Although we cannot guarantee to locate the bat (if it went back in a wall void/etc), we make recommendations about temporarily sealing the interior areas so it hopefully won’t happen again, and until we can provide an exterior bat exclusion quote for our client.
If the bat cannot be located- contact your healthcare provider regarding the next proper steps to take concerning rabies and similar issues. We cannot provide clients or the public with recommendations about rabies shots.
If you as the property owner decide to capture the bat yourself, we recommend you educate yourself on the proper ways to capture a bat, and submit it for testing if applicable . Bat conservation international, and CDC websites have some informative information on their sites about this.

Typically the higher off the ground, the higher the price. Second is the pitch of the roof, Substrates, the components of the building materials (what it’s made of ). Third is landscaping, if you have trees, bushes, plants, flowers, or if your landscaping is hilly; if there are fences to deal with for lifts and ladders to get around/ etc. All these are factors for the safety of our technicians and their ability to access the exclusion areas.
