BATS
Safe bat exclusion and housing solutions
Bats play an important role in the ecosystem—they pollinate flowers, disperse fruit seeds, and consume large numbers of insects each night.
Although they are beneficial, having bats in your home or business can cause guano, odours, noise, and property damage. That’s why we provide professional, humane bat exclusion services that protect both your property and the bats.
Bat exclusions are complex, specialist services. They must be carried out at the right time—exclusions are generally not done from October to February, the maternity season, as pups cannot leave the roof safely. Multiple surveys are needed to locate entry points, specialised equipment is required, and the process involves careful, step-by-step exclusion and closure. Because of the expertise, time, and resources involved, bat exclusions are not a low-cost service. Our in-house team delivers expert, fully compliant solutions tailored to your property.
Signs of a Bat Infestation
If you suspect that bats have taken residence in your building, there are several signs to confirm this:
- Bat droppings (they look similar to rodent droppings)
- Noises in the walls or attic during the day
- Seeing bats leave your building at dusk or fly into your building at dawn
- Bad odour in roof
Our Bat Solutions
Bat exclusions are a complex, specialist process that must be handled safely and in compliance with the law. At SMARTSENZ®, our approach ensures both your property and the bats are protected:
- Property Survey – We assess your building to identify all entry points and understand how bats are using the space.
- Bat Housing Installation – Bat boxes are installed to provide safe, alternative roosting sites.
- Controlled Exclusion – All entry points are sealed except for a single area, where a one-way valve allows bats to leave but prevents them from returning.
- Final Closure – After all bats have safely exited, we return to remove the last valve and permanently seal the final opening.
This careful, step-by-step process ensures a humane and effective solution for your property.
Our highly trained in-house professionals provide a safe, legal, and effective bat exclusion solution that protects both your property and the bats. Our careful, step-by-step approach ensures the bats’ role in the ecosystem is preserved while your building remains secure
