A bat disease new to Colorado in 2023 may be sending more displaced colonies toward buildings like Wellington's older rail-era structures.
Call (844) 924-1337Colorado confirmed its very first case of white nose syndrome in 2023, and wildlife officials expect over a dozen native bat species to be vulnerable to it. As wild populations decline from the disease, colonies are more likely to fall back on structures instead of natural roosts, and Wellington's older buildings, standing since not long after the town's 1902 founding, fit that description.
Since the whole situation only started in 2023, a Wellington bat problem today is probably about the disease pushing colonies to relocate, not a roost that's been there for years. Call (844) 924-1337 to discuss pest control help in Wellington and check service availability.

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 Wellington and request pricing for your situation.
