Professional Bat Inspection in Sioux Falls, SD

Found a Bat in Your Sioux Falls Home?

If you suspect bats in your Sioux Falls home a professional bat inspection is the first step. You cannot fix a problem you do not fully understand. Maybe you heard scratching sounds in the attic last night. Maybe you spotted droppings near your roofline. Maybe a bat showed up inside your living room and you want to know how it got in.

We come out to your Sioux Falls home and answer every one of those questions at no cost to you. The inspection is completely free. No obligation. No pressure. Just a clear honest picture of what is going on in your home so you can make a smart decision about what to do next.

What We Inspect on Your Property

We do not stand in your driveway and guess. We get on the roof. We get in the attic. We check every inch of your home where bats could possibly get in or set up a colony. Here is exactly what our technicians look for during a bat inspection in Sioux Falls.

• Roofline and Roof Edge: We check every gap along the roof edge where shingles meet fascia boards. This is the number one entry point for bats in Sioux Falls homes. Bats squeeze through gaps as small as 3/8 of an inch and aging rooflines give them plenty of opportunity.
• Soffits and Fascia: Cracked, warped or loose soffit panels are an open invitation for bats. We inspect every soffit section around the perimeter of your home and flag anything that a bat could push through.
• Gable Vents and Roof Vents: Improperly screened or damaged vents are a common entry point especially in newer Sioux Falls construction where builders sometimes skip proper wildlife screening during installation.
• Chimney and Chimney Flashing: Gaps around chimney flashing are easy to miss if you do not know what to look for. We check the base of every chimney and the flashing seams where bats commonly slip through.
• Attic Interior: We go inside your attic and look for signs of an active or past colony. Live bats, guano accumulation, urine staining, damaged insulation and entry point light gaps all tell us exactly what is happening and how long it has been going on.
• Foundation and Siding Gaps: Bats do not always enter from the top. We check lower level gaps where siding meets the foundation, around utility line penetrations and anywhere building materials meet and leave a small opening.

How Long Does a Bat Inspection Take?

A full bat inspection on a typical Sioux Falls home takes about 45 minutes to an hour. Larger homes or properties with complex rooflines take a bit longer. We do not rush it. Missing one entry point means the whole job fails down the line, so we take the time to do it right.

You do not need to prepare anything before we arrive. Just let us know where you have been hearing or seeing activity and we start there.

Why You Should Not Skip a Professional Inspection

A lot of homeowners try to check their attic themselves before calling. We get it. But here is what happens almost every time you find one entry point, miss three others and assume the problem is smaller than it actually is.

Bats are quiet, small and hide deep in attic spaces where a flashlight and a quick look will not find them. A trained technician knows exactly where to search, what signs to look for and how to read the evidence a colony leaves behind.

A missed entry point means bats come back. A missed colony means the guano keeps building. Getting the inspection right is what makes everything after it work.
