Bat Removal and Exclusion in Funny River
The Critter Squad Inc. provides bat removal, bat exclusion and guano cleanup in Funny River, AK for homes, cabins, lodges and outbuildings.
Funny River is river-corridor property: guide cabins, lodges and homes on large wooded lots off Funny River Road. Insect activity along the river is heavy through the summer, which is exactly why bats settle here and why colonies in this area tend to be larger than average.
Bigger colony, bigger cleanup. On the properties we service out here, guano volume in the attic is usually the deciding factor for whether insulation gets removed and replaced rather than spot-cleaned.
Lodge owners have a scheduling problem more than a bat problem: guests are on site during the exact months when a maternity colony cannot be excluded. We handle that with interior separation and a hard scheduled date for the fall exclusion.
What We See in Funny River
- Larger colonies driven by heavy river-corridor insect activity
- Guide cabins and lodges occupied through the summer
- Attic insulation contaminated enough to require replacement
- Interior separation while guests are still on the property
How the Work Is Done
- 1Inspection
Roofline, attic, vents, soffits and siding, plus a dusk watch to confirm which openings are live.
- 2Seal up
Every secondary gap and vulnerable detail is closed first, leaving only the active entrances open.
- 3Exclusion
One-way devices go on the active entrances so bats leave and cannot get back in.
- 4Removal
Devices come off once nothing is exiting, and the final entrances are permanently sealed.
- 5Cleanup
Guano removal, sanitizing and insulation replacement where the colony contaminated it.
Full detail on the sequence and the timing rules is in our Kenai Peninsula bat removal guide.

Funny River Bat Removal Questions
Why do we seem to get more bats than people in town?+
The river corridor produces a lot of insects all summer. More food nearby means colonies here are often larger and stay longer.
Can our lodge stay open while this is handled?+
Yes. We separate the roost from guest areas and schedule the exclusion for the late September to early October window, after the season winds down.
What drives the price on a rural property with several buildings?+
The number of structures and the number of active entries. Doing the house and outbuildings on one trip keeps the total lower than handling them one at a time.
How many bats are usually in an attic colony here?+
Anywhere from a handful to well over a hundred. The dusk count tells us the real number, and it changes how long the one-way devices stay on the building.
Will the smell go away on its own after the bats are gone?+
No. The odor lives in the guano and urine-soaked insulation, so it stays until that material is removed and the surfaces are treated.
