Bat removal for Steamboat Springs' original downtown buildings, as a still developing statewide bat disease pushes colonies toward structures.
Call (844) 924-1337White nose syndrome first turned up in Colorado in 2023, and as it pushes native bat populations down across the state, colonies are expected to rely more heavily on man made structures instead of natural roosts. Steamboat Springs' original buildings, put up around the town's 1900 incorporation under founding mayor James H. Crawford, sit exactly where a displaced colony would look for a new roost.
Since this disease pressure is so recent for Colorado, a bat colony turning up in one of Steamboat Springs' historic buildings may have as much to do with habitat loss elsewhere as with anything about the building 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 Steamboat Springs and request pricing for your situation.
