Frequently Asked Questions — Texas Bat Removal

How much does bat removal cost in Texas?

Is bat removal legal in Texas?

Yes — but bats cannot be killed or trapped. They must be excluded humanely using one-way devices. Texas law also restricts exclusion during maternity season (typically April–July) when flightless pups are present. Our licensed team handles all work in full compliance with Texas Parks & Wildlife regulations.

When is the best time to remove bats in Texas?

The best time for bat exclusion is August 1 through April 1. We can inspect year-round and schedule exclusion at the optimal legal window for your area.

What diseases can bats carry?

Bats can carry rabies and their droppings (guano) harbor Histoplasma capsulatum, a fungus that causes histoplasmosis — a serious respiratory illness. Never handle bats. Call a professional immediately.

Do you offer a warranty on bat removal?

Yes. We offer a written warranty up to a lifetime guarantee on all exclusion work. If bats return through any point we sealed, we come back at no charge.

How long does bat exclusion take?

Most jobs take 1–3 days on-site. One-way exclusion devices stay in place 3–7 days to allow all bats to exit. After that, all entry points are permanently sealed.
