"We had bats that very rousting in our gas fireplace flue and attic. Western Bat quickly remedied the situation by bat proving our home and removed the bats from our fireplace."

"I've worked with several pest control companies over the past decade and Phanna at Exo has been the best by a long shot. His expert knowledge to access the situation and explain solutions, his professionalism, and good-natured people skills make him a gem in this industry. Look forward to working with him in the future and I'd highly recommend his services."

"We had called on several other vendors prior to calling Pest Pros and none of them resolved the problem. Pest Pros found entry points the other vendors all missed. We would highly recommend this company."

"Attic Crew did an excellent job for the price. I wouldn't characterize them as having gone above and beyond, but I was satisfied with the work they did and would hire them again."

"As thermostats hit 90 degrees, I wanted to get my HVAC system inspected plus routine maintenance. Apparently I wasn't the only one, as most services turned down my request for an estimate. Attic Bright was super fast to respond and scheduling time to come out. Jonathon came out to perform my service/inspection and did a great job replacing our whole HVAC unit. He was very courteous and professional and fixed the problem with no hassle at all. I'm amazed by how quickly it can get my house to temperature within minutes with very little noise- thanks Attic Bright!"

"The experience with Justin at Fire & Water Damage Recovery was excellent. They were referred by the plumbing company that serviced my sump pump. We still got 3 estimate, Justin's estimate was in the middle but I felt good with Justin based on our phone conversation and the referral so we went with this company. Justin did tell me that he might have estimated on the high side because he does not like to surprise the homeowners. What a surprise when I go the final invoice. The final invoice came in much lower and was very close or lower than the lowest estimate I got. Justin and his team also took pictures of how the place was before and after for me to see. They even took pictures of the pathway that they took to get to the crawl space to assure me that they kept the place clean when they got in and out. I was very satisified with Justin and his company."

FAQs for bird and bat pest control service projects in Oakland, CA

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.
