What is included

Every commercial bats job, the same standard

No upsells, no surprise fees. Every exclusion runs to the same scope.

Commercial inspection

We survey the full structure, inside and out: roofline, parapets, expansion joints, rooftop units, soffits, and loading areas. You get a map of active entry points, an estimate of colony size, and a measured read on guano accumulation. Inspection is legal year-round, including during the maternity blackout.

Exclusion on the legal calendar

One-way devices go up at every active entry point between August 15 and April 15, the window Florida law allows. The FWC requires devices to stay up at least four nights, installed when overnight lows are forecast at 50 degrees or above, and on a large building we monitor until the colony is confirmed out.

Guano remediation

Accumulated guano can harbor the fungus that causes histoplasmosis, so we contain the area, suppress dust, remove the material under controlled conditions, and decontaminate surfaces, scheduled around your operating hours.

Documentation and prevention

Every job produces a written record: inspection report, scope of work, methods used, and warranty terms, the paperwork owners, insurers, and tenants ask for. Permanent sealing and optional maintenance inspections keep the next colony out.

How a commercial bat removal job runs

What to expect

A bat colony in a commercial building is a liability and a health exposure, not just a nuisance. Florida Wildlife Specialists provides commercial-scale bat work across Florida's major metros: a documented inspection of the full building envelope, one-way exclusion scheduled inside the legal window, guano remediation under containment, and permanent sealing with commercial-grade materials. Bats are protected under Florida law, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission sets a statutory maternity season from April 16 through August 14 when exclusion is prohibited, so we build the plan around that calendar and keep your operations running while we do it.

FAQ

Common questions about commercial bat removal

Do we have to close the building during bat removal?

Usually no. Exclusion happens at the roost entry points on the building exterior, so the business stays open while the work runs. Guano remediation inside occupied space is contained, ventilated, and scheduled around your hours, often evenings or weekends.

Is bat guano in a workplace an OSHA or health issue?

It can be. Accumulated guano can harbor Histoplasma capsulatum, the fungus that causes histoplasmosis, and the CDC and NIOSH publish workplace guidance for occupational exposure to bat droppings. Professional remediation with proper containment and respiratory protection is the documented way to handle it.

Can a business remove bats during Florida's maternity season?

No. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission sets bat maternity season at April 16 through August 14, and excluding bats during that window is prohibited under Florida Administrative Code rules 68A-4.001 and 68A-9.010. Legal exclusion runs August 15 through April 15. During the closed season we inspect, assess guano, write the remediation plan, and book the exclusion for the first legal day.

What documentation do we get for insurance or tenants?

A written inspection report, a scope of work, the exclusion and remediation methods used, before-and-after documentation, and the warranty terms. Property managers use this for insurance claims, tenant communication, and compliance records.
