These roosts are frequently near areas prone to insect swarms, such as fields, ponds, or neighborhoods. In the late spring or summer, homeowners who see bats leaving an attic or overhang at twilight may need to check for an infestation. \u200bBetween May 15th and August 5th, you cannot <a href=\"\/wildlife\/bats\/how-to-get-rid-of-bats\/\">get rid of bats from your attic<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bat-removal-in-the-winter-in-chicago\">Bat Removal in the Winter in Chicago<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During the winter, they usually roost in mines and caves. If natural habitats aren&#8217;t available, bats will winter inside buildings. If able, leave the bats alone for the winter and install exclusions once it gets warm.&nbsp;<br><br>They enter a state of bat hibernation called torpor. To survive long periods without food, the animals slow their breathing and heart rate, entering a deep sleep. Unlike true hibernation, bats in this state can wake briefly on warmer days and leave their roost to find meals.<br><br>If bats are evicted during one of these warmer months, they won&#8217;t have a safe place to return when the temperatures drop again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bat Problems in Your Attic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most significant bat problems is the collection of bat droppings, also called guano. Bat guano can introduce health risks to you and your family and damage your attic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guano provides a hospitable environment for the fungal spores that cause Histoplasmosis, a respiratory illness. When droppings accumulate, the spores become airborne and can be inhaled by residents. During bat removal, the Critter Control experts wear respirators to protect themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bat guano collects under the roost location. The longer an infestation lasts, the larger the pile of bat droppings. They can contaminate your insulation and weaken your ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In rare cases, a bat can find itself in the living space of your home. It is exceedingly rare for bats to bite you, but it can be difficult to find a bat bite spot.&nbsp;Additionally, bats are known carriers of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/wildlife\/bats\/bats-rabies\/\">rabies<\/a>. If someone has been in the same room with a bat, it is prudent to seek medical attention or contact the local health department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Problems with Bats in Walls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to creating noise, a bat in the walls of a house may become stuck. This is especially common for young bats, which have not yet mastered flying. If left alone, trapped bats often starve and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearscope.io\/wildlife\/bats\/dead-bat\/\">die<\/a> in wall voids, attracting rodents, cockroaches, and other pests with the smell of decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-we-get-rid-of-bats-in-chicago\">How We Get Rid of Bats in Chicago<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:15% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/crittercontrol\/crittercontrol\/media\/CritterControl\/Office Finder Refresh\/Icon_HomeInspection.svg\" alt=\"House with a magnifying glass icon\" class=\"wp-image-19451 size-thumbnail\"\/><\/figure>\n                    <script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n                    {\n                        \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n                        \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\n                        \"contentUrl\": \"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/crittercontrol\/crittercontrol\/media\/CritterControl\/Office%20Finder%20Refresh\/Icon_HomeInspection.svg\",\n                        \"width\": \"\",\n                        \"height\": \"\",\n                        \"caption\": \"\",\n                        \"description\": \"\",\n                        \"contentLocation\": \"\",\n                        \"author\": {\n                            \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n                            \"name\": \"Critter Control\",\n                            \"url\": \"http:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/\"\n                        }\n                    }\n                    <\/script><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Inspection &amp;

The process typically takes three to seven days to ensure all bats are out. After a final attic inspection, we remove the valve and seal the final exit point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once bats are gone, the professionals at Critter Control will remove any feces and apply sanitization agents to decontaminate the area. In extreme cases, we off full attic restorations and reinstall attic insulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Critter Control offers professional bat removal across the country. Where you live will determine when bat removal is possible. In colder climates, you cannot remove or disturb bats during hibernation. During the summer, you can evict bats once the pups can fly on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"cta-banner-wrapper row  alt alt2 \">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n
