#1 Bat Removal in Alberta
Bats are a common concern for homeowners across Alberta, especially during the warmer months when they seek shelter in attics, walls, and other quiet spaces. While bats play an important role in controlling insect populations, their presence inside buildings can lead to health risks and structural issues. At All About Pests, we provide professional bat removal in Alberta, helping homeowners and businesses safely and humanely remove bats and prevent future infestations.
Our Bat Removal Alberta Process
At All About Pests, we use a proven, step-by-step bat removal & exclusion approach tailored for Alberta homes to deliver effective, long-lasting results:
1
Bat Inspection
- A licensed technician conducts a dusk/dawn exterior inspection to identify species activity, map every entry/exit gap as small as 1 cm, and assess signs like guano, staining, and roosting areas in attics and soffits.
- Determine species and entry points in and around your Alberta home
- Assess environmental factors and household vulnerabilities
- Document findings and communicate results to the homeowner
2
Customized Exclusion Plan
- A tailored plan outlines safe timing, one-way exit device locations, sealing strategy, and cleanup needs, with strict avoidance of the pup-rearing period when young bats cannot fly. Plans emphasize eviction-only outside maternity season and detail protective measures for living spaces until exclusion can proceed
- Choose eco-friendly and family-safe products and techniques
- Outline preparation steps for residents (if required)
- Provide clear instructions and expectations for the treatment process
3
Humane Eviction
- At the approved time of year, one-way exclusion devices are installed so bats can leave but cannot re-enter, followed by confirmation that the entire colony has exited before permanent sealing.
- Exclusions are never performed during the maternity window when pups are present, as required to prevent harm and comply with provincial guidance
- Minimize disruption to daily life during service
- Monitor progress and adjust techniques as needed
4
Sanitation & Safety
- After confirming bat departure, all primary and secondary entry points are sealed with durable materials, and vulnerable gaps along rooflines, vents, fascia, chimneys, and siding are bat‑proofed to stop future access.
- Repairs are scheduled only after safe eviction to avoid trapping bats inside the structure
- Targeted cleanup addresses guano and soiled insulation in accessible areas, paired with odor control and risk reduction for secondary pests.
- Any known or suspected human or pet contact triggers immediate public‑health guidance and rabies exposure protocols through Alberta Health Services.
5
Prevention & Follow-Up
- Technicians provide recommendations such as installing a bat house on the property to offer alternative roosting and reduce re-entry pressure, along with seasonal monitoring to confirm long-term success.
- Follow-up visits validate seal integrity and ensure your home remains bat‑free year‑round.
Types of Bats in Alberta
Several bat species are native to Alberta. The most common include:
Frequently roosts in homes, attics, and barns. Once one of the most common species in Canada, its populations have declined due to White-Nose Syndrome.
Silver-Haired Bat
A migratory species that roosts in forests and wooded areas.
Long-Eared and Long-Legged Bats
Less common, but still found across the province.
Rabies and Bats in Alberta
One of the most important health concerns related to bats is rabies. Although rabies is relatively rare in bat populations, bats are the primary rabies carriers in Alberta.
Key Facts:
Risk of Exposure – Any direct contact with a bat should be taken seriously. A bite or scratch may transmit rabies, even if the wound is very small and hard to see.
Testing – If a bat is found inside a home where people have been sleeping, Alberta Health Services recommends safely capturing it for rabies testing.
Public Safety – Never handle bats without proper protective equipment.
Prevention – Professional bat exclusion prevents accidental contact and helps keep families safe.
Because rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, preventing exposure is critical. This is one reason why professional bat removal in Edmonton and across Alberta is so important.

Humane, Timing‑Safe Exclusions in Alberta
Exclusions are scheduled outside the pup‑rearing window and use one‑way devices so bats exit but cannot re‑enter, preventing harm and meeting Alberta best‑practice guidance. Permanent sealing happens only after full colony departure is confirmed.
Family and Pet Safety First
Teams follow Alberta public‑health guidance for any potential contact, including referral for rabies exposure assessment when appropriate. Work practices limit dust, odors, and disruption inside living spaces during and after service.
Bat-Proofing That Lasts
Durable sealing and screening target rooflines, soffits, vents, chimneys, fascia, and siding gaps as small as a dime to prevent future access. Follow‑up checks verify seals and reduce re‑entry pressure as seasons change.
Cleanup and Remediation
Targeted guano cleanup and spot insulation remediation help reduce odors and secondary pest risks after bats have safely vacated. Guidance includes safe handling practices and when additional remediation is recommended.
Transparent Pricing and Guarantee
Upfront recommendations and clear scopes reduce surprises, with work sequenced to the correct season for effectiveness and welfare. Post‑exclusion checks and seasonal monitoring help ensure lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bat Removal in Alberta
I have a bat flying around my house. What do I do?
Close interior doors to confine the bat to one room, keep people and pets out, then open windows/doors to the outside, dim lights, and allow it to leave on its own; do not swat or grab a flying bat. If anyone had direct contact or a bat was found in a room with a sleeping person, child, or pet, safely contain it for testing and contact public health for rabies guidance immediately.
If the bat won’t leave, wait for it to land, then wearing thick gloves, place a box or container over it, slide cardboard underneath, add air holes, and release outdoors at dusk from a raised spot 5–6 feet high so it can take off; if it doesn’t fly within 1–2 hours, contact a rehabilitator or a professional.
To prevent repeats, seal gaps the size of a dime or larger, screen vents and chimneys, and consider professional bat‑proofing timed outside the maternity season.
I found a baby bat and don't know what to do now...
If the bat is truly a pup (tiny, little or no fur, often found June–August), do not attempt to raise it yourself—contact a local bat rehabilitator or wildlife professional immediately for guidance. Keep it safe in a ventilated box with a soft cloth, keep it warm and dark, and avoid handling except with thick gloves to reduce stress and bite risk.
I found a bat on the ground. What now?
If a bat is grounded in daylight, it likely needs help—avoid bare‑hand contact, wear thick gloves, gently contain it in a ventilated box with a soft cloth, and keep it warm, dark, and away from pets and children. Note the exact find location, contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator or local wildlife authority promptly, and seek public‑health advice if any bite, scratch, or contact is suspected.
What should I do if I've been bitten by a bat?
Seek medical care immediately: wash the bite or scratch thoroughly with soap and water for at least 5 minutes, apply an antiseptic if available, and go to urgent care or the ER for rabies risk assessment and post‑exposure treatment, even if the wound looks minor or you’ve been vaccinated before. If it can be done safely, contain the bat in a ventilated, escape‑proof container for identification/testing, avoid further contact by using thick gloves, and follow public‑health guidance on rabies and tetanus updates.
I have bats in my roof and want to get rid of them.
If bats are in your roof, don’t disturb or seal the roost; instead, keep interior doors closed, avoid DIY repellents, and book All About Pests in Edmonton for a humane, timing‑safe exclusion plan that uses one‑way devices outside maternity season, followed by full bat‑proofing, cleanup guidance, and prevention to keep your home bat‑free long‑term.
