Understanding a Bat Job
One Problem, Several Pieces of Work
The Critter Squad Inc. provides complete bat removal services for homes, cabins, rentals, lodges and outbuildings across the Kenai Peninsula. A bat colony in a building creates three separate jobs: getting the animals out without stranding pups, closing the structure so they cannot come back, and cleaning up the guano, odor and contaminated insulation they leave behind. Most properties need all three.
The pages below cover each piece in detail. Every one is scheduled around the same Alaska maternity calendar: seasonal guide, service area.
How We Remove Bats
We inspect the home, seal every secondary opening, install one-way excluders at the main entry points, close the final gaps and clean the contaminated areas.
Inspection
We inspect the roofline, attic, chimney, vents and exterior to locate the main entry points, other open gaps and areas that bats could use later.
Seal Up
We seal every open and vulnerable area except the bats' main entry points. This prevents them from moving to another opening during the exclusion.
Exclusion
We install one-way bat excluders over the main entry points. The bats can fly out normally, but the devices prevent them from getting back inside.
Removal
After the bats have left, we remove the excluders and seal the final entry points. The home is now closed against bats and the colony cannot return.
Cleanup
We remove guano and contaminated insulation, sanitize and deodorize the affected areas, and install new insulation where needed.
Get the Bats Out and Keep Them Out
We will find the entry points, explain the work and give you a clear scope for removal, cleanup and repairs.
Inspection, Sealing, Exclusion, Removal, Cleanup
One crew handles the whole sequence so nothing gets left half finished.
(907) 299-9790When Bats Can and Cannot Be Excluded
Bat colonies found in Alaska homes and cabins during summer may be maternity roosts. To avoid separating adult bats from nonflying pups, full exclusion is not scheduled during the late-spring and summer maternity period. Alaska Department of Fish and Game recommends excluding maternity colonies in late September or early October, after young bats can leave the roost and forage independently.
Bats can return to roost sites quickly once average temperatures rise above freezing.
Our positionExterior inspection, entry point documentation and sealing plans. We never assume a building is empty without verifying it.
Pregnant females establish or return to maternity roosts.
Our positionAny active roost in a building is treated as potentially a maternity colony.
Pups are born, nursed and developing. Many are flightless or not reliably independent.
Our positionNo full exclusion and no one-way devices where pups could be stranded inside the structure.
Peak visible activity: dusk emergence, attic noise, guano accumulation and odor.
Our positionInspection, emergence observation, entry point mapping, interior separation and scheduling the exclusion.
Young bats can leave the roost and forage with adult females.
Our positionPrimary full-exclusion window recommended by Alaska Department of Fish and Game: one-way devices, secondary sealing, monitoring, final closure.
Reduced visible activity. Overwintering behavior in Alaska is not fully resolved.
Our positionCase-specific inspection. We do not sell winter eviction as automatic or routine.
Questions About Our Services
Do I need every service listed?+
No. A straightforward job on a tight building may be an inspection, exclusion and sealing. An attic that has held a colony for several seasons usually needs guano cleanup and insulation work as well.
Is the inspection separate from the exclusion?+
Yes. The inspection and dusk observation come first and determine everything else, including whether the building actually has an active roost.
Can you seal the building before the bats are out?+
Only the secondary gaps. Sealing an active entrance with bats inside traps them in the structure, which creates odor, interior entries and more damage.
