Bat Control In Florida

Excluding Bats Colonies in Florida

Most bat problem in Florida are caused by maternal colonies of Mexican (also known as Brazilian) Free-Tailed Bats. This type of bat forms nests together in attics and buildings together in maternal colonies. These bat colonies once established can number from a few dozen to several hundred. Inside man made buildings, the bats droppings, or guano, create a large mess in the home and a potential health risk.

When a house has bats get in, the bats use small entry / exit points to fly out every sunset to feed for the night and then return at sunrise to sleep for the day.

The key to solve a bat problem is finding all the potential entry points and also the fact that bats will be confused if you disrupt these home weaknesses with bat netting.
