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 ask about independent provider options that may cover Wellington.

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. Because many bat species are protected, this is usually done by an independent provider familiar with local timing restrictions rather than as a DIY project.
The same exclusion approach used for attics applies to bats roosting elsewhere in a house, soffits, eaves, chimneys, or wall voids. An independent provider can inspect the structure, identify every active entry point, and time the exclusion appropriately.
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.
Pricing is set by the independent provider you're connected with, not by PestGuardians, and it varies based on your location, the extent of the roost, and the exclusion work required. Call and ask your Wellington provider directly for a real quote based on your situation.
