How We Price (We Don’t Do Scare Tactics)

  • Evidence first: You’ll see photo proof of every finding.

  • Options, not pressure: We always offer good, better, and best plans.

  • Humane by design: Exclusions are done under state-approved timing for bat welfare.

  • No surprises: We explain what’s needed and what it costs up front — so there are no hidden fees or guesswork later.

Bat Removal, Exclusion & Prevention — How Pricing Works.

Bats play a vital role in Virginia’s ecosystem, but when they roost in attics, walls, or chimneys, they can cause serious noise, odor, and contamination issues. Because every colony, structure, and season is different, we can only give ballpark ranges until we’ve performed a proper inspection.

Below is how we approach bat work — what affects cost, what most customers spend, and why humane timing and compliance are so important.

  • 1) Small attic roost (few bats)

    • Inspection $75

    • Stabilization $0

    • Exclusion $525

      Estimated total: ~$600 (includes 3-year guarantee)

    2) Moderate colony, multiple gaps

    • Inspection $75

    • Stabilization $0

    • Full exclusion $1,125
      Estimated total: ~$1200 (includes 3-year guarantee)

    3) Full attic roost / large home prevention

    • Inspection $75

    • Full exclusion $1,925

    • Chimney cap $450
      Estimated total: ~$2,450 (includes 3-year guarantee)

    4) Complex or historic structure (metal or steep roof)

    • Inspection $75

    • Full exclusion $3,000

    • Ridge vent screening (40 ft @ $15/ft) $600
      Estimated total: ~$3,675

    These are examples, not quotes. Every home is unique, and your written estimate is based on real conditions found during inspection.

    • Number of entry points and colony size

    • Roof height, slope, and material (metal roofs are more difficult to seal)

    • Accessibility (attic condition, crawlspace access, steep elevations)

    • Season (timing around maternity restrictions)

    • Prior “patchwork” or failed exclusions needing correction

    • Your goal (control vs. long-term prevention)

    • Inspection: $75 (photos, plan, and compliance guidance)

    • Stabilization: $250–$450 (rarely needed)

    • Full exclusion: typical $600–$1,500; $3,000–$6,000+ complex

    • Cleanup: $250–$1,200

    • Common add-ons: chimney caps, ridge/gable vent guards, sanitation

    No scare tactics. No guesswork. Just clear, compliant, and humane bat work — backed by our 3-year guarantee.

  • Standard inspection (within our service area): $75

    What you get:

    • A full exterior and attic evaluation (roof-line, ridge vents, soffits, gable ends, chimneys)

    • Identification of roosting points, colony size, and species (important for legality and timing)

    • Photos and videos of any evidence or guano accumulation

    • A clear action plan outlining stabilization, full exclusion, and cleanup options

    Why we start here:
    Bat removal is among the most regulated and timing-sensitive wildlife services in Virginia. Maternity season limits when exclusion can occur, and successful removal depends on locating every entry point — even ones smaller than ½ inch. A proper inspection prevents wasted time, re-entry, or trapped bats.

  • Typically we can figure all this out in the inspection and dont need this step.

    Ballpark: $250–$450

    When bats are still entering or exiting nightly, we first stabilize the site:

    • Install motion or camera monitoring to confirm entry and exit points

    • Temporarily patch secondary gaps to narrow down flight paths

    • Prepare for one-way valve installation during the legal exclusion window

    Note: During maternity season (typically mid-May through mid-August), exclusion work is postponed until pups can fly. Stabilization keeps the problem manageable and documented without harming wildlife.

  • Typical homes: $600–$1,500
    Complex/large/historic or metal roofs: $3,000–$6,000+

    What it includes:

    • Installation of one-way bat valves at verified exit points

    • Sealing of all gaps ≥ 3/8” using wildlife-rated sealant and metal mesh

    • Seasonal compliance with Virginia Department of Wildlife guidelines

    Why people choose this:
    Bats remember safe roosts and will test your home again the following year. A full exclusion ensures complete sealing and prevents repeat infestations.

    Guarantee:
    All full-home bat exclusions includes our 3-year guarantee. If bats re-enter through our work during the covered term, we’ll return and fix it at no cost.

  • These are priced only if relevant to your situation:

    • Gable vent guards — $150–$350 each

    • Ridge vent screening — $12–$20 per linear foot installed

    • Wildlife-resistant gutter guards: $18–$28 / ft (typical $500–$1,200)

      Seals hidden entry seams along gutter lines while maintaining airflow.

    • Chimney cap (stainless steel) — $350–$650 installed

    • Soffit/fascia repair — $200–$800 per section

    • Spot sanitation — $250–$650

    • Full attic restoration — $3–$7 per sq. ft. (only when contamination is heavy)

    We only recommend add-ons that are truly necessary for prevention or safety. No upsells, just practical long-term protection.
