    Bat Removal and Exclusion in Clam Gulch

    The Critter Squad Inc. provides bat removal, bat exclusion and guano cleanup in Clam Gulch, AK for cabins, homes and seasonal buildings.

    Clam Gulch is mostly small cabins, seasonal camps and a handful of year-round homes on wooded and bluff lots. Buildings that sit closed for most of the year are the ones we find colonies in, because nobody is around to hear the chirping in July.

    The tell here is usually exterior: dark staining below a soffit joint, guano on a deck rail or window sill, and a smear of grease around a small hole in the fascia. Those signs are visible on a walkaround even when the building is locked up.

    Because there is no reason to make two trips out here, we combine the inspection and the dusk observation into one evening whenever the weather cooperates.

    What We See in Clam Gulch

    • Seasonal cabins and camps unoccupied most of the year
    • Staining and guano on decks, sills and siding below entries
    • Fascia and soffit gaps on small-footprint buildings
    • Owners who need remote documentation to approve work

    How the Work Is Done

    1. 1Inspection

      Roofline, attic, vents, soffits and siding, plus a dusk watch to confirm which openings are live.

    2. 2Seal up

      Every secondary gap and vulnerable detail is closed first, leaving only the active entrances open.

    3. 3Exclusion

      One-way devices go on the active entrances so bats leave and cannot get back in.

    4. 4Removal

      Devices come off once nothing is exiting, and the final entrances are permanently sealed.

    5. 5Cleanup

      Guano removal, sanitizing and insulation replacement where the colony contaminated it.

    FAQ

    Clam Gulch Bat Removal Questions

    Nobody has been at the cabin in months. Can you still tell if bats are inside?+

    Usually yes. Staining, guano and a greased entry hole show up from the outside, and a dusk watch confirms whether the roost is active.

    Do you charge extra for the drive to Clam Gulch?+

    No. Clam Gulch is on our regular route between Kasilof and Ninilchik.

    How do you quote a job when the owner is out of state?+

    We inspect, photograph every entry point and send a written scope with the pricing broken out. You approve by phone or email and we schedule without you needing to be here.

    What happens to the guano in a small cabin?+

    It gets bagged and removed, the surfaces get treated, and contaminated insulation comes out. In a small cabin that is usually a one-day job once the bats are out.

    Should we do anything before you arrive?+

    Leave the droppings where they are so we can read where the entries are, and note what time of evening you have seen bats flying. Both save time on the inspection.
