Bat Exclusion Services Begin August 15th
Florida is home to 13 native bat species, with up to 20 different species identified in the state. While bats play a crucial ecological role, they can cause significant structural damage if they establish colonies in commercial buildings.
The Risks Bats Pose to Commercial Properties
While bats are protected under the Florida Administrative Code rule 68A-4.001, their presence in commercial buildings can lead to serious problems. Bats can enter through small openings and roost in attics, walls, or other secluded areas, leading to structural damage over time. The accumulation of bat guano (droppings) can corrode building materials, cause foul odors, and even lead to health hazards such as Histoplasmosis—a respiratory disease caused by inhaling spores from bat guano.
For businesses, this can result in costly repairs, potential liability issues, and disruption to operations. It’s crucial to take proactive steps to prevent bats from entering your property and to safely remove any colonies that may already be present.
Bat Exclusion: Protecting Your Business
August 14 marks the end of bat maternity season, meaning that from August 15th, Turner Pest Control will begin bat exclusion work for both residential and commercial properties.
