Bat Exclusion in Slidell — FAQ
Is it legal to remove bats in Slidell?+
Yes, but bats are protected during Louisiana's maternity season (May–August). Exclusion must use one-way devices — never lethal methods. We follow Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries guidelines on every Slidell job.
How do you get bats out of a Slidell attic?+
One-way exclusion valves are installed at active entry points. The colony leaves to feed over 3–7 days but can't re-enter. Once bat-free, we seal every entry with metal cloth and polyurethane sealant.
Do you clean up bat guano?+
Yes. Established colonies leave guano that stains ceilings and can carry histoplasmosis spores. We remove it, sanitize, and replace contaminated insulation.
Do you serve all of eastern St. Tammany?+
Yes — Slidell, Pearl River, Lacombe, and out to the Mississippi state line.
