Florida Law & Compliance
Florida law — not just our policy — prohibits bat exclusion from April 15 through August 15. Any company offering removal inside that window is breaking the law or misidentifying the animal. See FWC nuisance wildlife rules →
| Factor | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Number of entry points | More access points mean more exclusion material and labor time |
| Attic/roof accessibility | Steep, multi-story, or tile roofs require extra safety equipment |
| Presence of young/litter | Family removal takes extra time and a humane handling approach |
| Extent of damage | Insulation replacement, wiring repair referrals, and sanitation add scope |
| Recurring or unresolved activity | Prior incomplete exclusion elsewhere may require more extensive sealing |
Bat Removal FAQs
Can you remove bats from my attic right now in Eatonville?
In Eatonville, only outside April 15 through August 15. In that window the pups cannot fly, and a one-way door strands them in the attic. That exclusion is illegal statewide. During the season we inspect, map the gap they use at dusk, and set the valve for the first legal day. We do not trap bats. Trapping is not a legal method in Florida.
Are bats in the attic dangerous in Eatonville?
In Eatonville, they are not looking for a fight. The risk is the droppings, and a bite nobody noticed. Guano can carry the fungus that causes histoplasmosis, and it stains ceilings. If a person or a pet touched a bat, call a doctor or a vet that day and tell us. We do not tell you to wait that out.
How do I know it's bats and not birds or rodents in Eatonville?
In Eatonville, watch one gap at dusk. Bats leave in a stream. Birds do not. The droppings crumble into a shiny powder with insect parts. Rodent pellets stay hard. Bird droppings are white and splattered. We name the animal on the house before anyone installs a one-way door.
What is bat exclusion and why can't you just trap them in Eatonville?
In Eatonville, exclusion is a one-way valve on the gap they already use. They leave to feed and cannot get back in. After the colony is out, that gap is closed in a material they cannot reopen. Killing or trapping bats is not the legal fix. Fog and poison do not close a tile gap, and the next colony uses the same hole.
