Our Approach to Bat Control and Removal in Concord
When you call us for bat control, we don't just show up and set traps. Our process is a comprehensive strategy designed for long-term success and humane removal. It all begins with a thorough inspection of your property. Our trained technicians will identify the bat species, locate the primary entry and exit points, and assess the extent of the colony. This inspection is the most critical step for effective bat removal in Concord, as it dictates the entire exclusion plan.
- Professional inspection: We assess your property to identify where bats enter, locate active roost sites, and evaluate the factors that make your structure attractive to bats.
- Humane exclusion: Our team uses one-way exclusion devices and industry-standard practices to encourage bats to leave, while ensuring they cannot return.
- Detailed recommendations: We offer clear steps to secure the property, such as sealing gaps or screening vents, so bats don’t come back after exclusion.
- Cleanup and sanitation: We advise on how to address areas affected by droppings or nesting debris, which supports healthy, safe conditions for everyone using the property.
- Ongoing monitoring: With fluctuating bat populations each year in Concord, we help you detect early activity and provide follow-up visits when warranted for your peace of mind.
After we have confirmed all bats have exited the structure—a process that can take several days depending on the colony and weather—we begin the final step. We remove the exclusion devices and permanently seal all identified entry points. This bat proofing is what truly solves the problem and protects your home from future infestations. We also have the expertise to advise on the cleanup of any accumulated guano (bat droppings), which can pose health risks.

Bat-Proofing Your Home: The Importance of Professional Exclusion
Simply getting bats out of your attic is only half the battle. If the entry points remain, new bats—or even the same colony—will eventually find their way back in. This is why professional bat exclusion services in Concord NC are the most important part of any long-term bat control plan. Bat proofing is the physical act of sealing your home against re-entry.
Our exclusion process is meticulous. After the bats have left, our technicians go over your home from top to bottom. We use high-quality, durable materials to seal every crack, gap, and hole that bats could use. This includes:

This is not a job for standard handyman caulk. We use materials that are chew-proof and weather-resistant to ensure the seals hold. Attempting this yourself can be dangerous (working at heights) and often ineffective, as it's easy to miss a tiny opening. Trusting a professional for your bat proofing ensures the job is done right the first time, protecting your investment.
Signs You Might Be Sharing Your Concord Home with Bats
Bats are nocturnal and very quiet, so an infestation can go unnoticed for a long time. However, as a colony grows, the signs become more obvious. If you suspect you have bats, be on the lookout for a few key indicators. The most common sign is often auditory—you may hear light scratching, squeaking, or fluttering sounds in your walls or ceiling, especially around dusk or dawn.
Beyond sounds, there are physical signs to watch for. Be aware of:
- Guano (Droppings): Finding piles of bat droppings in one area is a sure sign. You might see them in your attic, on your insulation, or on the ground or roof near an entry point. Guano looks like small, dark pellets that crumble easily.
- Stains: Bats' body oils and urine can create dark, greasy stains on the siding or trim around their entry and exit holes.
- Odor: A large, established colony will produce a strong, unpleasant ammonia-like smell from the accumulation of guano and urine.
- Sightings: Seeing bats flying out of a specific spot on your home at dusk is the most definitive sign of all.

Bat Challenges Unique to Concord & Surrounding Areas
Many residents find bats in attics, barns, or older structures, particularly during the spring and late summer. The state restricts exclusion between May 1 and July 31 each year to protect flightless young bats, so timing your bat control strategy with advice from local professionals is key. Our team’s deep understanding of these seasonal cycles and legal guidelines ensures you choose the right option without unnecessary delay or risk.
Neighborhoods close to greenways, streams like the Rocky River and Coddle Creek, and older sections of the city often see elevated bat activity. We incorporate this local insight into every service recommendation, giving residents practical tools and timelines for prevention and maintenance. Whether you’re protecting a single-family home, a rental, or a historic commercial site, our bat removal team delivers solutions designed around Concord’s unique environment as well as your structure’s features. From the first assessment through every follow-up visit, you remain informed and empowered to keep wildlife out for the long term.
