Bats are a vital part of the ecosystem, known for controlling mosquito populations and other insects. However, when they start roosting inside homes—in attics, walls, or chimneys—they quickly go from helpful to hazardous. Their droppings (guano) can carry harmful spores, and their constant presence creates noise, unpleasant odors, and the potential for disease transmission. If bats have found their way into your home, Critter Stop’s Pflugerville bat removal services offer a safe, humane, and long-term solution tailored to your property.
We specialize in bat exclusion, thorough cleanup of guano and waste, and prevention strategies that ensure your home stays bat-free for the future.
While bats don’t typically attack humans, their presence inside your home is far from harmless. A single bat might not seem like a threat, but colonies can quickly grow, bringing serious consequences:
✔ Health Risks – Bat droppings contain spores that can lead to histoplasmosis, a potentially dangerous respiratory illness.
✔ Structural Damage – Guano and urine break down insulation, stain wood, and even corrode drywall.
✔ Strong Odors – A buildup of droppings causes an overpowering ammonia-like smell throughout the house.
✔ Parasites – Bats often carry mites, fleas, and ticks that can transfer to pets or humans.
✔ Rabies Concerns – Although not all bats carry rabies, they are one of the top carriers in the U.S., making direct contact very risky.
Professional Pflugerville bat removal services are crucial not just for removal, but for long-term protection of your home and health.
Because bats are nocturnal, they often go unnoticed until the infestation becomes significant. Here are some common warning signs:
✔ High-Pitched Chirping – Bats communicate using high-frequency sounds that may be faintly audible during the night.
✔ Droppings in the Attic or Around Entry Points – Bat guano often accumulates near vents, on window sills, or on attic floors.
✔ Grease Marks – Brown or black smudges near holes or gaps, where bats squeeze through, are common indicators.
✔ Bats Flying at Dusk – If you notice bats exiting your attic vents or chimney at sunset, there's likely a colony inside.
✔ Unpleasant Smell – A strong musky or ammonia-like odor in the attic often points to bat waste accumulation.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to contact the Pflugerville bat removal professionals at Critter Stop for an inspection.
Many homeowners think they can handle a bat infestation themselves. However, removing bats is more complex—and dangerous—than it appears:
✔ Legal Protections – Bats are federally protected in Texas and across the U.S., especially during maternity season. Mishandling removal can result in legal penalties.
✔ Risk of Bites and Rabies – Improper handling increases the risk of being bitten and possibly exposed to rabies.
✔ Hidden Nesting Areas – Bats roost in tight crevices and high places that are difficult to locate and access.
✔ Recurring Infestations – Without sealing all access points, bats often return—even after DIY attempts at removal.

✔ Use Chimney Caps – Install screens or caps on chimneys to block bat access.
✔ Install Attic Vent Covers – Proper screening over attic vents can keep bats out while allowing airflow.
✔ Reduce Outdoor Lighting – Lights attract insects, which in turn attract bats. Keep lighting minimal around entry points.
If you suspect bats have made themselves at home in your attic, chimney, or walls, don’t delay. Bat infestations worsen over time and bring costly consequences. Trust the professionals at Critter Stop for safe, legal, and effective Pflugerville bat removal services.
