The workers were very prompt and cleaned up everything. Having dealt with many companies in my lifetime with varying satisfaction I have to say this was among the best if not the best I have experienced."

FAQs for bird and bat pest control service projects in Richmond, VA

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.
