Bat removal in Swarthmore
Bat Removal in Swarthmore, PA
Bats in the attic or a bat loose in the house.
What you are dealing with
What you can see is usually part of it.
Bats feed over the Crum Woods and the creek and roost in the attics and chimneys of older houses nearby. They get in through gaps no wider than a finger.
One bat flying around a bedroom can be a stray. Bats coming out of the roof at dusk every evening means a colony is living there.
Any of these help us work out what is in there.
- Bats coming out of the roof at dusk
- Dark smudges around a small gap
- Droppings on a windowsill or below an eave
- Squeaking or rustling in a wall or the attic
- A bat inside the house

What happens next
How the job runs.
Watch where they leave
We find the gaps they use by checking the house and, if needed, watching them come out at dusk.
One-way exits
We fit exits so the bats leave on their own and cannot come back in.
Seal the rest
Once they are gone we close every gap they could use.
Price and timing
What changes the price.
In early summer the young cannot fly yet, so the house cannot be sealed until they can. We tell you what the time of year allows.
- How big the colony is
- How many gaps need sealing
- How high the roof is
- The time of year
