Psalms 73:26..My heart and flesh may fail, but God is the strength of my heart
How Do We Figure Out Where The Bats Are Getting In?
If you've made it this far, there's a good chance you're seeing several of the signs we talked about on the previous page. The next question we hear from homeowners almost every day is:
"Can you tell where they're getting in?"
The answer is yes—but it isn't as simple as finding one hole. Every home is built differently, and bats can use several different areas to enter. That's why every inspection begins with looking at the entire home, not just the place where you first noticed activity.
Let's walk through how we inspect a home and what we're looking for.
Do You Only Look Where I Saw The Bat?
We Start By Looking At The Whole House
Many homeowners point to the exact spot where they saw a bat or heard scratching, and that's always where we begin the conversation. But we don't stop there. Bats can enter a home in one area and end up somewhere completely different inside. That's why we inspect the entire exterior, looking for the places bats commonly use to get in before recommending any repairs.
What Parts Of My House Do You Look At?
Every Home Is Built A Little Differently
Some homes have dormers. Others have ridge vents, multiple rooflines, soffit returns, or areas where different building materials come together. Every house has its own construction details, so every inspection is customized to the home we're standing in—not based on a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Why Do You Take So Many Pictures?
How Do You Know Which Areas Actually Matter?
We Want You To See What We See
Most homeowners will never climb onto their roof, so we bring the roof down to you with pictures. We take overview photos of your home along with close-up pictures of anything we find. That way, you're not left wondering what we're talking about—you can see it for yourself.
How Do You Know Which Areas Actually Matter?
How Do You Know Which Areas Actually Matter?
We Follow The Evidence
Not every gap means bats are getting in. During the inspection, we're looking for signs that show us where bats have actually been using the home. Staining, droppings, rub marks, and other evidence help us separate normal construction gaps from active bat entry points.
Will You Explain What You Found?
You'll Know Exactly What We're Seeing
One of the most common things customers tell us is, "I had no idea that was up there." We take the time to explain what the pictures show, why certain areas matter, and answer any questions you have. Our goal is to help you understand your home before you decide what you'd like to do next.
How Do You Put Together My Estimate?
Every Home Receives A Customized Plan
No two homes are exactly alike, so no two bat estimates are exactly alike either. Once we've finished the inspection, we'll outline the areas that need attention, explain why they're important, and provide a customized plan designed specifically for your home.
