Bat Removal & Exclusion in Orlando & Central Florida
Protect Your Home While Respecting Protected Wildlife
Bats play an important role in Central Florida by eating mosquitoes and other insects, but when they roost in your attic, behind roof tiles, or in gable vents, they can create serious problems. Bat guano accumulations can damage materials and create odor and health concerns, and some bats may carry diseases if handled improperly.
Gato Lawn & Pest Control provides professional bat removal and exclusion in the Orlando area, focusing on legal, humane methods that protect both your home and the bats.

Where Bats Roost in Central Florida Homes
We commonly find bats:
- In attic peaks and behind fascia boards
- Behind Spanish or barrel roof tiles
- In gaps around chimney and roof intersections
- Inside unscreened or damaged gable vents
Bats often enter through small gaps and return to the same roost night after night, leading to accumulations of guano beneath their roosting sites.
Gato’s Bat Control Approach
Because bats are protected in many situations, bat work must be done correctly and at the right time of year.
1. Inspection and roost identification
Gato inspects exterior and attic areas to locate bat entry points, roosting areas, and the size of the colony.
2. Timed exclusion planning
We schedule bat exclusion work outside of restricted maternity periods and plan the process so young bats are not trapped inside structures.
3. One-way bat exclusion devices
Gato installs one-way devices at primary entry points. These allow bats to exit at night but prevent them from re-entering.
4. Sealing and screening
After bats have left, we seal entry gaps and screen vents and other vulnerable points to prevent future bat colonies from using the structure.
5. Cleanup guidance
We advise on safe cleanup of guano and contaminated materials and recommend appropriate remediation steps.
Why Professional Bat Removal Matters
Improper bat handling can:
- Violate wildlife regulations
- Trap bats inside walls or attics
- Increase health risks due to close contact or improper cleanup
Gato Lawn & Pest Control follows best practices for bat exclusion so the job is done safely and correctly.

Bat Control – FAQs
Does Gato Lawn & Pest Control remove bats from homes in Orlando?
Yes. Gato Lawn & Pest Control provides professional bat removal and exclusion in Orlando and Central Florida, using one-way devices and careful timing to allow bats to leave while preventing them from getting back into your home.
How can I tell if I have bats in my attic or roofline?
Signs of bats include rustling noises at dusk or dawn, droppings (guano) accumulating below roof peaks or vents, staining near small gaps the bats use as entry points, and occasional sightings of bats leaving the structure at dusk. Gato can inspect to confirm bat activity and locate roost sites.
How does Gato remove bats without harming them?
Gato Lawn & Pest Control uses one-way bat exclusion devices that allow bats to exit but block re-entry. After bats have left, we seal entry gaps and screen vents to prevent future colonies, all while following regulations and maternity season restrictions.
Are bats dangerous if they live in my attic?
Bats should not be handled directly, and accumulations of guano can create odor and health concerns. While bats are beneficial outdoors, they should not be roosting inside your home. Gato recommends professional exclusion to remove bats safely and properly.
Can Gato clean up bat guano after bats are removed?
Gato Lawn & Pest Control can advise on safe cleanup of bat guano and contaminated materials and may provide or coordinate remediation services depending on the situation. Proper protective equipment and disposal methods are important for safety.
Does Gato seal up my home to prevent bats from coming back?
Yes. After the exclusion process, Gato seals entry points and screens vulnerable areas such as vents and roof gaps. This helps prevent new bat colonies from moving into the same structure in the future.
