Bat Removal in Howey In The Hills, Florida — Local Context

Brazilian free-tailed bats are the dominant species in structures across much of the Southeast, forming large maternity colonies in attics and under eaves. Florida has one of the highest bat colony densities in the country. In most Southeastern states, the maternity protection window runs from April 15 through August 15, during which exclusion work is prohibited under state wildlife regulations.

All wildlife removal in Florida is regulated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Our Howey In The Hills contractor is fully licensed under the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and uses only permitted, humane removal methods.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bat Removal in Howey In The Hills

How much does bat removal cost in Howey In The Hills, Florida? +
Bat exclusion in Florida typically costs $400–$1,500+ for the exclusion work itself. Guano cleanup and attic decontamination — required to eliminate the health risk from Histoplasma-contaminated material — adds $1,500–$8,000+ or more depending on colony size. Howey In The Hills properties with large, long-established colonies are at the higher end of this range.
Are there legal restrictions on bat removal in Florida? +
Yes. Bats in Florida are protected under state law administered by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Bat exclusion is prohibited during the maternity season — typically May through August — when nursing pups cannot fly. Performing exclusion during this period is illegal and traps pups inside, causing a serious decomposition problem. Contact us now to get on the schedule for the legal exclusion window.
Is bat guano in my Howey In The Hills home dangerous? +
Yes. Bat guano supports the growth of Histoplasma capsulatum, a fungus that causes histoplasmosis — a serious respiratory illness documented in Florida. Disturbing dry guano releases spores into your home's air. Do not sweep, vacuum, or disturb bat droppings. Professional cleanup with respiratory protection and proper disposal is required.
I found one bat inside my house in Howey In The Hills — do I have a colony? +
A single bat inside living space usually entered from an attic or wall void where a larger colony roosts. This is one of the most common bat calls across Florida. A professional inspection can determine whether you have a colony above the ceiling. Any bat that may have had contact with a sleeping person should be tested for rabies — contact Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for guidance.
How do professionals remove bats in Florida? +
Bats are not trapped — they are excluded. One-way exclusion devices are installed over every entry point so bats can exit but not re-enter. After all bats have departed — typically 3–7 nights — the devices are removed and all gaps are permanently sealed. The Florida colony is never harmed, and all work follows Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission guidelines.
