Bat Removal and Exclusion in North Kenai
The Critter Squad Inc. provides bat removal, bat exclusion and guano cleanup in North Kenai, AK for homes, cabins and shops along the North Road.
North Kenai runs long and narrow along the Kenai Spur Highway, with beach-side homes, wooded lots and industrial neighbors. The coastal exposure here is hard on buildings, and the openings we find are usually the result of weather rather than construction: lifted shingles, split fascia, and soffit panels pushed out of their channel by wind.
Salt air and constant wind also age caulk and sealant fast. Sealing work in North Kenai gets fastened mechanically with metal flashing and hardware cloth wherever we can, because a bead of sealant alone will not last out here.
We inspect the whole run of the roofline on these houses. Wind damage is rarely limited to one spot, and an exclusion only holds if every other opening is closed before the one-way devices come off.
What We See in North Kenai
- Wind-lifted shingles, fascia and soffit panels
- Coastal exposure breaking down caulk and sealant
- Long rooflines with multiple weather-opened entries
- Beach-side cabins and seasonal homes
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.

North Kenai Bat Removal Questions
Will sealing hold up to the wind out here?+
It does when it is fastened, not just caulked. We use metal flashing, closure strips and hardware cloth screwed into sound framing on coastal buildings.
We fixed one hole and the bats came back. Why?+
Colonies use several openings. If only one gets closed, the rest stay in service. A full roofline inspection before sealing is what prevents that.
How is the job priced when the roofline is exposed and weather-beaten?+
Wind damage usually means more feet of flashing and fascia to close, so the sealing portion is larger. We measure it and quote it rather than guessing on site.
Can the work be done in the fall wind and rain?+
Yes, within reason. We work around the weather for anything requiring height and sealant cure time, and we tell you when a day needs to move instead of rushing a repair that will fail.
What is covered by the warranty?+
Every opening we seal, in writing. Storm damage to a new area after the fact is a new repair, and we will tell you plainly which one you are looking at.
