One of the most important aspects of Bat or Wildlife Control is the Inspection. Without a detailed inspection not only will removal or control efforts take longer but also long term results are impossible.
Special equipment is needed for accessing steep roofs or dangerous areas. A detailed systematic approach is a must to identify all problem areas. This is especially true when performing bat removal or evictions. Many companies may offer inspections but lack the equipment, training and type of personnel needed for these thorough inspections.
Its always a good idea to make sure your bat or wildlife removal company is licensed and insured to protect you from injuries or damages.
Inspections of your property include: Basements and Crawl Spaces, Attic, Roof, Dormers
Chimney, Rodent Entry Areas, Furnace Ventilation, Attic Ventilation, Soffit and Fascia, Bath, Stove and Dryer Vents, Siding, and Foundation
Our bat removal and control method is called a bat eviction. Simply put, we allow the bats to leave naturally out of your house and attic unharmed and without the use of chemicals. Once outside in their natural habitat the bats are permanently excluded from your house, attic and walls.
Our Method:
We arrive with a fully equipped truck. We start by sealing all gaps 1/4 inch and larger that bats may be able to use. We screen or cap all ventilation systems if needed, and install a special 1-way exit valves over the bat entry points. This allows the bats to exit from your attic, house, or building through the 1-way bat valve. But once out the bats cannot re-enter through the special bat valves, and all other possible entry points have already been sealed. Simply put once the bats leave they cannot reenter.
Many people make mistakes trying to solve bat problems on their own. Main entry points are only a small step to removing bats. Secondary entry points that bats may use are also very important. After the bats have been excluded they will search the exterior of the house relentlessly in effort to find a new entry area. We recommend the hiring of a professional with experience to remove the bats from your house, attic and buildings.
Bat Bugs are very similar to Bed Bugs. They feed on the blood of bats and will bite people when populations are high or when the bats (hosts) are removed. Treatments for Bat Bugs require a state license, and American Pest Solution's technicians are all certified bat specialists.
Histoplasmosis- a disease caused by the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum. The fungus lives in the environment, usually in association with large amounts of bat and bird droppings. Lung infection can occur after a person inhales airborne, microscopic fungal spores from the environment. The symptoms of histoplasmosis are similar to pneumonia.
If you have had a bat problem, we highly recommend an attic cleanup. Infestations of bats, rodents, and wildlife can create an unsafe environment for yourself and family. Common issues could be histoplasmosis, rabies, hantavirus, roundworm, and many more.
The removal of animal feces and carcasses is a task very few people like to undertake.
Animal feces and carcasses will need to be sanitized & treated before the removal process can proceed safely. All of the animal feces and carcasses potentially carry very harmful infectious diseases.
Large animal carcasses will need to be removed by hand and then bagged for disposal. Smaller animal carcases and feces can often be removed safely with our high powered vacuum or again by hand if required and disposed safely.
Sanitizing- is one of the first and last steps to a clean up. First, large piles of feces, guano, and droppings are treated before we remove them. This allows us to kill spores and bacteria before they are disturbed when removing. Once all the attic has been cleaned of feces, guano, droppings, debris and insulation removed. We treat all surfaces in the attic space for bacteria, fungi, viruses and more.
Deodorizing- is important to reduce the odors that may be left behind from the past infestation. This is done after all feces, debris and insulation has been removed.
We specialize and have offered all your attic clean up, abatement, feces, decontamination, debris, insulation removal and re insulation services for over a decade. With a past in wildlife and pest removal for over two decades.
We remove all types of insulation: Blown, rolled and others. We can help with most animal or pest related problems that contractors do not handle.
Insulation, feces and debris are removed by a high powered vacuum and hose. The vacuum is placed on the exterior of the home with the hose ran into a gable vent or upper window to prevent further contamination to the home from the insulation, feces and debris being removed.
We highly recommend professional removal for clean up, abatement, feces, decontamination, debris, insulation removal services. Personal protective equipment is always used on the job. Everyone has tyvek suits, gloves, and full face respirators to reduce the possibility of being infected while engaging in attic clean up, abatement, feces, decontamination, debris, and insulation removal services.
Once the attic clean up, abatement, feces, decontamination, debris, and insulation removal has been completed and sanitized and deodorized, we are ready to put in new insulation. We install blown insulation to a minimum R-38 valve, which is recommended for this region.
A properly installed attic space will dramatically improve the level of comfort you experience in your home. It will help keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. In return you will save a good deal of money on your energy bills.
