Bats are able to sneak through the tiniest gaps, cracks and voids to enter homes and properties. Residents of Burlington, Greensboro, Winston-Salem and surrounding cities are all susceptible to having bats living in their homes. Bats carry diseases and their guano contains dangerous Histoplasmosis. Do you possibly have bats in your attic? Check out the following signs:
Evidence of Bats:
- You see them – Do you see bats? Have you seen critters that look like birds flying around at dusk or sunrise? Perhaps you have seen them hanging in your attic, in soffit eaves, exhaust vents, ridge vents or gable vents?
- You hear them – Do you hear scratching in your attic or walls? Do you hear fluttering, screeching, chirping or other noises that sound like animals might be inside?
- You smell them – Do you catch whiffs of something that smells like urine? Chances are it could be bats.
- You see guano – Do you see animal droppings in your attic, on your driveway or porch or on the ground under gable vents, eaves or vents? You might even smell the guano.

What to expect at your appointment with a Critter Control Technician:
Our expert technicians have been successfully removing bats in Burlington, Greensboro and Winston-Salem for many years. The technicians will perform a thorough inspection and then partner with you to determine an appropriate plan of action to get rid of the bats and remove any remaining bat guano.
Step One – Complete Bat Inspection.
Our technicians will first gather more information from you. They will evaluate your attic for presence of bats and guano. They will evaluate areas on and near the roof for potential entry points. Potential entry points may include: Eaves, Ridge Vents, Exhaust Vents, and Gable vents. Our technicians use ladders to completely inspect your roof. Technicians will investigate other areas where they suspect bats to be.
Step Two – Plan of Action.
After performing the inspection, our technicians will discuss their findings with you. They will also show you pictures of their findings. Technicians will work with you to determine the best course of action to evict bats. They will work with you to fit your budget and achieve desired end results.
The Bat Eviction Process:
After your inspection, you will be contacted by a Critter Control team member to schedule your bat removal. Our team will inform you on whether you need to be home and how long the appointment will take. Each process will be custom to your home and your needs. Here are a few examples of what might happen.
Bat Valves Installed – These are one way doors that allow bats to leave your home, yet do not allow them to return.
Exclusion Work – Critter Control Technicians will seal all access points to your home. This prevents the bats from returning. We offer warranties for your peace of mind.
Guano Removal – Once the bats are removed, our technicians will remove the guano from your attic.
*Keep in mind that bats are protected by federal law. This means we cannot remove them in May, June and July during birthing season. However, during this time we can inspect your home and help prevent the bats from getting into your living space. We can also prevent them from entering additional areas on your home prior to August 1. Starting August 1, we can begin evicting the bats from your property. You can still call us during the summer months to schedule your inspection.
