Bat Removal from Attics in Phoenix, AZ
Bats enjoy staying in attics because it provides them with a warm temperature during the winter months and this can be a problem for homeowners. An infestation of bats in your attic can be hazardous to the health of your household and can damage your property.
By staying in attics, bats probably have left droppings called guano. These droppings can be corrosive and contain bacteria that could cause human illnesses including Histoplasmosis or any number of respiratory problems. In addition, bat guano can also lead to a mold problem as well as structural damage to your home. This can deteriorate the roof inside an attic which leads to leaks during rainstorms. They can also contaminate the insulation in an attic and lead to toxic fumes when it becomes heated during the summer months.
Wild animals like bats can enter through open doors or windows. Other possible ways they can get into your home are through holes in screens, construction cracks, and gaps around chimneys.
If you have bats in your attic then wildlife control professionals recommend a bat removal process which will entail installing one-way exclusion devices to prevent them from re-entering. The exclusion device is usually installed on an opening or hole where airflow forces the bats to exit through the opening and prevent any wildlife from re-entering.

Phoenix Bat Removal vs Extermination
Upon discovering a family of bats on your property, your first reaction could be, “We need to exterminate them!” yet let me inform you: Bat invasions should not be treated like pest control problems.
Bats can be a nuisance, but extermination isn’t the best solution in this case. They are not insects or termites. Most Phoenix pest control companies are not certified to deal with wildlife issues like bat infestation because they don’t have the knowledge or experience that is necessary. There are much better ways for handling bat invasions than killing them.
There are a lot of factors that come into play when dealing with wildlife, so it is important to hire the right company for your needs! In many cases, bats can be excluded from homes or businesses by installing one-way doors in their roosts and providing an alternative shelter nearby (e.g., chimney). They will install a one-way door or bat window, but this is not as easy for one person to do and may require an expert’s assistance.

Phoenix Bat Control and Damage Repair
The best method of removing a bat is with an exclusion technique. Rather than attempting to lure a bat into a trap, it would be better to force it to leave and never let it return!
The exclusion devices should be installed by professionals for optimal success because they’re designed to fit the dimensions of each hole. We begin our animal removal procedure by figuring out how a bat gained access to your house. Once the entry holes have been created, one-way doors are installed. So, when they leave in the evening to hunt, your bats won’t be able to return to your house.
Here is how we handle a bat exclusion:
- Spend a LOT of time identifying each entrance hole into your house
- Set up one-way doors at every entry points
- Verify that we’ve excluded all of the bats in your attic
- Seal all of the entry points
- Decontaminate your attic to remove all of the harmful guano
- Change insulation (if required)
- Fix any indoor or exterior damage

Dead Animal Removal
The smell of dead animals is worse after they are dead for a few days. When left unattended, they can attract pests and cause damage to your Phoenix attic. In some cases, other materials are also removed during the removal process, such as insulation, drywall, or carpeting, to remove the dead animal buried under a surface.
The sooner you contact AAAC Wildlife Removal of Phoenix after you find a dead animal on your property, the less likely the smell will become worse and may spread to other areas of your home!
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Animal Control kill bats?
Phoenix Animal control will not kill bats. Bats are federally protected in the United States, so they cannot be killed without a federal permit. Animal control services in the Phoenix area usually refer to a bat problem to nuisance wildlife control companies that offer bat control solutions.
Are bats protected in the State of Arizona?
Absolutely! Bats are protected under two different categories: endangered and legally protected. Bats are an important part of Maricopa County and the state of Arizona. Were you aware that bats can eat over one-thousand mosquitos an hour? It would be a dark day if we lost all of our bats. They also make up a fifth of the planet’s mammal population. After rodents, they are the second most common mammal.
What is bat guano?
Bat Guano is a different term for bat droppings. The droppings are little and can appear similar to rats’ droppings. The droppings of bats may also appear as clumps on surfaces in their roosting areas such as between sheets of roofing felt or inside ceilings. Bat droppings may also be found on window ledges and ground surfaces that are frequented by these animals. If you shine a flashlight on them after breaking the droppings apart (please use gloves!), you’ll see them sparkle or a twinkle in the light.
Is bat guano harmful to humans?
Be very cautious around bat guano (once more, gloves people!) as it can transmit a fatal fungal infection known as histoplasmosis. You can inhale it just by being anywhere near guano, so we really suggest you let specialists with proper safety equipment handle an attic cleanup.
