Frequently Asked Questions — Bat Removal in College Park

How much does bat removal cost in College Park? +
College Park bat jobs run $1,500-$4,000. Modest colony $1,500-$2,500. Multi-decade with full HEPA guano remediation $2,500-$4,000. Historic-home full restoration $4,000-$8,000+. Trapping bats is essentially banned in Georgia.
What do I do if a bat is inside my College Park home tonight? +
If bat in living space and any person/pet was in room while loose (especially while sleeping or with children) — CDC treats as potential rabies exposure. Capture (don't release) for testing. Confine to one room, call Fulton County Board of Health or physician within 24 hours.
When can bat exclusion be done in College Park? +
April or September through mid-October only. May-August is maternity season — exclusion traps non-flying pups.
Is bat guano in my College Park attic dangerous? +
Yes — supports growth of Histoplasma capsulatum (histoplasmosis when inhaled). Long-established Main Street Historic District colonies produce inches of accumulated guano. Professional HEPA-equipped decontamination required.
Why can't I do bat removal myself? +
Georgia DNR regulations restrict exclusion during May-August maternity season. All exclusion uses one-way valves, not trapping. Tricolored bat encounters carry federal-status concerns.
How much does bat removal cost in College Park, Georgia? +
Bat exclusion in Georgia 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. College Park properties with large, long-established colonies are at the higher end of this range.
Are there legal restrictions on bat removal in Georgia? +
Yes. Bats in Georgia are protected under state law administered by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. 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 College Park home dangerous? +
Yes. Bat guano supports the growth of Histoplasma capsulatum, a fungus that causes histoplasmosis — a serious respiratory illness documented in Georgia. 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 College Park — 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 Georgia. 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 Georgia Department of Natural Resources for guidance.
How do professionals remove bats in Georgia? +
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 Georgia colony is never harmed, and all work follows Georgia Department of Natural Resources guidelines.
