Bat removal for Erie, where a still developing statewide bat disease may push more colonies into the town's older 1870s and 1880s buildings.
Call (844) 924-1337White nose syndrome reached Colorado for the first time only in 2023, when a Yuma bat near La Junta tested positive, following earlier detections of the fungus itself in a handful of counties without any bats yet showing symptoms, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife's own tracking. More than a dozen native Colorado bat species are considered susceptible, and state wildlife officials expect displaced colonies to lean harder on man made structures as wild populations decline. Erie happens to offer plenty of exactly that kind of structure: an original townsite built up fast in the 1870s and 1880s, plus the six sided fort troops built on the hillside above town during the 1877 Erie War, both aging enough to have developed the gaps a bat colony would use.
Because that disease pressure is so new to the state, a bat turning up in an Erie building today may trace more to recently disrupted wild roosting than to any long standing habit of using that particular structure.

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 Erie and request pricing for your situation.
