When bats take up residence in your home or commercial property, it’s more than just an unwelcome surprise—it can pose serious health risks and structural concerns. In Minnesota, bats are a protected species, making their safe and legal removal all the more important. Badger Wildlife Management, based in Zimmerman, MN, specializes in humane and professional bat removal services across the state, ensuring that both your property and the local bat population are treated with the care they deserve.
Why Bat Removal Is Essential
Bats can carry diseases such as rabies and histoplasmosis, and their guano (droppings) can corrode building materials and create unsanitary conditions. Left unchecked, an infestation can grow quickly, leading to escalating repair costs and health hazards for occupants. Professional bat removal addresses these risks head-on, restoring safety and comfort to your home or business.
Our Bat Removal Process
1. Comprehensive Inspection
Our technicians begin with a detailed assessment of your property to locate all entry and exit points, identify active roosts, and evaluate the extent of guano buildup. This critical first step informs a customized removal plan tailored to your specific situation.
2. Humane Exclusion
Minnesota law prohibits harming bats during maternity season (typically mid-May through late August) and mandates exclusion rather than lethal methods. We install one-way exit devices that allow bats to leave but prevent re-entry, all timed to comply with post-maternity regulations (late August through September).
3. Cleanup and Damage Repair
After exclusion, our team removes guano and contaminated insulation, sanitizes affected areas, and performs necessary structural repairs—such as replacing damaged soffits or sealing roof vents—to restore your property to a healthy, functional state.
Bat Prevention and Long-Term Protection
Removing bats is only half the solution. To keep them from returning, we seal cracks, gaps, and other potential entry points with industry-grade materials. Our prevention services include installing durable exclusion barriers and performing seasonal inspections to ensure your property remains bat-free year-round.
