Bat removal for Rifle's older buildings, as a still new statewide bat disease may push more colonies indoors.
Call (844) 924-1337Rifle's downtown buildings, some dating back close to the 1905 incorporation, sit along the same river corridor a displaced bat colony would follow looking for new shelter.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife didn't confirm white nose syndrome in the state until 2023, and with more than a dozen native bat species now considered susceptible, a Rifle bat call today is more likely tied to that recent disease pressure than to any long standing habit of roosting in a particular building.

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 Rifle and request pricing for your situation.
