    Bat Removal and Exclusion in Fritz Creek

    The Critter Squad Inc. provides bat removal, bat exclusion and guano cleanup in Fritz Creek, AK for homes, cabins, barns and homesteads.

    Fritz Creek is homestead country east of Homer: owner-built houses, barns, greenhouses, yurts and cabins spread across large parcels. Owner-built and hand-framed structures give us the widest variety of entry points of anywhere we work, and almost none of them are standard.

    Barns and hay storage are the classic bat roost, and the ones out here often have open gable ends by design. Where an owner still wants ventilation, we screen and baffle instead of closing the opening outright so the building keeps working.

    Livestock buildings need a different cleanup approach than a house attic. Guano mixed into bedding or feed storage gets removed and the area treated before animals go back in.

    What We See in Fritz Creek

    • Hand-framed and owner-built houses with nonstandard details
    • Barns and hay storage with open gable ends
    • Greenhouses, yurts and outbuildings used as roosts
    • Guano contamination in bedding and feed storage areas

    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

    Fritz Creek Bat Removal Questions

    We need the barn to stay ventilated. Can it still be bat-proofed?+

    Yes. We screen and baffle the openings so air keeps moving while bats cannot get through. Closing a barn up tight is not the goal.

    Do you service the far end of East End Road?+

    Yes. Fritz Creek and the East End Road corridor are part of our regular Homer-area coverage.

    How is the price affected by a long driveway or off-grid access?+

    Access is factored into the quote up front and you see it before agreeing. There is no travel surcharge added after the fact.

    Do you handle log homes differently?+

    Yes. Log walls settle and open at the chinking and at the log-to-roof transition, so the sealing uses materials that flex with the building instead of rigid fill that cracks out.

    What is the warranty on a log or timber structure?+

    The same written coverage on the openings we seal. We note anywhere the building is still settling so you know what to watch as the logs move.
