 |
United Bat Control, Inc are professional bat removal
experts who have been specializing in bat exclusion for
commercial, industrial and residential complexes
nationwide since 1989.
Our work is exclusively bat removal and bat
exclusion.
United Bat Control is a family owned business founded in
1989 that has been protecting commercial properties,
families, businesses and the environment by humanely
performing bat removal services to business, homes,
residences, schools, hospitals, restaurants and
commercial buildings. Bats are very important to our
ecology and environment and it is imperative that the
proper bat removal techniques are employed when removing
them from commercial buildings and family dwellings,
especially since the outbreak of White Nose Syndrome
that has had such a devastating effect on our bat
population
United Bat Control removes bats from commercial
property, human dwellings and businesses while allowing
bats to live and thrive in their home community; so that
they may continue to eat the millions of insects that
populate our communities and allow our environment,
ecology and communities to thrive. Utilizing the United
Bat Control patented removal devises enables our company
to expertly exclude bat colonies from interacting with
human beings in business atmospheres and family
dwellings while allowing the bats to relocate in a more
friendly environment to mate, populate and help sustain
our local community's environment and ecology.
United Bat Control Inc. provides multi-year warranties
to protect you
against a re-infestation of bats.
Bat exclusion is as much about protecting your business,
family, your home and your community's agricultural
ability to continue growing food, as it is about
protecting bats, protecting the bat's environment and
protecting our community's farmland. In order to better
understand how easy it is to protect bats and their
environment, as well as protect your commercial property
against the potential harm from bat rabies and disease,
United Bat Control provides these exclusion procedures
and guidelines:
PLEASE CONTACT THE PROVEN EXPERTS IN COMMERCIAL BAT
REMOVAL

Information: One of the first recommendations we make to
anyone that thinks there is any possibility that they
have bats in their home, house, restaurant or commercial
building is to do a complete inspection of the
structure. Attention to detail is the difference between
a successful inspection and failure to determine how the
bats come in and go out of your building.
The entire outside of the building must be inspected.
The larger populations of bats, such as the little Brown
bat, are able to get inside a building that has cracks,
slits or gaps that are only one quarter inch by one and
one half inches and they will get inside a hole that is
five eighths inches by seven eighths inches. Other bat
species are able to get inside your house with even
smaller openings.
While looking for building cracks and gaps, inspect and
search the areas around the air conditioning and heating
units on the roof for commercial properties, the family
chimney, the edge of the roof, the roof overhang, the
valley of the roof, roof eaves, the apex of the gable
(the triangular part of the wall that is between the
edges of a sloping roof). Inspect the exterior of the
building's air conditioning ducts, attics, roof vents,
dormers, siding and any telephone cable or television
cable that has been attached to the exterior walls of
the building. Remember that small holes are all bats
need to enter the building.
Additional Information: We will suggest you continue
your inspection of the building, but this time you are
looking for bat droppings, also known as bat guano, as a
sign of the possibility of a bat colony being inside
your commercial property or home. Be careful but
thorough in checking the roof and chimney for bat guano
droppings. Also be on the lookout for Rub Marks made by
bats entering and exiting the building. You are looking
for a stained area that is yellowish brown to black
brown in color, slightly sticky and will have a smooth
polished appearance from high use. You want to give the
outside of the building or home a thorough look and then
you want to inspect the attic and air conditioning
pathways.
The attic inspection is imperative for a proper bat
removal inspection. A professional bat inspector will be
wearing a respirator to protect their lungs from
inhaling potential disease carried by bat guano
droppings. These droppings will also help the
professional bat removal expert determine the type of
bats that are in the attic and help in the planning to
do the bat removal humanely and protect the bat
population from unnecessary harm. The attic inspection
will tell the United Bat Control expert the size of the
bat colony and where they are living in the attic - and
highlight where the bats are entering the building or
house, be it the building's roof, chimney, the roofs
edge or the knot hole around the attic window.
Bat Information: Bats leave their living quarters, their
roost, at dusk for a night of flight and eating. They
help the environment by eating millions of insects that
are often harmful to human beings. They carry seeds and
help in pollinating flowers that benefit our ecology and
environment. So usually our next step in our building
and house inspection is to stand outside at dusk and
observe the bats as they leave the building or home.
