Bat Removal
Bat Removal in South Florida
Legal, humane bat exclusion from attics — timed to Florida law.
Bats roosting in an attic or wall are a serious problem — the guano they leave behind is corrosive, odorous and a genuine health concern — but they're also protected in Florida, and removing them the wrong way (or at the wrong time of year) is illegal. Florida Wildlife Pros performs humane, legal bat exclusion across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach, timed and done to the letter of state law.
Warning Signs
Signs You Need Bat Removal
If any of the following sound familiar, it's time to call in a professional:
- Bats flying out from the roofline, soffit or gable at dusk
- Black or brown guano accumulating below an entry point or in the attic
- A strong ammonia-like odor from the attic or walls
- Staining or grease marks around a gap in the roofline or fascia
- Scratching or squeaking sounds in the attic at dawn and dusk
Every native bat species in Florida is protected, and there is a legally-defined maternity season (roughly mid-April through mid-August) during which bats cannot be excluded, because doing so would trap flightless pups inside to die. This is why bat work must be handled by a professional who knows the law — improper exclusion is both illegal and a guarantee that you'll end up with dead bats and worse odor inside your walls.
Our process is exclusion, not extermination: we inspect to find every gap the colony is using, install one-way devices that let bats leave but not return, and then — once the structure is confirmed empty — permanently seal the openings. Done correctly, the colony relocates on its own and cannot get back in.
The last step is remediation. Bat guano accumulates fast, is corrosive, and can harbor fungal spores, so we clean and decontaminate the roost area and repair the damage. For property managers and commercial buildings, we handle the entire compliant process start to finish so there's no legal exposure.
Florida note: Bats are protected in Florida and cannot legally be excluded during maternity season (mid-April to mid-August). Never seal a bat entry yourself — timing and method are regulated. We handle it legally.

On-Site Inspection

Cleanup & Prevention
We clean up, decontaminate and seal entry points so the problem is solved for good — not just for now.
Why Bat Removal Isn't a DIY Job
It's tempting to try to handle a wildlife problem yourself, but bat removal done wrong usually makes things worse — and in South Florida it can be genuinely dangerous or even illegal. The animal you're dealing with behaves in specific ways: where it dens and travels, what draws it in, and how it reacts when cornered. Get that wrong and you risk injury, an animal trapped and dying inside your walls, orphaned young, contamination, or a citation for mishandling a regulated species. Decades of hands-on South Florida experience is exactly what turns a risky guessing game into a fast, clean, permanent fix.

What Our Customers Say
"Called about a gator in our community lake and they were out same day. Professional, calm and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. Our HOA now has them on call."
"Iguanas were destroying our seawall and landscaping. They trapped dozens and set us up on a program — the difference is night and day. Highly recommend."
"Had raccoons in the attic with babies. They removed them humanely, cleaned everything up and sealed the roof so they can't get back. Worth every penny."
FAQ
Bat Removal — Frequently Asked Questions
Can you remove bats right now?
It depends on the time of year. Florida law prohibits bat exclusion during maternity season (mid-April to mid-August) to protect flightless pups. Outside that window we can exclude; during it, we plan and prepare. Call 561-940-1895 and we'll advise.
Is bat guano dangerous?
It can be. Accumulated guano is corrosive, smells strongly, and can harbor fungal spores. We clean and decontaminate the roost area as part of proper bat work.
How do you get bats out without harming them?
We use one-way exclusion devices that let bats fly out to feed but block re-entry, then seal the structure once it's confirmed empty. The colony relocates naturally — it's humane and legal.
Why can't I just seal the hole myself?
Because you'll almost certainly trap bats — often pups — inside, which is illegal and creates a far worse odor and cleanup problem. Bat exclusion is regulated and should be done by a professional.
