The Problem: A valued Austin homeowner, having previously utilized our services for a squirrel exclusion, contacted Prickly Pear Wildlife about a new concern. A small colony of 5-7 bats had established a roost behind decorative wooden accent features on the exterior of their Tarrytown residence, situated approximately 10-15 feet high near the pool area. The homeowner sought a professional, humane solution to remove the bats and prevent their return.

The Solution: Our skilled technicians conducted a thorough assessment and implemented a precise exclusion strategy. Custom-cut pieces of snake fence, approximately 1.25 inches in width, were meticulously installed into the vertical support boards where the wooden planks were mounted. This created a secure, one-way barrier, allowing bats to exit naturally without re-entry. During the process, one bat was safely removed by hand, negating the need for a one-way valve. All three decorative panels were sealed thoroughly at their tops and bottoms, along with the adjacent window area, ensuring comprehensive protection. As an additional service, we offered a soft cleaning for the stained wood and stucco, demonstrating our commitment to property care.

The Outcome: The homeowner's Tarrytown residence is now completely free of bats, thanks to Prickly Pear Wildlife's expert exclusion services. The strategic sealing of entry points provides a durable and discreet solution, ensuring long-term peace of mind. Our prompt and humane approach, coupled with our commitment to thoroughness, reinforces the homeowner's trust in our comprehensive wildlife solutions, building on our history of successful service at their property.
