Have I learned a lot about bats this last couple of weeks! First, you cannot do anything to harm or capture bats is they are a Federally protected critter, which makes sense as they control our mosquito population. You do want to make sure that you keep bats out of your attic, and prevent them from taking up residence in any of the multiple nooks and crannies that surround your house.
I called a number of companies in the area and came to find out that only certified companies are permitted to address bat issues in your house (just because they are a bug control company does not mean that they can handle bats). Further, I found out that a number of the certified companies require an upfront fee just to come out and do an inspection.
The CP Bat Mitigation office rep who arranged for my service over the phone was exceptionally pleasant, knowledgeable, and efficient in scheduling an appointment at my convenience.
The representative who came out to the house, who also happens to be the regional manager, was on time, courteous, and thorough explaining bat behavior and options before proceeding.
CP Bat Mitigation is certified and permitted to do bat mitigation work and they do not charge anything for the initial house inspection. Their inspection process was extensive and included detailed photographs of what they found on my roof that verified I had potential problem.
The final digital report, with photos, came along with a detailed estimate and it was my choice to move forward. CP Bat Mitigation can do bat elimination along with roof crevice and vent closures. Luckily, they did not find any trace of bats in my attic (insert obvious jokes here), and the work was limited only to the closure work.
I was able to follow up fairly quickly with an appointment to have my concerns addressed. All appointments were confirmed via email and the service was wonderful, offers a 10 year warranty against bats in the attic, and eliminated a worry of bats living so close to a Lake. I highly recommend CP Bat Mitigation for all of your bat elimination and prevention needs. read more
