"Mark came to my house and inspected. He gave me an estimate to trap the raccoons, seal where the raccoons were getting into my house, repair the damage and clean the attic where they had been living. I had trapped the raccoons myself and repaired some of the damage before I received the estimate. The cost of hiring Michigan Wildlife Trapping, LLC was more than I could afford so, I am doing the work myself. They were friendly and helpful. They responded to my panicked call for help. Not immediate but, within a couple of days. Between trapping, moth balls and peppermint oil, the raccoons no longer live in my house. If you have a raccoon problem, try aroma therapy to convince them to move some place else. Since the raccoon's sense of smell is so much more sensitive than ours, they dislike the strong odors like mothballs or peppermint oil solution. I have heard that fox urine works also. Fox urine can be found at stores that sell hunting equipment. Or Google it. Also Decon works."

"I used them for mosquito control Weather has a major impact on scheduling, so it was hard to set firm dates for service. Always showed up once they were scheduled. Treatments provided significant, but not total relief from mosquito problem. Price was good compared to other services. Techs were always pleasant and professional."

FAQs for bird and bat pest control service projects in South Bend, IN

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.
