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.

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)
