Professional Bat Exclusion
Do you have bats in your attic and shutters? If so the bats have entered through a small opening in a gable or ridge vent. Is a bat flying inside your living space, if so it could have entered from a chimney? They find small openings to make their homes to protect their colonies from predators.
At A.B.S. Wildlife & Control we are the professionals you need. We get the bats out with our humane and effective techniques. One way points of entry are installed that allows for the bats to exit and not return.
After their removal, we offer odor removal and control services. We deodorize and sanitize the areas that have been contaminated with bat guano (bat droppings) and infestations. Histoplasmosis is a lung infection you can get from exposure to bat guano.
