Call PestGuardians in Wisconsin to discuss bat removal, displaced from a former mining site after disease losses, across all 50 cities we cover statewide.
Call (844) 924-1337Neda Mine sits in Dodge County. Once worked as an iron mine, it grew into one of the Midwest's biggest places where bats hibernate through winter, holding an estimated 150,000 bats representing four separate species by the mid 2000s, a count researchers reached after studying the site closely. That scale traces back further, to southwestern Wisconsin's history of lead and zinc mining: the shafts left behind by that industry got claimed over time by bat species using them as substitute hibernation caves.
The fungus responsible for white nose syndrome showed up at Neda Mine in 2015, and by the following year the disease was confirmed in the bats living there. Statewide, bat populations that hibernate in caves and mines have fallen off sharply ever since the disease took hold. When a hibernation site becomes less hospitable, or simply draws more monitoring attention, the bats it once housed start looking elsewhere, and older farm buildings, barns and farmhouses alike, scattered across the old mining region of southwestern Wisconsin make convenient substitutes. That's why bat removal calls in this region increasingly connect back to the same decline researchers have been documenting at Neda Mine and comparable sites since 2015. Call (844) 924-1337 for bat removal questions and availability in your part of Wisconsin.
We haven't yet built individual city pages pairing Bat Removal with a specific Wisconsin city, the way we have for a few other states, so there's no per-city detail to report honestly in this section right now. What you read above is real, Wisconsin-specific research, drawn from the actual conditions that drive demand statewide, not a generic description recycled from another state's page, but it isn't broken down city by city yet.
Call with your city to discuss the pest concern and check local service availability.
As city-level Bat Removal pages go live for Wisconsin, this section will update to reflect genuine local details the same way it already does for some other states. We'd rather tell you that plainly than invent a city-by-city breakdown that doesn't exist yet.

Call (844) 924-1337Bat Removal runs into an added layer Wisconsin's standard trapping license doesn't cover. Common nuisance species like raccoons or squirrels fall under a general Wisconsin trapping license through the Department of Natural Resources, but bats are treated as a protected species requiring separate permitting beyond that baseline license, an entirely different system from DATCP's pesticide rules. For the full explanation of how Wisconsin's licensing works, see our Wisconsin coverage page.
Call anyway; we maintain coverage that is not always reflected yet in every city page.
Neda Mine, a former iron mine in Dodge County, hosted an estimated 150,000 bats before white nose syndrome was confirmed there in 2016, and cave and mine hibernating bat numbers have dropped sharply statewide since, pushing displaced bats toward nearby barns and farmhouses instead.
Yes, this is worth confirming directly. Bats are treated as a protected species in Wisconsin requiring permitting beyond the standard trapping license, entirely separate from DATCP's pesticide rules. Before booking, ask which credentials apply to the work and how they can be confirmed.
No. Pricing varies by city, the specifics of the job, and whether you need a one-time visit or an ongoing plan. Ask about the proposed scope and costs before deciding to book. Call to discuss the work needed and request a quote for your property.
