Bat Removal from Attics in Waukesha, Wisconsin
We provide humane and effective bat removal services to keep homes free of diseases and damage from these creatures.

Bats are nocturnal creatures, so you’ll likely spot them flying around your home at night. If there’s a colony living in your attic or walls and leaving droppings behind, it can be pretty disturbing to see them flying around your house. Plus, they carry diseases that could potentially hurt people and spread through their waste products, like bat guano.
Once you’ve confirmed a bat problem, it’s time to call for help from experts; if left untreated, these animals can cause serious damage and pose health risks. Bats may look harmless, but their guano is full of dangerous spores that can lead to histoplasmosis – an infection that often leads to flu-like symptoms at first with more severe respiratory issues later on down the road. AAAC Wildlife Removal can help you with any questions or concerns about bat control.

Bat Exclusion
The best method of bat removal in Waukesha is to seal up any areas that the bats might be using as entry points. This is known as exclusion. It ensures that bats won’t return to your home after they have been removed from their existing roosting areas. Bat exclusion is quite a thorough process that requires an inspection of the exterior and interior areas where bats might be getting in.
These entry points may include chimneys, vents, gaps under garage doors or beneath eaves, even holes as tiny as a half-inch. After these areas have been identified by our bat specialist, we will take steps for sealing them off to prevent other bats from entering your home.

This is how we handle bat exclusions:
- We spend a great deal of time identifying bat entry points and then sealing them shut
- We set up one-way doors so that bats can exit but not reenter the building
- Double check that all bats are excluded and out of your home
- We then seal all entry points with steel wool or mesh screens to prevent re-entry
- After this, we go through and do a thorough clean-up of any guano left in the attic or walls.
- Proceed with replacement of soiled insulation.
- Repair of wildlife damage, both inside and outside of the home.
First, we spend a lot of time looking for entry points to bats. To prevent future infestations, it is important to ensure that there are no other entry points. The next step involves the installation of one-way doors to allow the bats out, but not back in again – this is a safe and humane method of removing the bats from your house without harming them.
We then double-check that all bats are out of your home to prevent accidental contact with any bat that may have been missed. After which we seal all entry points with steel wool or mesh screens to prevent the bats from re-entering.
Next is to do a thorough clean-up using professional-grade cleaners and sanitizers for any fecal matters left behind by the bats in your home’s floor and insulation. We will go to great lengths in order to make sure your home is free from odors or guano. Fogging with enzyme cleaner is also done after the insulation has been removed to make sure every nook and cranny is disinfected.
Once the attic is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, we look at wildlife damage. We’ll fix any damage they may have done inside or outside of your home to make your house look new again.
Dangers of DIY Bat Removal
Bats are known to be carriers of deadly viruses such as rabies and leptospirosis. Their guano is also toxic and can infect humans with histoplasmosis.
Histoplasmosis is the most common disease (besides rabies) associated with bats and can be fatal if contracted by people – especially those with compromised immune systems – which includes young children, elderly people, and pregnant women. This is why it is not recommended to attempt to remove bats by yourself.
FAQs
What is guano?
Guano is bat feces or droppings. These droppings are a major cause of Histoplasmosis disease which is contracted from breathing in dust that comes from dried guano and can also cause stains on ceilings if the bats have been living there for some time.
Is guano harmful?
Yes. Yes. If left untreated, histoplasmosis can lead to death from breathing in the dust made up of dried bat feces. It is not advised to remove them yourself as you could contract the disease.
Is it safe for me to remove bats?
Most people will try removing these creatures themselves due to cost – please don’t do this as it’s incredibly dangerous; bats are known carriers of rabies and other zoonotic diseases(human transferable).
It’s not worth the risk to try and remove them on your own as the health risks are too great. You must also remember that permits are required to handle these animals in any type of relocation. It is better to have a professional do the job than attempt it yourself. The time required is much less than the medical costs and other costs associated with bat-related diseases.
