In Marlborough, CT, bat removal must be performed by a licensed Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator (NWCO). At RF Wildlife, we use humane exclusion methods and full structural sealing to permanently solve bat problems.

Because most bat species in Connecticut are protected, it is illegal to kill bats or use poisons or chemicals.

Professional bat removal focuses on:

• Full home inspection 
• Identifying all entry points (some as small as 3/8 inch) 
• Installing one-way exclusion devices 
• Sealing the structure to prevent re-entry 

This process allows bats to leave safely while ensuring they cannot return.

Homes in Marlborough commonly experience bat problems because of:

• Wooded surroundings and rural properties 
• Older homes, barns, and detached garages 
• Roofline gaps, soffits, and ridge vent openings 
• Quiet residential areas where colonies go unnoticed 
• Larger homes with complex rooflines and dormers 

The combination of tree cover, older construction, and rural property layouts makes Marlborough an ideal environment for bats to roost inside attics, wall voids, barns, and outbuildings.

Many infestations go unnoticed for long periods because bat colonies are quiet during the day and only become obvious once odors, droppings, or scratching sounds develop.

Bat removal is not trapping — it’s a structural exclusion and sealing process.

Every active and secondary entry point is identified — not just the obvious hole.

One-way devices allow bats to leave safely at night without returning.

All accessible gaps and structural vulnerabilities are permanently sealed.

Guano removal and attic sanitation when contamination is present.

Most failed bat jobs happen because:

• Only one visible hole was sealed 
• Secondary entry points were missed 
• Work was performed at the wrong time of year 
• The structure was never fully secured 

If even one gap remains open, bats will eventually return.

June 1 – Mid-August

August – Mid-October

Bat exclusion is not normally performed during winter hibernation.

During winter, bats remain dormant inside portions of the structure. If the home is sealed improperly during this time, it changes airflow and interior conditions.

Instead of exiting normally, bats may wake up and move deeper into the house searching for stable temperatures — sometimes entering living spaces.

Sealing a home during winter without understanding bat behavior usually makes the situation worse instead of solving it.

If a bat was found:

• In a room with a sleeping person 
• Near a child or pet 
• In a situation where contact cannot be ruled out 

Do NOT release it.

The bat should be safely captured and tested if rabies exposure is possible.

Marlborough residents should contact their local health department for guidance and testing instructions.

• Close interior doors 
• Open a window 
• Turn off lights 

The bat may leave on its own.

• Wear thick gloves 
• Wait for the bat to land 
• Cover it with a container 
• Slide cardboard underneath carefully 

• Inspection: FREE 
• Single Bat Removal: $225+ 
• Full Exclusion: $500 – $1,500+ 
• Large Homes: $1,500 – $8,000+ 
• Guano Cleanup: $500+ 

Bat removal pricing depends on:

• Number of entry points 
• Roofline complexity 
• Difficulty of access (steep roofs, high peaks, tight areas) 
• Equipment required (ladders, lifts, etc.) 
• Amount of guano contamination and insulation damage 

The biggest factor is usually not the number of bats — it’s how complex the structure is and how difficult it is to properly seal.

Bat exclusion is a structural repair.

Once a structure is sealed correctly, bats cannot re-enter.

That’s why our warranty stays with the property itself — not just the homeowner.

Squeaking, scratching, droppings, staining, and bats flying from the roofline at dusk are all common signs.

Outside maternity season and not during winter hibernation.

Most exclusions start around $500 depending on the structure.

If there’s any chance of human or pet contact, the bat should be captured and tested.
