Bat Removal & Exclusion in Illinois: frequently asked questions

Is it legal to remove bats in Illinois?
Bats are protected in most places and exclusion is timed around maternity season. We work within those rules, which sometimes means waiting until the young can fly before the colony is sealed out.
Do you kill the bats?
No. Exclusion uses one-way valves that let bats leave and prevent re-entry. The colony relocates to a natural roost and the building is sealed behind them.
Why can you not just seal it now?
If flightless pups are inside, sealing traps them. They die in the wall cavity, which gives you an odour problem, an insect problem and a distressed colony trying to chew back in.
Is bat guano dangerous?
Accumulated guano can support a fungus that causes respiratory illness when spores are disturbed. That is why cleanup uses containment and protective equipment rather than a shop vacuum.
What if there is a single bat inside my house?
Confine it to one room, close interior doors, and call (276) 319-2391. Do not release it yourself if anyone may have been bitten or had contact while asleep, because the bat may need testing.
How much does bat exclusion cost in Illinois?
It scales with the linear footage of roof line to be sealed and the amount of guano cleanup. Quoted flat after inspection.
Do you handle commercial properties in Illinois?
Yes. Restaurants, warehouses, retail, offices, schools and multi-unit housing, usually scheduled overnight or after hours so you do not lose trading time. Documentation is provided for inspections.
Do you clean up after the animals?
Yes. Droppings, nesting material, contaminated insulation and odour are all part of the scope. An attic that has been cleared but not cleaned is still a health problem.
