SC Bat Removal

Bats are among South Carolina's most interesting and unique mammals. Bats are, for the most part, harmless. They rarely, if ever attack people. In fact, most bats in South Carolina are biologically useful mammals. They feed primarily upon insects, many of which are pests to agriculture. However, bats can be pests when they take up residence within South Carolina homes and businesses. There are some species of bats that are protected by state law so we treat them all as if they are. It is recommended that before conducting any type of bat control or relocating any bats that have been captured, contact a professional bat removal specialists. People occasionally inquire with ordinary pest control professionals as to whether or not the nuisance bat colony can be "exterminated" by applying some kind of poisonous material. This is not an acceptable control alternative because there are no poisons that can be legally used for bat control. Besides, poisoning bats might only worsen the situation. The bats may die in an inaccessible area within a building, thereby creating an odor problem. Also, bats affected by the poison could disperse over an entire community before dying. This may increase the chance of contact with a child, dog, cat, etc., thereby increasing the potential for a "rabies scare" and/or a possible rabies exposure. Bats in the living space of your house or business should be removed immediately. If you suspect you have a bat in your attic, in your walls, in sheds, in a utility building or bats in your chimney you should call our bat removal specialists immediately.  Our bat control technicians have the necessary training and skills to get rid of your nuisance bats and complete the necessary repairs and exclusion techniques stated above to keep bats out of your home. ​
