Bat-Proofing Your Home: Prevention Techniques That Work”
Protect Your Property with Help from Triad Wildlife Experts – Serving Greensboro & the Triad
Stop Bats Before They Move In
Bats are helpful to the environment, but when they find their way into your attic or walls, they can cause serious problems—damage to your home, health risks from guano, and unpleasant odors. The good news? You can prevent bat infestations before they start with a few smart steps.
At Triad Wildlife Experts, we specialize in bat-proofing homes in Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, and the surrounding Triad area. Here’s how you can protect your home from unwanted bat visitors.
🔒 1. Seal All Entry Points
Bats can slip through gaps as small as ½ inch. Common entry points include:
Roofline gaps and loose shingles
Vents and attic louvers
Chimneys
Fascia boards and soffits
Gaps around pipes and cables
Our team inspects your home thoroughly and seals every vulnerable spot using bat-proof materials like heavy-duty mesh, steel wool, and caulk.
🌬️ 2. Install Vent and Chimney Guards
Open vents and chimneys are like open doors for bats. Install wildlife-proof screens or caps to block access while still allowing airflow and ventilation.
At Triad Wildlife Experts, we offer professional installation of custom-fitted vent guards and chimney caps that keep bats—and other pests—out for good.
🕵️ 3. Schedule Annual Inspections
Even after sealing and securing your home, annual inspections help catch any new vulnerabilities early. Seasonal wear and tear can reopen gaps or create new access points over time.
We recommend an inspection every spring or fall to stay ahead of any issues.
🌙 4. Monitor Bat Activity Outside
Pay attention to bat behavior around your home at dusk. If you see bats flying near your roofline, it could be a sign they’re roosting nearby. Catching this early gives you time to act before a colony settles in.
🧼 5. Clean Up Guano Promptly
If bats have previously been in your attic, leftover guano (droppings) can attract new colonies and pose a health risk. We offer professional guano cleanup and sanitation to remove any trace of past activity.
