Bat Removal & Exclusion in Indianapolis
Finding bats in your attic can be alarming, but the solution isn't as simple as trapping a bat and taking it away.
Nature-Nix Wildlife Removal provides professional bat removal and exclusion services in Indianapolis and surrounding communities. Our goal is to determine how bats are entering the structure, safely allow them to leave, and then prevent them from getting back inside.
Bat exclusion requires careful planning because simply sealing an active entry point can trap bats inside the structure.
Signs You May Have Bats
Some homeowners discover a bat problem after seeing a bat inside the living space. Others notice signs around the exterior or attic first.
Common signs include:
Bats flying around the house at dusk
Bats entering or leaving roofline openings
Bat guano in the attic
Dark staining around entry points
Unusual odors
Bats found inside the home
Small gaps around rooflines, vents, soffits, or other areas
A professional inspection can help identify the likely entry points.
Professional Bat Exclusion
Bat exclusion is designed to allow bats to leave the structure while preventing them from returning through the same opening.
Depending on the property, exclusion devices may be installed at active entry points while other potential openings are sealed.
The timing and method of exclusion are important. A proper exclusion plan considers the structure, bat activity, and the possibility of dependent young.
Sealing Bat Entry Points
Bats can use surprisingly small openings to access an attic.
Potential entry areas include:
Roof intersections
Soffits
Fascia
Roof vents
Gable vents
Chimney areas
Gaps around flashing
Other openings along the roofline
We inspect these areas and determine which openings need to be addressed.
Bat Guano Cleanup
Once bats have been using an attic, there may be accumulated guano and nesting debris.
Nature-Nix can evaluate the affected area and discuss attic cleanup and sanitation options.
Depending on the condition of the attic, cleanup may involve removal of guano, contaminated debris, and affected materials, followed by sanitation and deodorizing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I just seal the hole where bats are entering?
You should not simply seal an active bat entry point without understanding whether bats are still inside. Doing so can create additional problems. A professional exclusion plan helps determine the safest approach.
How much does bat exclusion cost?
Pricing depends on the size and design of the structure, number of entry points, accessibility, exclusion equipment, sealing work, and any attic cleanup required.
Do bats live in attics?
Yes. Attics can provide bats with a sheltered location to roost.
Does bat removal include guano cleanup?
Bat removal and attic cleanup are separate services, although Nature-Nix can evaluate the guano accumulation and provide cleanup options when appropriate.
