Bat Removal and Structural Exclusion Services
Bat Control Specialists Serving the Greater Atlanta Metropolitan Area
Bats are a protected species, so removing bats from your attic by yourself is not only dangerous but potentially illegal. Georgia prohibits killing or trapping bats, requiring them to be removed only by a licensed Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator.
Attempting bat exclusion on your own is also strongly discouraged between April 1st and July 31st, as bat pups trapped inside structures cannot escape and will perish.
The most common species encountered in North Georgia include the Big Brown Bat and the Evening Bat, both protected species that can damage structures without proper exclusion.
Arete’s humane and legal bat exclusion services take the stress out of bat removal, ensuring that all bat species are safely removed and structures are reinforced to prevent future entry. With fast service available and a strong local presence, you can get rid of bats before they damage structures and keep them out for good.

How Bats End Up in Your Attic
Metro Atlanta’s warm climate and abundant insect population make residential attics attractive roosting sites for bats that have lost their local habitat to urban expansion.
Your home is especially vulnerable to bats and other wildlife when it contains:
- Unsealed ridge vents
- Gable vents without fine screening
- Gaps along roof returns
- Warped fascia boards
- Chimneys without proper caps
Once a colony forms, it may return to the same structure annually unless entry points are professionally sealed.
Unfortunately, removing bats can be tricky or expensive, making preventative bat exclusion and wildlife control essential for your safety and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
While bats are beneficial for insect control, attic colonies can create health concerns. Guano accumulation may support fungal growth, and any direct contact with a bat should be treated seriously due to rabies risk.
Rodent control focuses on mice and rats that live inside walls, attics, basements, and living spaces and requires ongoing prevention and exclusion. Wildlife removal addresses larger animals such as raccoons, squirrels, or bats that typically invade attics, crawlspaces, chimneys, or exterior areas and often involves damage repair and odor remediation.
When is bat maternity season in Georgia?
Maternity season typically runs from late spring through mid-summer (May–August). During this time, young bats are unable to fly, and exclusion work must be carefully timed.
How do bats get inside homes?
Bats enter through small construction gaps along ridge vents, soffits, roof returns, and fascia seams. Openings as small as 3/8 inch are sufficient.
Will bats leave on their own?
Colonies may temporarily disperse at night to feed, but they return to established roosting sites unless entry points are sealed.
Do bats damage homes?
Bats do not chew wood or wiring, but guano accumulation can damage insulation and create odor issues over time.
How long does bat exclusion take?
The exclusion process typically takes several days to allow all bats to exit safely before final sealing is completed.
