Understanding Bat Infestations in Houston

Houston’s warm, humid climate creates ideal conditions for bat populations to thrive year-round. Our local Houston, TX bat removal company understands that several bat species common to the area, including the Mexican free-tailed bat and evening bat, frequently seek shelter in residential and commercial structures. These nocturnal mammals are attracted to the attics, chimneys, and wall voids found throughout neighborhoods from Memorial to Sugar Land, and from Pearland to The Woodlands.

Sometimes bats make their presence known by flying through a home, business or industrial facility after dusk, but bat infestations are not always so obvious. The Critter Team knows where to look and what to look for. Bats are creatures of habit. They like to return to a convenient roosting location night after night. Bat droppings tend to accumulate along walkways, window sills and in attics.

Expert and Humane Bat Control

Many wild animal species, including several bat species, are protected under state and federal law. According to Texas Parks and Wildlife regulations, bats cannot be excluded during maternity season when young bats are present. The Critter Team employs safe and humane methods to remediate bat infestations while following all legal requirements. One of our wild animal control specialists will conduct an inspection to learn how the bats are entering the building. Once they are humanely excluded and prevented from returning, we can also provide bat clean up, guano removal, and insulation replacement services.

Common Signs of Bats in the Attic

As a local Houston, TX bat removal company serving areas along I-10, Highway 290, and the Sam Houston Tollway, we know the telltale signs of bat activity:

Scratching sounds and squeaking noises from walls, ceilings, or chimneys, especially at dusk and dawn
Dark staining on exterior walls near entry points
Accumulation of bat droppings on walkways, porches, or window sills
Strong, musty odor in attic spaces or near vents
Visible bats flying around your property at sunset
Grease marks near potential entry points from bat fur oils

Bats are nocturnal creatures, so a bat colony can definitely prevent you from getting a good night of sleep. However, the bigger concern is the health risks. Bats are great for the environment. They eat their weight in mosquitoes and other insects every night. That means that feces, also known as guano, can really pile up fast. Guano often contaminates insulation and other building materials. The fungus found in bat guano can cause histoplasmosis, a serious respiratory disease. Bat urine and guano often lead to stains and disagreeable odors on siding, window sills, and walkways. Additionally, bats are known carriers of rabies.

Health Risks Associated with Bat Infestations

Rabies Concerns

While the percentage of bats carrying rabies is small, the risk is real. The CDC reports that bats are the leading cause of rabies deaths in humans in the United States. Never attempt to handle bats yourself. Our local Houston, TX bat removal company has the training and equipment to safely manage bat situations.

Histoplasmosis Risk

Histoplasmosis is caused by breathing in spores from the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum, which grows in bat guano. Houston’s humidity creates perfect conditions for this fungus to develop in attic spaces. Symptoms can range from mild flu-like illness to severe respiratory problems. Removing bat guano should always be left to professionals with proper protective equipment.

How Bats Enter Houston Homes and Buildings

Once a colony of bats has located a suitable roosting site in neighborhoods like River Oaks, Bellaire, or West University Place, it is hard to convince them to leave. It is even more difficult to figure out how they gained entry in the first place. Bat repellent is ineffective, and it will not permanently solve the problem. Our local Houston, TX bat removal company specializes in identifying and sealing all potential entry points.

Common Bat Entry Points

Open doors and windows
Damaged window screens
Unprotected attic vents
Ridge vents along the peak of the roof
Gaps, holes, and cracks along roof edges, trim boards, eaves, and soffits
Missing mortar or bricks, uncapped chimney flues, and damaged crowns
Gaps along the edges of shutters
Damaged siding
Edges of dormer soffits, roof edges, and eaves
Gaps around utility lines and pipes

Our Comprehensive Bat Control Solutions

The Critter Team is a full-service wild animal control company. We offer expert residential, commercial and industrial wildlife removal and restoration services throughout the Greater Houston area, including Katy, Humble, and League City. We get rid of bat infestations of any size or severity. Our Houston bat removal professionals are trained to humanely remove bats and repair any related damage.

