Bat Removal – Hot Springs, AR
Veteran-owned wildlife removal serving Hot Springs and the surrounding area. Licensed, professional, and done right the first time.
Bats in Hot Springs?
Hot Springs has a combination of older historic homes, lakefront cabins, and vacation properties — all common bat entry points. Properties on Lake Hamilton or Lake Ouachita frequently deal with bats in attic or crawlspace spaces, particularly in older construction. We serve the full Hot Springs area and schedule around the AGFC blackout period.
How Bat Exclusion Works
- Inspection — We identify active entry points, locate the colony, and assess the extent of the problem.
- Exclusion Installation — One-way exclusion devices are installed at all active entry points so bats can exit but cannot re-enter.
- Monitoring Period — We allow 7–14 days to confirm the colony has fully vacated the structure.
- Permanent Sealing — Once clear, we seal every entry point with professional-grade materials — for good.
- Written Estimate — You receive a clear estimate after the inspection, before any exclusion work begins.
Arkansas Bat Exclusion Blackout Period
Arkansas bat exclusion blackout: May 15–July 15. During this period, bat colonies are raising pups that cannot yet fly. Exclusion performed during this window is illegal under AGFC regulations and can result in bats dying inside your structure. Exclusion work can resume July 16.
Inspection fee: $200. That covers our time, travel, and a thorough property assessment. After the inspection, you get a clear written estimate before any work begins.
No scare tactics. No upsells you don't need. Just honest wildlife control.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is bat removal legal in Arkansas?
Yes — but only through exclusion, not trapping or killing. Most bat species are protected by state and federal law. One-way exclusion devices allow bats to leave but not re-enter. We are fully licensed and follow all AGFC regulations.
What is the bat exclusion blackout period in Arkansas?
May 15 through July 15. That’s when maternity colonies are raising pups too young to fly. Exclusion during this period is illegal and can trap bats inside your structure. We schedule work around the blackout — exclusion resumes July 16.
How much does bat removal cost?
We charge a $200 inspection fee. That covers travel, a full property assessment, and a written estimate. No hidden costs, no pressure to sign anything on the spot.
How long does bat exclusion take?
Typically 7–14 days from installation to final sealing — long enough to confirm the colony has vacated before we permanently close the entry points.
Do you guarantee your exclusion work?
Yes. We stand behind our sealing. If something isn’t right after we close up, we come back.
Can I just seal the gaps myself?
Sealing bats inside is illegal and creates a serious odor problem when they die in your walls. The correct method is one-way exclusion that lets them leave but blocks re-entry. We handle it the right way.