What one expert may have missed with the close hand
inspection of the building is caught and supplemented by
the United Bat Control expert in observing and
following
the bats leaving the roost.
Equipment for Removing Bats: The installation of
patented bat exclusion devices is the next step in the
process of removing bats from your commercial property,
house or business. During our dusk inspection and
observation of the bats leaving your property, we
determine whether one or more exclusion devices will
best serve the needs of the bat colony. Once the
exclusion device locations are determined and the best
number of exclusion devices to be used is determined,
our bat control, bat removal professional will re-enter
the house or business and install the device.
The installation of our patented One Way Bat Exclusion
Device is done so that the entire bat colony will leave
the building. This is normally a one, two or three day
process depending upon the size of the colony. You do
not want to go to the effort of removing 99% of the
colony; it is imperative that you get 100% of the bats
out and do so humanely and safely.
Building Repair: Prior to, during and upon completion of
the installation of the One Way Bat Removal Exclusion
Device, it is imperative to patch up, repair and fix all
of the cracks, slits, gaps and holes that were found
during the bat removal inspection. Once you have given
the bats a way to get out the building, you do not want
them to be able to return to your house or business. It
is in the best interest of all parties to make sure that
you seal the gaps permanently so that the bats are
unable to return.
Building Clean Up: It is imperative for the health and
safety of everyone who enters your business or home for
a thorough cleaning of the building grounds, attic, roof
and walls to remove bat guano. Bat guano is a breeding
ground for micro-organisms and in some cases will become
a breeding ground for histoplasmosis, an infection that
is able to cause harm to humans. Bat guano can
accumulate in walls, floors and ceilings. What is in
plain site is not always the true amount of bat guano
that needs to be removed from your home or business.
Important Information about Bat Rabies
One must always be careful with bats and bat guano when
they are found in your home and business. There is
always the possibility and potential that they are
carrying rabies. Rabies is an infection that will affect
human beings. We can get rabies from a bat if they are
carrying rabies and they bite us. It is imperative that
if you have been bitten by a bat with rabies, you must
get a vaccination within two (2) weeks of getting the
bite because once you start getting sick it is fatal.
However, you do have 2 weeks to get a vaccination and if
your dog, cat or horse has been bitten by a bat, there
are
vaccinations to protect them too.
While 99% of all bats are rabies free, they still rank
in the number three position behind raccoons and skunks
for giving human beings rabies. It has been reported
that during the past 20 years, there have been more
human rabies cases that began with a bat bite in the
United States than of any other wildlife group.
If you think you have bats in your home or business,
call United Bat Control and let us come out and inspect
the building. You'll be glad you called a professional
bat removal expert.
We've been doing this since 1998.
Bat Facts
If you have a bat control problem with a single bat
or a bat colony, United Bat Conrol can assist you in the
removal of the bat in the most humane way possible. We
understand that bats are very important to our planet.
We are doing everything in our control to make sure that
once removed from a dwelling the bats are safe, healthy,
find a new home and keep the ecological system balanced.
United Bat Control utilizes their patented devises that
enables us to humanely exclude bat colonies numbering
from a few in number to thousands in number! After a
proper exclusion is performed it is necessary to bat
proof a structure so that the colonies cannot return.
The ecological materials that are used to bat proof a
structure are applied in a professional manner so as to
conform to the aesthetics of your structure and the
ecology of the community.
All accessible Guano should be removed. After a Guano
clean-up is completed, it is recommended to have an
application of a sterilizer and deodorizer provided.
This application is intended to kill the fungus that can
cause Hystoplasmosis, as well as assist in providing a
solution to the odor problem that is caused by bats and
their colonies.
Never handle a dead animal without gloves and never
attempt to clean up the bat mess they made without
gloves because it could contain disease matter. When you
come across a live bat situation where you know they are
in your house or business, give them a chance to leave
quietly, rather than shout, scream or yell for them to
get out of your home. As professionals we have found
that one of the most successful ways to make a bat leave
is by installing a one way bat door over their entry and
exit holes that they are using as front and back doors
to your house and business.
