Bat Removal and Exclusion in Homer
The Critter Squad Inc. provides bat removal, bat exclusion and guano cleanup in Homer, AK for homes, hillside cabins, vacation rentals and lodges.
Homer's hillside and bench properties include a lot of steep-gable cabins, timber-framed homes and short-term rentals. Roof peaks are one of the most common bat access zones we find. A gap where two roof planes meet, or a gable end that never quite closed, gives a colony a direct route into a warm attic.
Vacation rental owners in Homer have a specific problem: a guest who sees a bat often leads to a review, a refund and a health inquiry. We use the same exclusion sequence on these properties but prioritize interior separation and documentation so the building can keep operating while we wait for the correct exclusion window.
Older wood-sided homes near the Spit and around town also see wind-driven damage that opens siding and fascia joints. Those are worth sealing whether or not you currently have bats, because an open roofline is what invites a colony back every spring.
What We See in Homer
- Steep-gable and A-frame cabins with roof-peak entry points
- Vacation rentals and lodges with guest-encounter risk
- Older wood-sided homes with weathered fascia and siding joints
- Return activity each spring at a previously used opening
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.

Homer Bat Removal Questions
The bats are at the very top of the gable. Can you reach it?+
Yes. Steep-gable and A-frame roof peaks are the most common entry we deal with in Homer, and we carry the ladders and staging for them.
A guest saw a bat in our Homer rental. What happens first?+
We inspect immediately, separate the roost from guest areas, and document everything so you can respond to the guest and your booking platform.
What is bat removal going to cost on a Homer hillside home?+
Steep gables and high roof peaks take staging, so access is part of the price along with the number of entry points and the cleanup scope. You get one written quote covering exclusion, sealing and cleanup separately so you can see what each piece costs.
Will sealing hurt my roof or siding?+
No. We fasten metal flashing, screening and matched trim into sound framing. We do not smear expanding foam across a roofline, because it fails in a year here and looks worse every season.
We rent the place out. Can guests stay while the work happens?+
Usually yes. Interior separation and sealing happen with the building in use, and the one-way devices on the exterior do not affect guests. The cleanup is the only part that needs the space empty.
