Want to know more about us? We started Virginia Bat Removal with two main purposes in mind. First, to educate the public about bats and their importance to our ecosystem in Virginia. Secondly, to safely and humanely remove bats from Virginia homes and businesses in a manner that protects the customer and does not harm the bats. Following these guiding principles we have built our company into one of the fastest growing and most respected bat removal companies in Virginia. We not only get rid of your bats, but we help you keep the bats out of your Virginia home or business. Best of all our Virginia Bat Removal Services are guaranteed.
Did you know that Virginia is home to about 17 different species of bats? Several of the bat species in Virginia are protected by Federal and/or State law. You should never kill bats. They’re good for the environment.
Of the 17 different bat species in Virginia, generally only two species – the Little Brown Bat and the Big Brown Bat get into our homes and other structures. Both of these species fall into a larger umbrella category of bats known as cave bats.
Bat removal in Virginia should only be performed by experts who have the knowledge, skills and training necessary to effectively and humanely address bats in a structure. The most common calls we receive involving bats are a bat in the house, bats in a chimney, bats in the fireplace, bats in a vents, bats in the soffit, bats in the wall, bats in the ceiling and bats in the attic. Since a full-grown adult bat only needs about a 1/2″ x 1/2″ open to enter a structure, there are many other places that bats can get into.
We are often asked, How much does it cost to remove bats? The truth is no two bat jobs are alike, so bat removal costs can vary. No legitimate bat removal company in Virginia can will give you a cost over the telephone. An accurate cost requires an onsite inspection and assessment of your particular bat problem.
Potential customers are also concerned about bats and rabies. Many people ask, Are bats dangerous? In Virginia, generally only 3% – 5% of bats are rabid. That said, if you are ever in doubt about potentially having been exposed to rabies you should immediately discuss this matter with your physician. Your local health department is another good source of information.
What are other issues or dangers associated with bats? The short answer is yes. Histoplasmosis is a lung disease contracted from a fungus that can live in bat guano (bat poop, bat droppings). The other potential issue is bat bugs. They’re parasites that normally feed on a bat host and are similar in appearance to bed bugs.
