If you’ve noticed bats flying near your attic or droppings in corners, you’re not alone. Bats are common in Kalamazoo, and once they find a way in, they’re hard to get out. At Pest Pros of Michigan, our bat control services start with a bat inspection to find entry points and see how bad the problem is. From there, we put together a removal and prevention plan for your home.
Our goal isn’t only bat removal. It’s to keep bats out for good. That’s why our technicians also close up common entry points. This keeps bats from coming back and lets you rest easy knowing your home is protected long-term. If you’re dealing with bats in Kalamazoo, call us for an expert inspection and a solution that lasts.
When Bats Cause Problems, It’s More Than Creepy
Guano damage to insulation and walls
Bat droppings pile up fast and can ruin insulation, stain drywall, and leave a bad odor. If left untreated, cleanup becomes expensive.
Risk of disease exposure
While bats play an important role in the ecosystem, they’re also known carriers of diseases. Their droppings contain spores that can become airborne, making your indoor air unsafe.
Noises in the walls or attic
Scratching, squeaking, and fluttering sounds at night often point to a bat infestation. These noises are common around dusk or dawn.
Stains and smells
As bats squeeze into tight entry points, the oils from their bodies can leave dark smudges. Combined with the odor from guano and urine, it creates a strong, musty odor you can’t miss.
Look for These Signs of a Bat Infestation
Droppings around the attic or windowsills
Bat guano often collects below exit points. It’s small, dark, and looks like mouse droppings—but crumbles into dust.
Noises after sunset
Hearing chirping or scratching noises in your walls or attic after dark? That’s often a sign that bats are active and have nested somewhere inside your home.
Stains near rooflines
Dark, greasy marks near eaves, chimneys, or vents often signal a bat entry point. These marks are left by bats squeezing through the same gaps.
Sudden odor changes
A strong ammonia-like smell, especially in upper floors or attic spaces, may be due to urine and guano build-up. It’s a sign that bats have taken up residence.
Kalamazoo Bat Control FAQs
What time of year do bats enter homes in Kalamazoo?
Most bats enter homes in late summer or early fall. That’s when they begin seeking shelter for hibernation, often choosing attics and wall voids.
Can I remove bats from my attic myself?
We don’t recommend it. Bats are a protected species in Michigan, and improper removal can cause legal issues and health risks. Always contact a licensed bat exterminator.
How do you get rid of bats without harming them?
We use exclusion devices that allow bats to leave your home but prevent them from getting back in. Once all bats are out, we seal the entry points.
Do you offer a warranty on bat exclusion services?
Yes. Our bat exclusion services include a lifetime warranty on all exclusion work as long as your service plan is active. That means lasting protection you can count on.

Testimonials
“Jason came out to provide a termite estimate. Due to his confidence, knowledge, and professionalism I hired him on the spot. About an hour later he had us set up to begin exterminating our termites with monitoring stations. I went with Pest Pros not because they offered the lowest cost estimate, but because of Jason.”
