Bat Removal in Detroit: what to expect

Bat removal in Detroit almost always means exclusion: letting the bats leave on their own through one-way devices, then sealing the gaps so they cannot get back in. Older brick homes and bungalows across Detroit, Grosse Pointe, Ferndale and Livonia have gaps at roof returns, soffits, chimney chases and attic vents that make easy roosts.

Bats are protected in Michigan, and the DNR says lethal control is not permitted except for human safety issues. Timing matters: the DNR advises avoiding exclusion during the maternity season, typically May to mid August, so flightless young are not trapped inside. A good crew inspects the whole roofline, installs one-way doors at active exits, and seals every other gap with durable materials such as hardware cloth, caulk or metal flashing.

Guano cleanup and damaged insulation are often part of the job; see wildlife removal for other animals in the attic, and compare Metro Detroit pest and wildlife pros.

What a proper job includes

  • Full roofline and attic inspection to find entry and exit points
  • Species and colony size notes, with timing checked against maternity season
  • One-way exclusion devices at active exits
  • Sealing of secondary gaps with screen, sealant or flashing
  • Return visit to remove devices and seal final openings
  • Guano and soiled insulation cleanup quoted separately if needed
  • Written warranty on sealed areas

What drives the price

  • Number of entry points and how much roofline needs sealing
  • Roof height, pitch and whether a lift is needed
  • Time of year and whether exclusion must wait until after pups can fly
  • Guano cleanup and attic insulation replacement
  • Chimney caps, vent screens or soffit repairs
  • Length of the warranty on the sealed work

Licensing and permits in Michigan

Bats are protected in Michigan. Lethal removal is allowed only for human safety issues and requires a DNR permit, so a normal job is exclusion only. Companies that handle nuisance wildlife for a fee need a Wildlife Damage and Nuisance Control permit from the DNR. Ask the company for its DNR permit and check the DNR directory of permitted nuisance animal control businesses.

If a bat had direct contact with a person or pet, the DNR advises contacting your local health department or a veterinarian before the bat is released or discarded. Roof or soffit repairs made during exclusion normally do not need a permit, but confirm with the local building department if framing is replaced.

How to compare quotes

  1. Ask when exclusion can start and how they handle the maternity season.
  2. Ask how many entry points they found and get photos.
  3. Confirm their DNR nuisance control permit.
  4. Compare warranty length on sealed areas.
  5. Ask whether guano and insulation cleanup is included or separate.

Common questions

Bat Removal FAQ

It depends on how many gaps must be sealed, roof height and access, the time of year, and whether guano cleanup and insulation replacement are needed.
The Michigan DNR advises avoiding exclusion during the maternity season, typically May to mid August, because young bats that cannot fly yet would be trapped inside. Inspection and sealing of inactive gaps can often still happen.
Bats are protected in Michigan, and the DNR says lethal control is not permitted except for human safety issues. Exclusion with one-way doors is the standard method.
Keep people and pets away from it. If anyone may have had contact with the bat, call your local health department or veterinarian before letting it go.
Hire a company that holds a Michigan DNR Wildlife Damage and Nuisance Control permit and uses exclusion. Lethal removal needs a separate DNR permit and is allowed only for human safety issues.
