Bat removal for Durango, where a still new statewide bat disease may push more colonies into the area's older buildings and mountain cabins.
Call (844) 924-1337Durango's own building stock gives bats plenty of places to settle: century old brick storefronts left over from the Durango Trust's original 1880 townsite, plus the mountain cabins scattered through the surrounding San Juan Mountains, both offer exactly the gaps and cavities a displaced colony looks for. That's worth knowing because Colorado only confirmed its first case of white nose syndrome in 2023, a Yuma bat near La Junta testing positive after the fungus itself, without any bats yet showing symptoms, had already turned up in Baca, Larimer, and Routt counties. Wildlife officials believe at least 13 of Colorado's 19 native bat species could be vulnerable, and as colonies elsewhere start declining, the displaced bats they leave behind tend to look for a new roost rather than simply vanish.
This disease pressure is new enough to Colorado, just a few years old as of the first confirmed case, that a bat colony moving into a Durango building right now may have more to do with that recent arrival than with any old, familiar roosting habit.

Bat removal from an attic is typically handled through exclusion: sealing off other potential entry points, installing one-way devices at the main entry so bats can leave to feed but can't get back in, then sealing that opening once the roost is confirmed empty. Bat exclusion calls for a professional assessment of the species, roost, and appropriate timing; do not attempt to seal an occupied roost yourself.
The same exclusion approach used for attics applies to bats roosting elsewhere in a house, soffits, eaves, chimneys, or wall voids. An exclusion assessment should identify active openings and consider the roost before any entry points are closed.
Coverage varies by policy and provider, and many policies treat wildlife exclusion differently than damage repair. Check directly with your insurance provider about what your specific policy covers before assuming either way.
Bat removal pricing depends on your location, the extent of the roost, access conditions, and the exclusion work required. Call PestGuardians to discuss the work needed in Durango and request pricing for your situation.
