Bat Removal and Control for Homes and Businesses
Bats roost in attics, wall voids and chimneys and get in through small gaps along the roof line. Liberty handles bat removal through wildlife control, which starts with a free wildlife inspection and is offered in Paducah, Southern Illinois and Hopkinsville.
How to identify
- Small, furry, brown animals with thin, leathery wings.
- Big brown bats and little brown bats are the kinds most often found in buildings.
- They fly out at dusk and roost upside down during the day.
Common bats in our area
Big brown bat
Eptesicus fuscus
- Look for
- A fairly large brown bat, about twice the size of the little brown bat.
- Where you'll find it
- Often roosts in attics and walls, and can spend the winter inside buildings.
Little brown bat
Myotis lucifugus
- Look for
- A small brown bat weighing only about a third of an ounce.
- Where you'll find it
- Roosts in attics and other buildings during the warm months, and sometimes under boat docks.

How Liberty treats it
Free wildlife inspectionNot available in Bowling Green
Inspection
Wildlife Control starts with a free wildlife inspection. A local Service Advisor does a thorough inspection to see how bad the problem is, how bats are getting in, like small gaps along roof lines, gable vents and chimneys, and what draws them, like warm, quiet attics and wall voids. Bats are protected by state wildlife law, so all of our bat work follows state wildlife rules.
Treatment
- Remove the batsWe work to get the bats out of your attic or walls, based on where they roost and how they get in.
- Seal entry pointsOnce the bats are out, we seal the gaps they used, like openings along roof lines, gable vents, chimneys and loose flashing.
- Cleanup adviceWe point out droppings and stains left behind and explain what cleanup is needed.
Follow-up
After sealing, we come back to check for new activity and check that the sealed gaps are holding.

- Caulk cracks near the roofline and around pipes and wires, and weatherstrip gaps around doors and windows.
- Cover open vents and louvers with 1/4-inch hardware cloth so air can still flow.
- Put a screen or cap on the chimney.
- Put up a bat house 10 to 15 feet off the ground to give bats another place to roost.
- Don't seal any openings while bats are still inside; call a wildlife professional instead.
Common questions
Are bats covered by my plan?
No. Bats aren't part of our pest control plans. Wildlife Control starts with a free wildlife inspection.
How do bats get into an attic?
Bats can fit through very small gaps, like openings along roof lines, gable vents, chimneys and loose flashing.
How do I know if I have bats in my attic?
Watch for bats flying out of the roof line, vents or chimney at dusk. Droppings piling up below an opening, greasy stains around small gaps and squeaking or scratching sounds are other signs.
What do bat droppings look like?
Bat droppings, called guano, are small, dark pellets that pile up under a roost. Unlike mouse droppings, they crumble when crushed.
Can bats chew through walls?
No. Bats can't chew new openings, so they use gaps that are already there, like loose flashing, gable vents and spaces along the roof line.
