Case Study Overview
This bat removal project in Mohnton, PA shows how Evolved Wildlife Solutions handles bat removal in Berks County, PA for homeowners dealing with bats in the home, using expert bat exclusion instead of trapping or poisoning and adding bat house installation as a humane, wildlife-friendly alternative. Because bats are protected non-game animals in Pennsylvania, the goal was to safely exclude them from the structure, seal the access points, and reduce the chance of re-entry in line with Pennsylvania guidelines for managing bats in structures, a compliant wildlife control approach that protects the home while respecting local bat populations.
Case Study Details and Process
The homeowner contacted Evolved Wildlife Solutions after discovering bat activity around the home, including squeaking or fluttering sounds, a strong ammonia-like odor, and visible staining from droppings. As with most bat situation cases, the first step was determining where the bats were getting in and evaluating the structure for both primary and secondary access points, since bats can use openings as small as 6 mm during a thorough inspection focused on potential entry points and common entry points such as roof valleys where applicable.
​
Bat guano and bat droppings create health risks and health hazards, including histoplasmosis from disturbed feces and possible exposure to the rabies virus.
The exclusion process began during the winter, but the timing of the one-way devices was important. Because bats need appropriate nighttime temperatures to emerge safely, the humane bat removal plan used one way doors with a bat valve so the bats could leave and not re enter.
​
As part of the project, Evolved Wildlife Solutions recommended installing bat houses near the access points. While a bat house is not the fix for a bat problem, it can provide an alternative roosting site for homeowners who want to support local bat populations while keeping them out of the home. Bats also play an important role in the local ecosystem. This is a recommendation that is often discussed during attic inspections when it fits the property and the homeowner is open to the idea.​
The bat exclusion was successfully completed, the bats were removed from the home, and the access points were addressed to help prevent re-entry. The homeowner also had the added benefit of keeping the bats nearby in a more appropriate roosting location rather than inside the structure.
​
The project is a strong example of Evolved Wildlife Solutions’ humane approach to bat control: remove the bats safely, seal the home correctly, and, when the homeowner wants it, provide a bat house option that supports the animals without allowing them to remain inside the property.
