BAT CONTROL & BAT EXCLUSION SERVICES IN METRO VANCOUVER, BC
Bats are a protected wildlife species in British Columbia and are commonly found roosting in attics, rooflines, wall voids, chimneys, and siding gaps of homes and commercial buildings across Metro Vancouver. While bats play an important role in the ecosystem, their presence inside buildings creates health, safety, and sanitation concerns that require professional management.
Bat droppings (guano) and contaminated roosting areas are associated with specific human illnesses, including Histoplasmosis (a fungal respiratory infection linked to accumulated bat droppings) and potential exposure risks related to Rabies through direct contact with bats. Bat guano can also cause respiratory irritation when disturbed, especially in enclosed or poorly ventilated attic spaces.
Bats typically return to the same roosting locations year after year if access points remain open. Their droppings accumulate quickly, damaging insulation, creating strong odours, attracting insects, and contaminating indoor air. Because bats are protected, improper removal is illegal, making professional, regulation-compliant exclusion essential.
At MetroVan Pest Control, we provide humane, BC-compliant bat inspection and exclusion services focused on safely removing bats from structures without harm, followed by long-term prevention and sanitation.
