Native California Bat Removal Service

We provide professional bat removal services in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California. Whether you find bats in the attic, chimney, or walls, or droppings around your home or business, our bat removal experts can humanely remove them.

There are 24 bat species residing in Los Angeles (more than 900 species exist worldwide). Bats enter homes to find shelter. We do not poison or fumigate them, which is illegal and expensive and won’t stop more from coming back. Instead, we use exclusion techniques that enable bats to escape but not re-enter. However, this isn’t appropriate from June through August, when adults are nursing their vulnerable young, which would otherwise die and decompose.

Our bat exclusion techniques are humane, legal, and designed to protect the species. Ten bat species in the area are classified as “Species of Special Concern.” Numbers are declining at an alarming rate, causing animal populations to become scattered and localized and, potentially, threatened or endangered. As for your home, we know you and your family need to remain protected from this often-misunderstood mammal.

About Bats

Bats are mammals. They have fur, produce their own body heat, and provide milk for their young. They are biologically similar to other mammals, except they have a flexible membrane connecting their leg bones, tail, and elongated fingers and forearms. A bat can live 30 years or longer, generally producing just one offspring per year. They’re nocturnal animals and feed using echolocation to capture insects, including mosquitoes.

Species normally found in Southern California include:

• Big Brown Bat
• California Myotis
• Mexican Free-Tailed Bat
• Pallid Bat
• Western Pipistrelle Bat
• Yuma Myotis Bat

California Law

Bats are a protected species. Unless you have a Department of Fish and Game license, it is illegal to capture or possess them, although it’s legal for a property owner or employee to remove them if causing property damage. >
