Bats Can Trigger Health Issues & Cause Structural Damage
Do you have bats in your attic or other areas of your home? If so, it’s time to evict them with the help of the bat removal experts at Catch-It Wildlife & Pest Control, Inc.
The Kansas City area is home to more than a dozen species of bats. Common bats in the region include Little Brown Bats (Myotis lucifugus), and Big Brown Bats (Eptesicus fuscus). These species are typically found near bodies of water, such as ponds and lakes, or roosting in trees. They often forage for insects at dusk or during the night, when they use echolocation to locate their prey.
As these bats are insectivorous, they play an important role in controlling pests around homes and businesses throughout Johnson County. However, when they take up residency in your home, bats create more problems than they solve.
Bats Carry Diseases
Although bats are beneficial to humans in many ways, they can also pose a health risk if proper precautions are not taken. Bats can carry diseases like rabies which is why it's important to be aware of the potential risks and take the necessary steps to protect yourself and your family. Additionally, bat guano (droppings) presents a serious health hazard as it can contain spores from fungal organisms that cause histoplasmosis, a potentially fatal respiratory infection.
Bats Cause Structural Damage
Bats can cause a lot of structural damage to homes and businesses if they are not removed properly. Bats also have sharp claws that they use to climb up surfaces like wood, stucco, or siding. This can leave behind obvious scratch marks as well as gouges in the material itself. In addition, bats often bring parasites into buildings with them such as bat bugs, which can spread quickly throughout an area.
All this damage makes it essential for homeowners to contact our experienced bat removal experts when dealing with a bat infestation on their property.

We had a bat in the house and contacted Catch-It to come out. They came out very quickly. They were not able to find the bat when they got there, nor tell us for sure how it got in, which is understandable. After doing an inspection of our roof, they told us that we most likely had a colony of 30-40 bats in our attic. They sealed up a spot on the roof where they believed they were getting in and attached an excluder tube to the other location. That stayed up for about 5 weeks and was then removed and the spot sealed up. We haven't had any more in the house. We did have a misunderstanding with the bill, but they made it right and we appreciated that. We would use them again.

I had been hearing a noise in the attic, only in the evenings. Went outside and noticed a lot of droppings on the concrete by our fireplace. Called Catch-it and spoke with the owner. He was able to determine what the droppings were from over the phone by having me put in a baggie and crumbling up. We had bats in our attic. They were getting in from a small hole under our soffit. We hired Catch-it and they came out very quickly and set up a system that allowed the bats to escape at night but they couldn't get back in. Solved our bat problem. They also sealed the entrance once all the bats were out. Would definitely hire them again if the need arises.

We had a bat in our home and Wade from Catch-It-Wildlife did a thorough inspection inside and out of our house to point out other areas a bat can possibly come in. He was very knowledgeable on bats and how to both avoid and protect ourselves. I definitely would recommend this company! They were very responsive and Wade’s knowledge is very impressive!

Bat removal. The service tech came in, unobtrusively analyzed the situation, and provided us with a quote. The service was delivered without fuss. Easy enough!

The company installed a mechanism to deter the bats from nesting. Over time the bats have been persistent. However, anytime I've called, the company has responded immediately with new attempts to completely remove the bats. These guys are the best, and I highly recommend them for any pest control needs.

We had a bat enter our home during hot weather. Catch-It Wildlife and Pest Control came out quickly and performed a thorough inspection of our home and attic space. They installed a device that allowed the bat to leave our attic but could not return. We have not had any more problems. I was most grateful for their speedy response and professionalism.

We discovered we had bats two days before leaving town for several days. I was able to capture the two that were flying in our basement but I needed to be sure there were no others. Leaving in two days added a lot of stress to the situation. Called Catch-it Wildlife. I had used them several years before for skunk removal. Steve came out the next day. Made sure the house was bat-proof and set up an exit for any that might have been left. The exit was such that once they left, they would not be able to return. It's been several months and we've seen no bats or signs of them since. Super response and great job done by Steve.

We had several bats removed from attic. They did a great job and we haven't had any recurring issues.

Catch-It assisted our family with some bats that were living between our tile roof and decking. They thoroughly searched the attic, built the required one-way opening, and came back to seal the roof when the season changed and the bats had exited.
