Bat removal for Johnstown, where a disease only just discovered in Colorado may send more colonies toward buildings from soon after 1907.
Call (844) 924-1337David Osborn platted the town along the Colorado and Southern Railway in 1902 and named it after his own son John, and the buildings that went up in the years around Johnstown's 1907 incorporation, several still standing near Parish Avenue, are old enough now to have developed the loose siding and gapped soffits a bat looks for once a nearby barn or shed stops being an option. That kind of aging construction matters more statewide since 2023, when Colorado Parks and Wildlife confirmed white nose syndrome in a Yuma bat found near La Junta, the fungus's first confirmed case in Colorado after it had already turned up, without visible disease yet, in several counties.
Wildlife officials expect colonies losing ground to that disease to fall back on whatever shelter is available, and a town built up quickly in Johnstown's earliest railroad era offers more of that kind of shelter than a newer subdivision would. A bat inside one of these older buildings today is more plausibly explained by that recent disease pressure than by any long running habit tied to the structure 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 Johnstown and request pricing for your situation.
