Legal, Efficient Bat Removal That Keeps Bats—and You—Safe

Bats are a vital part of Florida’s ecosystem, but when they roost in attics, walls, or rooflines, they can create serious health hazards and structural damage. Worse, Florida law strictly protects bats, meaning improper removal can lead to legal penalties.


At Wildlife Works, we offer licensed, seasonal-compliant bat removal in Central Florida, including full inspection, one-way exclusions, and sealing of all future entry points.

Common Bat Issues We Handle

Bats often enter homes and buildings through small cracks or gaps as narrow as 3/8 inch. We routinely address:

  • Bat colonies roosting in attics or soffits
  • Guano (bat droppings) accumulation that damages insulation or causes respiratory risks
  • Strong ammonia-like odors from urine buildup
  • Scratching or chirping sounds in walls or ceilings at night
  • Visible bat flight patterns at dusk, often around vents or rooflines
  • Pre-maternity season activity, when removal windows are limited by law

Florida prohibits bat exclusion from April 15 to August 15—so planning around the maternity season is essential.

Our Bat Removal Services Include:

  • Detailed attic and exterior inspection to confirm activity
  • Legal exclusion timing to avoid breaking state protections
  • Installation of one-way bat valves that let bats exit but not re-enter
  • Sealing of all entry points after colony exit
  • Cleanup of guano and scent markings to prevent re-infestation
  • Documentation for insurance or property records
  • Follow-up visits to confirm colony removal and structure security


We use no poisons, traps, or lethal methods, ensuring both human and bat safety.

Florida Bat Laws and Your Liability

All bat species in Florida are protected. That means:

  • You cannot kill bats or block their exit while they are inside
  • You cannot remove bats during the maternity season (April 15 – August 15)
  • You must use licensed professionals with knowledge of one-way exclusion and state regulations


Improper action—even unintentional—can lead to fines or legal repercussions.
