TruNorth Pest Control | Bat Control in Alpharetta, GA
Bats are nocturnal mammals that often roost in attics or behind shutters. While beneficial for insect control, they can carry rabies and introduce harmful guano.
Why Bats Are a Problem in Alpharetta
Atlanta’s warm evenings and abundant insect populations attract bats to residential structures. Bat guano can damage insulation and harbor fungal spores.
TruNorth’s Bat Control Process
1. Inspection – We locate entry points, roosting sites, and guano accumulation.
2. Removal – We install one-way bat valves and allow safe exit without reentry.
3. Cleanup – Guano is carefully removed and contaminated insulation replaced.
4. Exclusion – Final sealing ensures bats cannot return.
