Bat Removal and Exclusion in Salamatof
The Critter Squad Inc. provides bat removal, bat exclusion and guano cleanup in Salamatof, AK for homes, cabins, shops and fish-site buildings.
Salamatof is a small community north of Kenai with a mix of homes, set-net site buildings and storage structures near the beach. Buildings that only get used during the fishing season are prime roost sites, since a colony has months of quiet to establish itself.
Bunkhouses and gear sheds are the usual problem. They are unheated, minimally finished, and full of gaps at the ridge and eaves. We inspect and seal them the same way we would a house, prioritizing the sleeping areas so crews are not sharing space with a colony.
If a building is only occupied for a few weeks, the exclusion still needs to happen in the correct window. We plan the fall work around your season rather than the other way around.
What We See in Salamatof
- Set-net site bunkhouses and gear sheds
- Unheated, minimally finished buildings with open ridges
- Beach-adjacent structures with wind-opened eaves
- Crew sleeping areas needing separation from the roost
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.

Salamatof Bat Removal Questions
Do you work on set-net site buildings and bunkhouses?+
Yes. Seasonal work-site buildings are common here, and we treat them like any other structure: inspection, dusk observation, exclusion in the fall window, then sealing.
Is guano in a bunkhouse a health concern?+
Accumulated guano and urine in a sleeping area should be removed and the surfaces treated, not swept dry. We handle the cleanup with the right protection and disposal.
What does the quote include?+
The inspection findings, every entry point we located, the exclusion, all sealing work with materials specified, and cleanup priced separately. No line appears on the invoice that was not on the quote.
Do I need to be home for the inspection?+
For the exterior and dusk watch, no. We need interior access once for the attic, and we can arrange that separately if your schedule is tight.
Is there anything I should not do before you get there?+
Do not seal anything and do not disturb the guano. Both make the job harder and one of them can trap the colony inside your walls.
