Bat Removal for Healthcare Facilities
United Bat Control has specialized in professional bat removal and bat exclusion nationwide since 1998.
Hospitals, medical centers, clinics, nursing facilities and other healthcare properties present unique challenges when bats enter occupied areas or establish colonies within the structure.
United Bat Control provides humane bat removal, exclusion and structural bat-proofing for healthcare facilities throughout the United States.
Our work is focused exclusively on bat removal and bat exclusion.

Healthcare Facilities Require Careful Bat Control
Bats can enter buildings through surprisingly small openings and may establish roosts in rooflines, attics, wall spaces, mechanical areas and other protected portions of a structure.
Healthcare buildings can be especially complex because they may operate around the clock and contain patient rooms, cafeterias, laundry areas, offices, storage rooms, mechanical spaces and other occupied or sensitive areas.
When bats are present, the goal is to identify how they are entering the building, remove them humanely and address the structural conditions that may allow them to return.
Humane Bat Exclusion for Hospitals & Medical Facilities
United Bat Control develops a bat-removal and exclusion plan based on the individual building, the location of the colony and the conditions identified during inspection.
Our approach is designed to remove bats from the structure without unnecessarily harming them while helping protect patients, employees, visitors and the property itself.
Healthcare Bat Control Services
Depending on the property and the conditions found, United Bat Control services may include:
- Inspection for bat activity and building entry points
- Removal and humane exclusion of bat colonies
- Structural bat-proofing
- Sealing potential entry points
- Guano removal when required
- Histoplasmosis remediation when appropriate
- Sanitizing and odor-control services
- Related cleanup based on the condition of the property
How Healthcare Bat Exclusion Works
1. Inspect the Facility
The first step is determining where bats are active, where they may be roosting and the openings they are using to enter and exit the structure.
2. Develop an Exclusion Plan
Healthcare facilities can contain numerous potential access points. The exclusion plan is based on the building, the location of the colony and the areas that must remain accessible and operational during the work.
3. Humane Bat Exclusion
Appropriate exclusion methods allow bats to leave the building without unnecessarily harming them.
4. Structural Bat-Proofing
Entry points and vulnerable areas are sealed as appropriate to help prevent bats from returning to the structure.
5. Follow-Up & Cleanup
The completed exclusion work is reviewed, and cleanup or related services can be addressed when required by the condition of the property and scope of work.

Working Around an Operating Healthcare Facility
Healthcare facilities frequently operate around the clock. Bat-removal work may therefore need to be coordinated around patients, employees, visitors and normal building operations.
United Bat Control will work with facility representatives to develop a service schedule appropriate for the property. When appropriate, work may be coordinated during lower-activity periods, after normal business hours or on weekends to reduce disruption.

Bat activity in an occupied healthcare facility should be taken seriously. Bats and accumulated bat guano can create health and sanitation concerns. United Bat Control can assess the property, identify the source of the problem and recommend an appropriate bat-exclusion plan. |
Bat Health & Sanitation Concerns
Bats and their colonies can create health and sanitation concerns when they occupy areas of a building used by patients, staff or visitors.
Accumulated bat guano can also require professional attention depending on the location, amount and condition of the affected area.

Experience With Large & Complex Buildings
Hospitals and healthcare facilities can contain multiple roof levels, mechanical systems, wall transitions, vents and other construction features that may provide bats with access to protected spaces within the structure.
United Bat Control evaluates the building and the bat activity as a whole rather than simply addressing the most obvious opening. Successful exclusion requires understanding how bats are using the structure and addressing the conditions that allow them to enter.
