Tulsa Bat Removal of the Oklahoma Wildlife Control® Limited Liability Company is proud to provide the most professional bat removal, eviction, proofing and exclusion service … which does not harm your bats, nor does it contaminate your dearest possessions with poisons or gases. OK Wildlife Control®, L.L.C. is very concerned about the health and well being of bats in Oklahoma. We provide custom bat house builds and installations in order to attract these precious creatures to your properties in order to control insect populations such as gnats, flies, mosquitoes, etc. Bats commonly eat over 1000 insects per night, so their purpose in nature is secured by their actions.
No one want bats in their attics, this is just not a good place for them. This is one of the reasons we build and install bat houses. However; OK Wildlife Control®, L.L.C. will not exclude bats from structures between the third week of May until the first week of September. This is the maternity season … and we do not want to remove the adult females during this period, because it will leave the helpless baby bats in the structures to starve to death, deteriorate and rot in the structure which can pose a health risk in itself. During this time period, OK Wildlife Control®, L.L.C. will answer bat calls, give estimates, evaluations and schedule a time and plan of action more suited to the well being of the bats, and the property owners.
OK Wildlife Control®, L.L.C. offers the humane removal of singular bats OR entire colonies. Removing bats from a building, whether it be residential or otherwise involves a 4 step process:
- Inspection
- Exclusion
- Bat-proofing
- Cleanup
INSPECTION
This is done to determine the location of the bats in the structure, the number of bats involved, i.e., 1, 10′s, or 100′s and the number of potential entry points, height, building material, etc.
EXCLUSION
Involves installing one-way check valves over the entry points to allow bats to naturally exit the structure, but are unable to re-enter. This usually takes approx. 1-2 weeks to ensure all bats have exited.
BAT-PROOFING
This is done in parallel to the exclusion, it involves going around the entire structure and sealing every crack, crevice and opening greater than 3/8 of an inch in diameter. OK Wildlife Control®, L.L.C. uses a variety of materials to accomplish this, 100% pure Silicon gel, Copper mesh, flashing, etc. This ensures that once the bats are out they are unable to find another way to gain reentry.
CLEANUP
If the infestation has been extensive, both from a time period and size of colony perspective, and cleanup services are desired, OK Wildlife Control®, L.L.C. can arrange for the sanitary cleanup of the droppings (guano).
