It’s the process of removing a bat colony (bat family) from a structure humanely. The process usually requires the use of a “One Way Bat Door” or bat cone that allows the bat colony to exit or leave the house without allowing the bats to regain entrance back into the house.
The one way bat door is only effective if the entire perimeter of the home or business structure is sealed properly. When sealing the property the use of silicone caulk and other industry standard sealing products are used to properly seal all access points that the bat or bats may try to use to regain entrance to the home.
A bat can be tenacious and can fit into the smallest of voids or areas that are open, in fact it can be be extremely difficult for the do it yourself homeowner to find and seal all the areas that a bat kind find the access the home. This is because most of the areas a bat will gain access is on the roof line, gable vents, siding, eaves and any spot the has a hole big enough to allow for access.
Most of the calls for bat removal are in the attic, in the chimney and in the attic eaves and most homes today have an aggressively inclined roof pitch which makes it very dangerous to traverse and injuries can happen from falls from the roof.
Today’s bat removal expert has proper knowledge of bat removal procedures and the experience to handle pitched roof lines and difficult bat removal conflict in Charleston, WV and outlaying areas. If the roof is an aggressive pitch special equipment may be needed to ensure safe bat removal for both the professional and the bats that are in the attic.
In Charleston, WV Big Brown Bats and Small Brown Bats are the typical problematic species in homes, church and business buildings. These two species are very similar except in size and are found through out the state.
Bats will hide under insulation in the attic and can be hard to find if you suspect a bat removal issue in your attic. Bats will continuously defecate (poop or pee) so bat droppings are a good indicating factor of a bat removal problem in the attic. Some so called home inspectors have an issue in determination of the difference between rat droppings and bat droppings, which has launched a movement lately with home inspections by wildlife removal professionals as well.

Raccoons are one of the most common Nuisance Animals in the United States. Professional wildlife removal operators have the knowledge, skills, and equipment to get rid of raccoons. If you have been hearing scratching sounds in your attic, walls, chimney, or crawlspace chances are its a raccoon. Raccoons may gain entry to your attic, crawlspace, walls, and raccoons in the chimney of your home or business. Once these nuisance animals gain entry to your home or business they can cause significant damage. Female raccoons look for places to have their young, and attics and chimneys are VERY good accessible locations that appeal to these critters.
The Raccoon is one of United States most commonly seen nocturnal creatures. These animals are seen mostly at night and usually the raccoon can be seen along the road ways, in cities and towns. These animals are very cute to look at, and watch, however it can be one of America’s most destructive wildlife creatures. Raccoons are very aggressive animals that can carry and transmit rabies.

Trapping raccoons for a living I have found several things about raccoon to be true.
First and foremost “A Raccoon can be Dangerous!” and unpredictable. I have heard a multitude of questions through out the years of trapping raccoon and removal from an attic or chimney space, for attic crawlspaces and chimney areas seem to be a great place for mom raccoon to build a family.
Some of the questions and or concerns are as followed. And if you have similar thoughts or raccoon questions fell free to give us a call for a free consultation over the phone to establish a need or not in raccoon removal.
I have a raccoon living in my attic, how do I get rid of that raccoon? I hear noises in the attic that I believe are raccoon or rodent in nature. Are raccoon dangerous? Do raccoon carry disease? why did the raccoon choose my house to live in? Does a raccoon growl? I live in Charleston, WV and I think I have a raccoon or coon conflict.Are a coon the same thing as raccoon? I have a raccoon that eats my dogs food on the porch. Who can trap humanly a raccoon from my house? I have a raccoon in the garage. Why do raccoons attack my trashcan? Is there a professional raccoon removal company in Charleston, WV? What do I do to get rid of my raccoon problem in my attic? Is there a company that clean up the poop and feces impacted insulation in my attic? what is attic restoration? Is there a attic restoration company in Charleston, WV or close to it? Do raccoon shed their winter coat of fur or is it hair? Are a raccoon related to a bear or a bat? Do raccoon go into hibernation? What kind of disease do raccoon carry? Raccoon carry a ringworm that can be deadly humans! Raccoons will bite if threatened! Are raccoons really strong? How do I know if the dead animal odor I smell is from a dead raccoon?
In truth I have had so many calls about a raccoon that needs removal that I could fill a book with the question. I hope the reader has found this that I have displayed for information helps out. The main thing is to get professional help with any wildlife conflict. In fact some homeowner insurance companies will cover a majority if not all of the cost of the raccoon or coon conflict! Either way good luck 🙂
