Bat Exclusion At Barnes Wildlife Control
Integrity, Quality Professionalism
TeamHow Our Bat removal Dayton Ohio Team Does A Bat Exclusion
Before we can resolve any bat problem using our bat exclusion process, Barnes Wildlife Control must thoroughly inspect the building bats inhabit. During this inspection, we must locate every possible opening bats can use to get into and out of the structure, and where the bats are located.
We will inform you of the number of bats in your building, the species of bats, where they are located, the damage your building has incurred, and the estimated time to remove the bats.
Once our Bat Removal Dayton Ohio experts have established the bat entrances and exits, they must seal off all but one or two. Our top-notch carpentry team professionally does all sealings during the bat exclusion process, ensuring the repairs fit with the aesthetics of the building.
Over the holes that we have not covered, uniquely designed “bat valves” are strategically attached. These one-way bat valves allow bats to leave during their nightly insect runs but they cannot reenter due to the construction of the bat valve.
Barnes Wildlife Control crew is performing a bat exclusion by sealing the bat’s entry points on an area of the roof and chimney. Need a bat exclusion? Click To Call At (937) 340-1867.
Once we set the bat valves, they will remain on your building three days to a week. We suggest that you go outside around dusk, and you should see bats leaving through the one-way bat valves. The bats will attempt to get back in through the sealed entrances or the bat valves by morning, but their attempts will be futile. By the end of the week, you’ll have a bat-free home.
Unfortunately, you may face another possible issue: an extensive cleanup and sanitation of the area inhabited by bats. Due to bacteria and viruses in bat guano, you must address any possible contamination that could threaten the health of you, your family, or your customers if you are a business.
Ohio Law On Bat Exclusions
The exclusion of more than 15 individual bats from any Ohio structure from May 16th through July 31st requires written consent from the Division of Wildlife (DOW) under Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) 1501:31-15-03. This restriction period is put in place to protect bats and their flightless pups during the maternity period.

Exclusions performed during this time often cause more problems than simply waiting until pups can fly (August). Not only will the exclusion result in dead bat babies, but desperate mothers trying to get back to their young often find their way into living spaces. However, for special health and safety reasons, a bat exclusion may be allowed by the state.

Another Happy Customer After A Bat Exclusion
“I called Barnes Wildlife Control when we heard sounds coming from our attic. They came out within a week and did a thorough inspection of the house, both outside and in the attic (and even in super cold weather outside). They discovered we had bats.
Tommy answered all my questions and gave me a written estimate of the work that needed to be done. Tommy and his group were out the next week sealing up the house and installing valves so the bats will leave, but not be able to return.
Tommy has been very friendly and easy to work with. He’s answered all my questions and gave me a thorough explanation of the process.
I’m glad we called Barnes Wildlife Control about this problem. I’m confident we will be taking care of our bat problem for good!”
