Keep Bats Out: Safeguard Your Commercial Property in Alabama and Tennessee

Bats play a crucial role in our ecosystem, with Alabama home to 16 species and Tennessee to 15. However, when these winged creatures invade commercial properties, they can become a significant problem. Despite their protected status, bats can cause severe structural damage, health risks, and costly repairs when they take up residence in your business.

 

The Hidden Dangers in Your Building

While bats might appear harmless, their presence on your commercial property can lead to serious issues. They often enter through small openings and settle in attics, walls, or other hidden spaces. The accumulation of bat guano (droppings) is particularly hazardous—it can corrode building materials, produce foul odors, and pose health risks such as Histoplasmosis, a respiratory disease caused by inhaling spores from bat guano.

For business owners, this means expensive repairs, potential legal liabilities, and disruptions to daily operations. It’s essential to address the issue before it escalates.

With the end of bat maternity season on August 14th, Waynes Pest Control is ready to begin bat exclusion services for commercial properties in Alabama and Tennessee starting August 15th.
