Bat Extermination
Texas state laws require specific actions are taken when finding bats inside a home or business which include:
- Removing the bat and colony (if present)
- Repairing the structure to ensure bats are excluded in the future
- Disinfecting the areas where bats roosted
There are federal and state regulations that protect bats from being exterminated using chemicals such as insecticides, rodenticides, disinfectants, and mothballs. Not only is exterminating bats in Texas destructive and illegal, but it never solves the problem. The only humane and correct way to remove bats is with a live exclusion.
