What to look for

Signs you're dealing with bat removal & exclusion — not something else.

  • Dusk activity around eaves and soffits

    Bats emerge in the 30 minutes after sunset. A column of bats leaving from one corner of the house is a confirmed roost entry point.

  • Black droppings on siding or beneath a soffit

    Bat guano is dark, dry, and crumbles between the fingers — unlike mouse droppings, which are firmer and rod-shaped. Piles below a soffit corner are an active sign.

  • Squeaking or scratching inside the attic at dusk

    Bats become audible inside the building envelope right before exit time and right after dawn return — usually a high-pitched chirp, not a scurry.

  • Stains around an attic vent or roofline gap

    Repeated bat traffic leaves a brownish stain around the entry point as oils from the fur build up on siding or trim.

  • An unmistakable musty smell in the attic

    Established bat colonies produce a strong ammonia-and-musk odour from guano accumulation. The smell is distinct from mice and stronger.

The method

Bat Removal & Exclusion
is a process, not a spray.

One-way exclusion devices installed at confirmed roost entry points for 2–3 days, followed by permanent sealing with stainless steel mesh, exterior-grade caulk, or sheet-metal repair. Guano cleanup is quoted separately when needed.

  1. Dusk inspection

    We sit on the property at sunset and count bats leaving each potential entry point. This is the only reliable way to confirm an active roost and identify every exit.

  2. Permit check + species confirmation

    Saskatchewan bat eviction may require a SK Ministry of Environment Bat Eviction Permit. Reserve lands are federal lands and may need additional approval. We confirm the regulatory pathway before scheduling.

  3. One-way exclusion install

    One-way devices fitted at every confirmed entry point. Bats leave to feed at night and cannot re-enter. Devices remain in place for 2–3 days to ensure the colony has fully exited.

  4. Permanent sealing + follow-up

    All entry points permanently sealed with stainless mesh, caulk, and sheet metal as appropriate. A day-14 follow-up confirms no new staining or activity. 60-day warranty on the seal.

Pricing

One flat fee. No upsells, no surprise site charges.

Pricing depends on the number of entry points, building height, and whether guano cleanup is required. A typical single-storey residential exclusion falls in the mid range; commercial properties, two-storey homes, and barns scale up. Quotes are flat-rate after inspection.

Bat colony in soffit · Lumsden two-storey · 12 bats counted at dusk

Before

Homeowner counting 8–12 bats emerging from the south-east soffit corner each evening. Guano staining on the siding below the entry. Musty smell in the attic above the master bedroom.

During

Two confirmed entry points mapped at dusk. One-way exclusion devices installed in early September after the juveniles were flying. Devices left in place 3 days; zero return activity observed.

After

Both entry points permanently sealed with stainless steel mesh and exterior caulk. Smell cleared after a separate guano-cleanup contractor finished. Bats relocated naturally to nearby wild roosts.

Counted twelve bats coming out of the corner of the house every night. They explained the September timing, set up the one-way doors, and three days later the attic was quiet.
