We locate roosts, install exclusion devices, and seal attics, barns, and chimneys so bats can leave safely and cannot re-enter.
Signs you have a bat problem
Wildlife problems rarely fix themselves, and they often get more costly to deal with the longer they continue. If you notice any of the signs below, it is worth having your property looked at early.
- Scratching, squeaking or fluttering sounds in the attic or walls, often around dusk and dawn.
- Dark droppings (guano) piled below roof edges, on window sills or inside the attic.
- Brown staining or greasy marks around small gaps in siding, soffits or fascia.
- A musty, ammonia-like smell that grows stronger in warm weather.
- Bats seen circling or slipping into the roofline at evening.
How we remove bats
- Inspection: we examine the roofline, soffits, chimney and siding to find every opening the bats are using.
- Humane exclusion: we install one-way exclusion devices so bats can leave on their own but cannot get back in.
- Sealing and repairs: once the bats are out, we seal the entry points and repair damaged areas, with cleanup of droppings where needed.
- Follow-up: we check the work and confirm the colony has not found a new way in.
Our process follows the same careful, humane approach on every job and is adjusted to the animal and your property. We explain each step as we go, so you always know what is being done and why.

When you call, we listen to what you are seeing or hearing and ask about your property. We then arrange an inspection and give you a free quote, so you know the plan before any work starts. If you are not sure whether you have a bat problem, call anyway and we will help you work out what is going on and what to do next.
Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to handle a bat myself?
We recommend against it. Avoid direct contact with any bat, keep pets and children away, and call us so the situation can be handled safely.
Do you harm the bats?
No. Our approach is humane. One-way exclusion devices let bats exit without letting them return, so there is no trapping or killing.
When is the right time to do bat exclusion?
Exclusion timing matters. We will assess your situation and advise on the right timing for your property.
How much does wildlife removal cost?
Pricing varies quite a bit with the animal, the structure and the work needed. It is easiest to explain by phone, so call (231) 903-7255 for a free quote.

Bats are protected in Michigan, so there are rules for removing them. Female maternity colonies and hibernating or dormant bats have restrictions on when and how they can be removed. Nick works within those restrictions on every bat job.
