Bat Removal Services

WNCPC specializes in the removal and management of bats from buildings. We keep them out for good. Bat management is a very complex process to effectively resolve. A very detailed inspection of the structure in order to determine species and why the bats are inside the structure is the first step.

Effective bat management means understanding the biology and life cycle of bats, construction principles of the property, familiarity with the use of ladders and safety equipment. Many tools are necessary to properly seal the structure.

All of this is required while at the same time not trapping bats inside the structure! Bats must be allowed to leave the structure through one-way devices and not return. Those one-way devices should then be removed after all bats have left.

Every single crack and crevice big enough for a bat to fit in needs to be sealed! We seal all gaps that are the thickness of a pencil by an inch and a half or larger!

High Quality Bat Control In Colorado

We utilize BCI (Bat Conservation International) certified methods. The owner, Gerrod Walker, is certified by NWCOA (National Wildlife Control Operators Association / Bat Standards Certified). By following NWCOA and BCI’s best management practices, there are reduced chances that bats will be trapped inside the structure and die.

Young bats (aka pups) won’t be left abandoned and that the job is completed in the most effective and efficient way. The Colorado Parks & Wildlife and the Colorado Department of Agriculture agrees with these methods as well. With the backing of the CPW, CDA, NWCOA Bat Standards and the BCI, you can be sure that our guidelines will result in the most effective control possible.
