Bat removal for Fruita, where older farm barns may increasingly take in colonies displaced by a still developing statewide bat disease.
Call (844) 924-1337Fruita's older farm barns, some standing on working properties since well before Lloyd Olsen ran his own operation here in 1945, have exactly the gaps and open rafters a bat colony looks for once a natural roost stops being available. Statewide, that kind of displacement is a genuinely new pressure: Colorado Parks and Wildlife had never confirmed white nose syndrome in the state until 2023, when a Yuma bat tested positive near La Junta.
Wildlife officials now consider more than a dozen native bat species vulnerable to that fungus, and as wild colonies decline, more of them are expected to move into structures like an old Fruita barn instead of natural habitat. Because the outbreak is still so recent, a bat call on a Fruita farm building today more likely traces to that disease pressure than to any long standing habit tied to the barn itself.

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 Fruita and request pricing for your situation.
