Arkansas – bats under siding

May 11, 2023

A homeowner in Briarcliff, AR called after discovering a small colony of bats roosting under the siding of heir house. She was worried about the disease the bats would give to her pets. Before calling us she had called a pest control company who quoted $12,000 to exclude the bats. We explained the many benefits of bats and that they are virtually disease free, and also that it was baby season so the bats should not be disturbed until late August. She agreed to wait until the end of summer to do a humane exclusion using the directions on this link: https://batworld.org/bats-in-building/
