Cities throughout Brevard County especially on the mainland like melbourne, palm bay, viera, rockledge, cocoa and titusville frequently experience bat problems in soffits, siding, and attics because local bat species like Mexican and Brazilian free tailed bats thrive in the Space Coast due to the environment, insects and homes with construction gaps that unintentionally mimic their natural roosting sites.
Signs Of Bats In Your Neighborhood?
Here’s what to do: If your neighborhood is having bat infestations in its homes then it would be a good idea to inspect your soffit, roof line, siding and roof vents for any potential holes. Remember if your fingers can fit in the gap then a bat will probably have no problem usingthearea as an entry. If you find any holes during inspection, be sure to seal them immediately or hire a company like ours to prevent such bat infestations.
Bats In The Attic What To Do?
Mexican Free-Tailed Bats are the most common species of bat involved in attic infestations in Central Florida. Female bats typically produce only one offspring per year. Thus, their reproductive rate is not the key problem in bat infestations. Bats roost together in great, concentrated numbers. Thus, if bats find an entry and begin to roost in your attic, it can become a very huge problem. They produce large quantities of urine and guano, and their waste accumulates extremely quickly. This causes a very strong stench. As well, bat infestations can cause potentially serious health problems. This is why it is vital that bat infestations are dealt with immediately.
Bats can be quite a nuisance in Florida homes, businesses, condos, and apartments. If left unchecked, they can create a huge mess in just a short amount of time, which can be hazardous to your health, and costly to clean up.
Bats are protected under Florida law, and should only be dealt with by a professional. In addition, they can also carry rabies, which can easily be transmitted to humans from a bite.
We offer safe, professional, humane and legal bat exclusion services in Florida. We can get the bats out, and clean up any mess left behind.

The final step is to clean up the guano and remove any unwanted odors. Bat colonies can leave mounds of guano behind in just a short time, and they also leave behind a very foul and distinct odor from gland secretions.

bat Signs!
One of the biggest least know bat signs are black stains near your houses entry points. That can also be accompanied by guano and bat urine. Bats are notorious for their well known screaming sounds that can be very disturbing, listen for these especially at night! If you see an unsecured attic vent, make sure they are not entering through that area, if they are you may have a big hidden infestation. Many times you can see these signs behind your shutters or on your porch. Bats can carry many diseases so please call Eraticators today if you think you may have bats in your roof!
DIY Bat Removal
1. Identify where the bat colony is entering the home.
- Look for bat droppings (guano) around entry points.
- Watch your house at dusk or dawn to see where bats are flying in or out.
- Common entry spots: roof drip edges, attic vents, chimneys, gaps in siding, or loose soffit.
2. Do not trap or kill them
- Killing bats is illegal in most places.
- Trapping inside can cause them to die in your walls, leading to odors and more problems.
3. Time it right
- Avoid exclusion during maternity season (usually April 15th spring to August 15th mid-summer), when baby bats can’t fly yet.
- Best time: late summer through early fall, or early spring.
4. Seal entry points (after they leave)
- Install one-way exclusion devices (like bat cones or netting) on main exit holes.
- Bug screen, landscape fabric or flashing
- These let bats fly out but not back in.
- Leave in place for 5–7 nights to ensure all have exited.
- Once the bats are gone its very important to permanently seal holes with caulk, hardware cloth, or flashing.
- Seal all cracks larger than ½ inch.
- Add chimney caps and attic vent covers.
- Ensure soffits and rooflines are tight.
6. Bat Guano Clean up safely
- Bat guano can carry histoplasmosis spores.
- Wear gloves, p100 pro mask, and protective clothing when cleaning.
- Before disturbing guano make sure to saturate with a disinfectant (2oz per gallon) or a bleach solution (1:10 mix) or industrial strength disinfectant you can purchase at your local harware store.
- Bag and dispose of droppings properly.
7. Encourage bats to live elsewhere
- Consider putting up a bat house away from your home.
- This gives them a safe roost and keeps them out of your attic.
