About Washington DC Bat Removal
Welcome to washingtondcbat.com. We are the only qualified bat removal company in Washington DC, DC. We're a licensed wildlife control company with expertise in removing bats legally and in a 100% effective manner. Whether these pests are hiding in your attic, have made their home in the walls of your home, have infested the basement and garage, or are just swarming in your property, bats are a nuisance. Apart from the fact that these animals are quite spooky, they also cause damage to your property with the bat guano and their droppings that leave ugly stains everywhere. But when it comes to getting rid of bats, the task isn't that easy and must be done by an expert only. That's because killing or poisoning any species of bats is illegal. We provide professional bat removal services for homes, offices, apartment buildings, and any type of residential or commercial property that's infested with bats. Our bat removal experts have years of experience in clearing properties infested with bats without harming the animals in any way at all. Plus, we do not trap the bats as well. If any wildlife animal is captured during the process, our team of experts ensures that the creature is safely transported to its natural habitat where it may spend the rest of its life in peace. In addition to this, after removing the entire bat colony from your property, we'd also decontaminate the space and clean all the surfaces filled with bat guano. After our experts have finished the job, you'd be left with a home that isn't just free of bats, but also clean, fresh, and without any lingering smell of bats! We operate 24-7-365, so don't hesitate to call us at 202-793-4210 to discuss your bat problem and schedule a fast appointment.
Residential
We are experts at removing bats from residential properties. Whether you have a single bat trapped in your house, a colony roosting in your attic, and/or various other problems, there is no need to worry! During our removal process, we make sure to inspect your entire home carefully, tracking down all the entrypoints bats are using to invade your place. Next, we perform a process called live exclusion (where no bats are harmed and all exit your property), then seal all entry holes completely shut. We also take care of the cleanup process after, so your home is safe and clean!
Learn MoreCommercial
Besides residential areas, we also have a wealth of experience removing bats from commercial properties! We begin by investigating the area for possible bat entrances, covering holes even as small as 1/4 of an inch. Through our live exclusion process, bats leave the building through one-way exits, and we seal up every hole afterward. Once the bats have been removed, we perform a cleanup process. This includes dealing with guano, replacing damaged insulation, and decontaminating the place.

What is the bat maternity season?
Chances are, if you've found a bunch of bats in your home, it's a colony of female bats about to hair their babies. This means a couple of things for you. Firstly, you are going to have to learn to get alone with your new flying friends and secondly, congratulations on your new bat babies!
As annoying as bats may be for you, they are a protected species because of the serious effect they have on our eco-system. A slight change in that eco-system could leave things out of balance and you would be the first to complain when there are too many flying insects biting you and driving you mad. It is actually illegal to try and kill bats at any time of year, with special permits granted for mitigating circumstances, but rarely does this happen. It is also illegal and a very bad idea to try and move them from your home during the time of their maternity season, which can range from April to August, depending on the species of bat, and the state that you are in. Warmer climates tend to see the bats going into season slightly earlier than the colder temperatures.
When the mother bat has her babies, she has to provide everything for them for a few months because as yet, they will be unable to fly. It can be many weeks before the bat babies, or pups as they are correctly known can fly the roost and this means that if you try and move the mothers, life is going to get very difficult for the babies.
Let's think of things this way – the average colony of bats found in a home contains roughly 40 bats. Each one of these bats is going to be female as male bats don't form in colonies in residential homes, and each one of these females can have one pup each. That means that you will have 40 babies doing their thing around your home. If you take away the mothers, what are the babies going to do? They are going to crawl into tiny cracks and crevices in the hunt for food, not find any, and probably die. This means that you are going to need to know how many bat mothers there were in your attic before you try and remove them, and also how many babies there are too otherwise you are going to be finding that they are decomposing all around your home and causing an awful smell for many weeks and months to come, especially if the temperature gets warmer, which it generally tends to do at this time of year.
This is why removing the bats during their maternity season is a very bad idea – you are going to be left with a whole host of babies that you won't have a clue what to do with. Even if you did manage to find the babies that were running loose in your attic and home, what would you do with it? Exactly – maternity season is the wrong time of year to try and remove your bats and your babies.
If you are unlucky enough to be caught removing the bats during maternity season or killing bats at all, you could face very hefty fines and you can be sure that you will be prosecuted. This means that the advice given by a professional to use a professional to remove the creatures isn't just to swindle you out of your hard earned cash; it could save you a whole lot of drama, remove a whole host of bat babies, and stop you from getting into an awful lot of trouble. Perhaps it's best to leave it to the experts?
