Bats are a protected and important part of the ecosystem, but when they enter homes or buildings, they can create concerns for property owners. Across West Michigan, bats are commonly found in attics, rooflines, and other elevated areas where they can roost undisturbed.
Because bats are protected in many situations, their removal must be handled carefully and in accordance with local regulations. Improper handling can lead to legal issues as well as ineffective results.
Bat activity often begins through small openings along rooflines or vents, allowing them to enter and settle in quiet areas of the structure. Over time, this can lead to accumulation and ongoing presence if not addressed correctly.
