About Lexington Bat Removal
Welcome to lexingtonbat.com. We are the only qualified bat removal company in Lexington, Kentucky. Bat extraction is the company's specialty. We make sure that 100% of all bats are removed from your property without harming a single one. Unlike other pests, bats are not allowed to be trapped or killed, and this is why extracting bats require special exclusion devices that do not use poisons or any traps. Our special exclusion device is a one way door that allows bats to get out of your home freely but they will be unable to get back inside. This is why we highly recommend that you seek professional help when you are dealing with bats, because we know the importance of good equipment and timing. Our staff is fully trained and equipped to handle all kinds of bat problems, and our licensed professionals make sure that all procedures are up to date and the best in the field. Bat guano or droppings can be very harmful, because they can encourage growth of harmful fungi that can cause histoplasmosis. These fungi can also affect your home's structural integrity, which can cause a lot of problems for you in the future. We also never leave your premises without knowing that there is still work to be done, and this includes cleaning up! We offer free cleanup services that will make sure your attic is deodorized, decontaminated, and sanitized from all the bat guano that might be harmful to you and your family. Call us now, and we can offer free price estimates for your problem. We operate 24-7-365, so don't hesitate to call us at 859-905-3520 to discuss your bat problem and schedule a fast appointment.
Residential
We are experts at removing bats from residential properties. Whether you have a single bat trapped in your house, a colony roosting in your attic, and/or various other problems, there is no need to worry! During our removal process, we make sure to inspect your entire home carefully, tracking down all the entrypoints bats are using to invade your place. Next, we perform a process called live exclusion (where no bats are harmed and all exit your property), then seal all entry holes completely shut. We also take care of the cleanup process after, so your home is safe and clean!
Learn MoreCommercial
Besides residential areas, we also have a wealth of experience removing bats from commercial properties! We begin by investigating the area for possible bat entrances, covering holes even as small as 1/4 of an inch. Through our live exclusion process, bats leave the building through one-way exits, and we seal up every hole afterward. Once the bats have been removed, we perform a cleanup process. This includes dealing with guano, replacing damaged insulation, and decontaminating the place.

Diet of the Bat
People have some weird thoughts about what bats eat. Some think bats bite at people, while others may have no idea what the bats like to eat.
The fact is, very few bats eat mammals or want to bite humans. In North America, bats are primarily insectivores. The chances of finding bats that eat anything other than insects is incredibly low.
The diet of bats is what makes them a beneficial part of most ecosystems and communities. People like having bats around because they can control the insect population.
A bat hunting for food may seem scary, but it is actually one of the best things for people.
What Bats Like
Again, bats are primarily insectivores. This means that they hunt and eat insects, such as beetles, moths, and other bugs they can find.
Most of the bats that you will come across or that are in your area are insectivores. They do not like to eat anything else and are unlikely to eat anything else.
However, with so many types of bats, you are going to find others that do not share that diet. Some bats like to eat fruit, as an example, while others prefer foods like frogs or fish. Certain types of bats may even consume blood, but not of humans. Those ones prefer large mammals like cows.
Knowing the difference between these types of bats can help you. There are a few ways to tell, like their physical appearance, but the best way to know is by your location.
Types of Bats
Each type of bat has its own diet. You can tell which type of bat is near you by which types live in your area. Certain bats, like the vampire bats, do not live in North America at all.
You can learn a lot more about the diets of bats in your area by checking what lives there. There might be more than one type, but that is the best first step.
In North America, the chances of non-insectivore bats being in your area is low. As most bats do eat insects, and the most common types eat them, you are unlikely to find another type around. It is still possible, however, and worth looking into.
Bats can eat a lot of different types of foods, depending on the type. From beetles to fruit to blood – bats of all kinds have varying diets. In North America, though, and in much of the world, the most common kinds are going to be insectivores.
