Bats entering through a roofline gap require a specific, legally timed exclusion process, since many species are protected during certain months of the year. Ivanhoe wildlife calls spike seasonally as animals seek denning sites for winter or safe spaces to raise spring litters, which shapes how urgently we schedule each case.
We trace scratching, droppings, and damage back to the actual entry gap before recommending trapping or exclusion.


Every technician handling Ivanhoe wildlife calls carries state wildlife control licensing and liability coverage.
We keep same-day slots open for active wildlife situations, especially where an animal may be trapped inside a structure.
Pricing covers trapping, exclusion, and entry-point repair as one flat quote — not billed separately per step.
Our exclusion materials include heavy-gauge hardware cloth and sealant rated for permanent structural gaps.
Raccoons often den in attics and chimneys to raise young, so removal timing accounts for dependent litters before exclusion begins.
Squirrels typically enter through roofline gaps and soffit damage, which we identify and seal after removal.
We seal deck and crawl space gaps after removal to prevent repeat denning by opossums or other wildlife.
Bat exclusion follows strict seasonal timing to avoid trapping flightless young inside, in line with state wildlife regulations.
After removal, we can address chewed wiring, damaged insulation, and entry-point structural repair.
Commercial wildlife accounts include recurring exterior checks for new entry points across a property portfolio.

Call +1-866-315-0243 and describe the sounds or damage you're noticing — timing and location help us identify the species before arrival.
A technician arrives with humane traps and exclusion materials suited to the suspected species.
Inspection includes checking for dependent young before finalizing a removal and exclusion timeline.
Humane removal and one-way exclusion go in the same visit where possible, with entry points sealed for good.
The one-way door approach meant we didn't have to worry about the squirrel getting back in after it left to forage.
Appreciated that they explained the regulations around bat removal instead of just doing whatever was fastest.
Having documented reports for each building helped us track which units needed exclusion repairs.
Squirrels had chewed through soffit venting on two sides of the roof before we noticed, and the exclusion repair matched the original material well.

Timing matters too: bats are typically heard at dusk when they leave to feed, unlike raccoons which are active at night generally.
No — without sealing the entry point, another animal typically moves in within weeks, so exclusion is part of every job.
No — many bat species are protected during certain months to avoid separating flightless young from the colony, so timing follows state regulations.
Humane methods are standard for all wildlife removal, in line with state wildlife handling regulations.
Timing is adjusted to avoid trapping young inside once the parent is excluded.
Repair work covers soffit, vents, and insulation affected by nesting, available as part of the exclusion service.
