Bat Exclusion
At Health-Wise, we specialize in humane and effective bat exclusion services, addressing these concerns to ensure a safe and habitable living environment for you and your family."
Florida is home to a diverse array of 13 bat species, each playing a vital role in our ecosystem. These fascinating creatures are essential pollinators, insect controllers, and seed dispersers. From the tiny Southeastern Myotis to the larger Florida Bonneted Bat, each species has unique characteristics and contributes to the health of our state's natural habitats.
If your home or Business has a Bat Infestation...
If you have a larger infestation of bats or continued re-entry, professional care is a good choice. We use a process called exclusion. Exclusion is designed to seal the primary exits that bats use with one-way doors. This allows the bats to leave safely without permitting them to return.
If bats are lurking around your home, it’s crucial to act quickly. However, since exterminating bats or using pesticides on them is illegal in the United States, handling a bat infestation can be tricky. That's when Health-Wise comes in.

"Though bats contribute to the ecosystem, their presence indoors can pose risks to both homes and health. Here are some potential issues that may arise:
-
Undesirable Allergies: Bats indoors may trigger allergies, posing health concerns for occupants.
-
Structural Damage: Bat droppings, known as guano, can lead to significant structural damage to your home over time.
-
Risk of Histoplasmosis: Inhaling a fungus found in bat droppings may result in histoplasmosis, a potentially serious infection.
-
Unpleasant Odor: The accumulation of guano can produce an unpleasant odor, making your home less comfortable to inhabit.
