Kenai Peninsula Bat Exclusion Specialists
The Critter Squad Inc. provides bat removal, bat exclusion and guano cleanup for homes, cabins, rentals and lodges across the Kenai Peninsula.
Alaska Buildings, Alaska Timing
The Critter Squad Inc. works out of Anchor Point and handles bat exclusion across the Kenai Peninsula. One species, a short active season, and a building stock full of seasonal cabins, steep gables and weathered wood siding means the work here does not look like bat work anywhere else.
- Based in Anchor Point, covering the Kenai Peninsula from Homer to Nikiski
- Focused on little brown bats, the only bat species known on the Peninsula
- Thorough roofline, attic and exterior inspections with photo-documented entry point maps
- Dusk observation to confirm active entrances before any device is installed
- Humane exclusion only: no poison, no repellents, no ultrasonic devices
- Guano cleanup, insulation replacement and odor treatment after exclusion
Who You Are Hiring
Built Around Alaska Buildings and Alaska Timing
The Critter Squad Inc. provides bat removal and exclusion services out of Anchor Point, covering the Kenai Peninsula from Homer up through Ninilchik, Kasilof, Soldotna, Kenai, Sterling and Nikiski. Bat work here is not the same as it is in the Lower 48: one species, a very short active season, and a building stock full of seasonal cabins, steep gables and aging wood siding.
That shapes how we quote work. A summer call usually results in an inspection, an emergence observation, a photo-documented entry point map and a scheduled exclusion date. The wait is the difference between a colony that leaves and a colony that dies inside your insulation.
How We Work
Every job runs the same sequence, whether it is a year-round house in Kenai or an A-frame outside Homer that the owner sees twice a year.
- Thorough inspection of the roofline, attic, chimney, vents and exterior
- Dusk observation to confirm which openings are actually active
- Photo documentation and a written scope before any work is scheduled
- One-way exclusion devices installed only outside the maternity period
- Secondary gaps sealed first, active entrances closed last
- Devices monitored for at least seven days before permanent closure
- Guano and contaminated insulation removed and the space treated
Straight Answers on Methods
We do not use poison, and we do not sell ultrasonic devices or repellents. Alaska Fish and Game says those deterrents do not work and that pesticide use on bats is illegal. Exclusion and sealing are what we do, and the seasonal calendar we publish is the same one we schedule from: the seasonal guide, our services.
How We Remove Bats
We inspect the home, seal every secondary opening, install one-way excluders at the main entry points, close the final gaps and clean the contaminated areas.
Inspection
We inspect the roofline, attic, chimney, vents and exterior to locate the main entry points, other open gaps and areas that bats could use later.
Seal Up
We seal every open and vulnerable area except the bats' main entry points. This prevents them from moving to another opening during the exclusion.
Exclusion
We install one-way bat excluders over the main entry points. The bats can fly out normally, but the devices prevent them from getting back inside.
Removal
After the bats have left, we remove the excluders and seal the final entry points. The home is now closed against bats and the colony cannot return.
Cleanup
We remove guano and contaminated insulation, sanitize and deodorize the affected areas, and install new insulation where needed.
Get the Bats Out and Keep Them Out
We will find the entry points, explain the work and give you a clear scope for removal, cleanup and repairs.
Bats Leave On Their Own. They Just Cannot Get Back In.
One-way devices let the colony fly out to feed and block the return. Nothing is trapped inside.
