Humane Bat Removal & Control
Bats are fascinating and beneficial animals that play an important role in our ecosystem. They help pollinate plants, disperse seeds, and consume thousands of insects, including mosquitoes and crop pests, every night. However, when bats move into your attic, walls, or eaves, they can cause serious property damage and health risks.
At Soundview Wildlife Control, we provide safe, humane bat removal and exclusion services across Connecticut to protect both your home and these valuable creatures.
Signs You Have a Bat Problem
- Droppings (guano) in your attic or near entry points
- Scratching or squeaking noises at night
- Strong ammonia-like odors from urine and droppings
- Sightings of bats entering or exiting your roofline at dusk
The Risks of a Bat Infestation
Health Hazards
Bat droppings can harbor fungal spores that cause histoplasmosis, a lung disease that poses a serious risk to humans when guano dries and particles become airborne. Bats can also carry rabies and other zoonotic viruses, making it important never to handle them directly.
Property Damage
Accumulated guano and urine can stain ceilings, corrode wood, and weaken insulation. These droppings create strong odors and may attract insects or secondary pests. Bats can also chew through insulation, wires, and other materials, creating fire hazards and energy inefficiencies.
Disease Concerns
Bats are known reservoirs for viruses such as rabies, Nipah, Hendra, and certain coronaviruses. While most bats are harmless and rarely interact with humans, close contact should always be avoided. Proper exclusion and cleanup are essential to eliminate contamination and health risks.
