Bat Removal Philadelphia
Several bat species inhabit the Philadelphia metro area, roosting in attics, wall voids, and building exteriors. Bats are protected under state law, making professional exclusion the only legal removal method. Bat guano accumulation creates health hazards including histoplasmosis. Professional bat removal uses one-way exclusion devices and thorough entry point sealing.

FAQ
Bat Removal — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions our licensed exterminators receive about bat removal in Philadelphia, including costs, treatment timelines, preparation steps, and what results to expect.
How much does bat removal cost in Philadelphia?
Bat Removal is billed at a flat $199/hr, 1-hour minimum, no matter the pest type or severity. Every job includes an inspection and an upfront estimate before any work begins — the rate never changes based on what we find.
Is it legal to kill bats in Philadelphia?
No. Several bat species in the region are protected as threatened or endangered. Many jurisdictions also restrict bat removal during maternity season (typically May-August). Professional exclusion using one-way devices is the only legal and humane removal method.
When can bats be excluded from a building?
Bat exclusion should only be done in early spring (March-April) or fall (September-November). Exclusion during maternity season (May-August) can trap flightless baby bats inside, which is illegal and inhumane.
Are bats dangerous?
Bats can carry rabies, and their guano harbors the fungus that causes histoplasmosis. Never handle a bat with bare hands. If a bat is found in a living space, contact us immediately for safe removal and consult your doctor about rabies exposure.
How do bats get into my house?
Bats can squeeze through gaps as small as 3/8 inch. Common entry points include ridge vents, soffit gaps, chimney flashing, and loose siding. A thorough inspection identifies all entry points before exclusion begins.
