Alpharetta Bat Removal & Exclusion Service
Bats Prefer The Attic in Alpharetta
Alpharetta attics are an ideal home to bats. It’s a dry, warm shelter that keeps them protected from predators. Bats can be beneficial in keeping insect populations down but they leave behind a nasty mess that can affect the health of your family.

Alpharetta Bat Exclusion Process
Performing a bat exclusion on a Alpharetta home or building is not a simple, standard process. Each structure is unique, requiring different methods and ladder work. It takes a skilled technician with a trained eye to find all of the uncommon holes. At A & A, we have the experience and know-how to do the job right, guaranteed. Unlike many other companies, we use quality materials such as tough wire screening, thick sheet metal and other products that will last the life of your Alpharetta home or business.
Alpharetta Bat Removal Phase 1 – Sealing the Home
A Full Exclusion resolves your bat problem and other nuisance wildlife. It’s pretty common to see more than one type of critter living in a home. A full exclusion seals entry points for bats, rats, squirrels, raccoons and more. So whether there’s a current infestation or your attic is simply an open door waiting for one, we seal it up. We install the same one-way door for the bats as a partial exclusion and set traps as appropriate to address any other critters. To learn more about our Full Exclusion process, please see our Wildlife Services page.
This option only addresses bats. We seal their entries and install a one-way door they can fly out of but not re-enter. Once all the bats have left the roost, we clean up their droppings.
A Partial Bat Exclusion does not address rodents or other wildlife present. Alpharetta homes can have different types nuisance critters at once.
Alpharetta Bat Removal Phase 2 – Bat Eviction & Wildlife Trapping
We wait for all of the bats to exit through the one-way door. If there are rats or other types of wildlife to be eliminated, we set traps. We return as needed to remove wildlife and re-set the traps until they are completely eliminated.
Alpharetta Bat Removal Phase 3 – Clean-up and Restoration
Once bats or other wildlife have left or been removed from your home it is time to start the cleaning and restoration process.
With bats, it is VERY important to clean up the droppings. Fungus can grow on guano, releasing spores into the air that cause histoplasmosis, a disease that affects the respiratory system.
If you decide to sell your Alpharetta home, most home inspectors will find and report rodent or bat evidence to the potential buyers or agency.
The first step is to remove as much of the feces as possible, then finish with disinfectant. We use a HEPA vacuum to prevent dust circulation. Our hospital-grade disinfectant is completely safe and has a very light, fresh scent. A fogger disperses it into the infested area, killing all bacteria, germs and viral pathogens. Other evidence such as tunnels and trails in the insulation will also be smoothed out to benefit future inspections.
Our Disinfectant Sanitizer Virucide kills harmful germs, bacteria, fungi and viruses. It disinfects hepatitis, hantavirus, avian flu, HIV and more. It also prevents and eliminates mildew.
Large infestations can severely damage an attic, crawl space or other area of your home or business. Restoration may be necessary depending on the level of damage caused by wildlife and pests that have entered your home. We offer restorative services such as the removal and replacement of damaged or contaminated insulation, vapor barriers, and wood surfaces where disinfectants, sanitization products and sealants are not an option.

Ask the Owner
Does homeowners insurance cover the removal of bats?
Alpharetta homeowners insurance typically does not cover the removal of bats or the exclusion process, but some policies do cover the decontamination and/or attic restoration process. Each policy is different, so we encourage you to discuss this with your agent. We have worked with Alpharetta customers on getting this covered by their insurance.
The fact that many insurance companies cover decontamination and attic restoration due to bat guano speaks volumes of the hazards related to guano. Bats are a serious issue.
