How Does Quick Catch Remove Bats:
- Eviction and Exclusion is the only legal and appropriate method for removing bats
Bats are protected in Florida. The capture and relocation of bats is prohibited and ineffective as bats have incredible homing capabilities and will return to the roost after being relocated. So, exclusion with nets and sealing off all the entry points to prevent re entry is the most effective method for bat removal.- Please note, Bat exclusion can only occur from August 15th – April 15th of each year because bat maternity season is from April 16th-August 14th.
- During maternity season, female bats are congregating and raising baby bats. The baby bats (pups) aren’t able to fly for a few weeks after they are born, so any form of eviction during this time period can result in the pups getting trapped. Trapped bats will attempt to escape and may end up in the living space of buildings or may die inside the structure producing strong odors, attracting other unwanted pests.