Our Bat Removal Process

Step 1: Thorough Inspection

Our specialists conduct a complete inspection of your property to identify all bat entry points, assess the size of the colony, and determine the extent of any damage. We examine attics, chimneys, vents, and exterior structures.

Step 2: Humane Bat Exclusion

Following Texas wildlife regulations, we install one-way exclusion devices that allow bats to exit but prevent them from returning. This humane method ensures bats leave on their own without trapping any inside. Exclusion work must be timed appropriately to avoid maternity season (typically May through August in Texas).

Step 3: Entry Point Sealing

Once all bats have been excluded, we seal every potential entry point using durable materials designed to withstand Houston’s climate. This includes repairing damaged vents, sealing gaps in soffits, and reinforcing vulnerable areas.

Step 4: Guano Cleanup and Sanitization

Our team safely removes all bat guano and contaminated insulation using proper protective equipment. We then sanitize affected areas to eliminate odors and disease risks. This is a critical step that should never be attempted without professional training.

Step 5: Damage Repair and Restoration

We repair any structural damage caused by the infestation and replace contaminated insulation. Our goal is to restore your property to its pre-infestation condition.

We had some kind of animal living in our attic so we called The Critter Team. Mike was very responsive and although I was calling on the weekend, he explained to me what the situation was and what he could do to help. He came out a couple of days later to fit my schedule and he quickly found that it was a raccoon and he found where it was getting into the attic from. He placed a trap and within 24 hours, he caught the culprit. Even though it was storming the following day, he came out and took the animal and cage as well as sealed up the hole for us. I highly recommend the Critter Team for raccoon trapping and all means of wildlife control. Critter Team has gained a customer for life.read more

Awesome experience with Critter Team! I called at 7 in the evening because I had a snake in my house. Wonderful customer service from the person I spoke to on the phone. Mike was there by 7:30. Snake was captured by 9:30. Great experience with Mike. He was honest, did his job and didn’t over charge me just because he could. I have Critter Team on speed dial now!read more

I had a dead animal somewhere. I called and The Critter Team came out first thing the next day, found the thing in my chimney, removed it, and sealed up the flue with grating material. Excellent service. (Tad was my guy - good man.)

Paid up front in full $1100.00. Critter Team set traps but never returned. Their contract states daily maintenance, but after a week and 2 voice messages unanswered, nothing. At 8 days, I spoke with a woman who answered Mike's number and asked her to send someone out because the raccoons had ripped out another soffit vent cover and were bypassing the traps. I never received a callback, never received a visit. I called another raccoon removal company who covered all soffit vents with 16 gauge wire, and overlaid with a brand new vent cover and removed Critter Team traps. New company placed live trap in attic and the raccoon was caught that night. I do not recommend The Critter Team, they abandoned the job.read more

I wouldn’t leave any stars, someone mentioned great customer service. Well that’s were I don’t think so, they came out and charged their inspection fee and then asked for 50% down to order material. Well here it is almost 3 months now and they won’t respond to texts or voicemails. He mentions veteran owned and that meant a lot. Just wondering if it’s all a scheme to make money and never do the work expected.read more

We called the Critter Team to remove a raccoon that we had already trapped. They did come out promptly so for that I would have given a high rating. The raccoon and the trap were in our attic so they had to walk up our attic stairs located inside the house lift the trap and leave with the critter. He promised to return the trap(we had borrowed it from a friend) on Monday 1/6/2020. It is now 1/13/2020 and it still has not been returned. My husband and myself have made phone calls and sent texts (the texts were ignored) asking that the trap be returned as promised and the response to phone calls is always we'll get it to you today or tomorrow. We paid well over 200 dollars for someone to walk up our attic stairs and take the trap and raccoon away and we certainly did not complain about the costs BUT now we get to pay an additional 60 to replace a trap we borrowed from our friend because they will not return the trap as promised. They pride themselves on being/hiring veterans well my husband is also a veteran, a former marine that served in desert storm. Nice way to treat your veteran customers.read more
