Bats are nocturnal creatures that travel in colonies and their large numbers can quickly cause problems for business and home owners.

This makes attics a prime nesting location and once they establish a colony, they become very territorial so removal by an expert in of utmost importance. Once inside they are very noisy and their extremely odorous droppings accumulate quickly, serving as a dangerous breeding ground for disease such as Bat Rabies and Histoplasmosis.

Guano poses two different risks; excessive weight on ceiling structures that if left untreated may require extensive repair and restoration and more importantly deadly disease.
