Bats are often misunderstood. Many believe these flying mammals, members of the order Chiroptera, prey on human blood or dive at people to bite them. Although there are species of bats that feed on blood, none are found in the Lakewood Ranch area of Florida. Most often, we will see the big brown bat invading homes. Bats only appear to attack humans because they “swoop” down before entering areas.
Often, bats enter homes through soffit openings. In Sarasota & Bradenton, we also find them under the tiles on barrel tile roofs. It takes years of training in wildlife control to remove and prevent bats from getting back in without causing harm. Performing a bat exclusion on all potential entry points in the home is the best method of bat control.
If you find colonies of bats living in your home, they should be addressed quickly. Bats are a damaging pest that needs to be controlled.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Bats Near You
Bats are nature’s pest control, preying on many annoying, night-flying insects, such as moths, mosquitoes, and gnats. More than two-thirds of bat species hunt insects and have an enormous appetite. A small brown bat may consume 1,000 mosquito-sized insects in only one hour. A pregnant or nursing female eats her body weight in insects each night. Bats also eat insects that feed on commercial plants and help to pollinate the ecosystem.

Although there are advantages to having bats around, a bat infestation is not something to be ignored. Bat droppings can be dangerous to humans. This becomes an issue of concern when bats choose to shelter in your home. A bat can fit into holes or gaps less than 1/2 an inch. Its ability to squeeze into tiny areas requires exceptionally close attention to detail for the exclusion and removal process to be effective.
Compounding the challenge is the fact that bats are a protected species. Handling bats is only permitted if they are inside a structure inhabited by humans. If the removal process is not performed correctly, it may result in death for the bats, which is terrible for our ecosystem.

Bats are attracted to roofs, chimneys, soffit, and attics for a few reasons. Bats hunting for roosting locations for shelter or warmth. They are also attracted to areas close to food sources. Large street lamps attract large amounts of inspects at night and can draw a bat’s attention. Retention ponds have a large number of insects that a mosquito can easily skim off the water’s surface. Destruction of natural habitats can also force bats to seek shelter in man-made structures.
Bat infestations are sometimes mistaken as rodent issues. Many homeowners falsely think they have a rodent problem when they find droppings on their porch, patio, or driveway. However, bats commonly roost in soffits and roofs near these areas and will spread their guano as they come and go. Other indications of a bat infestation are:
- Bats flying in through the ridge cap
- Entry and exit points contain oil streaks
- Urine is dripping down the walls
