Scratching above the ceiling at dusk. Squeaking in the wall on hot afternoons. A bat circling the bedroom at midnight. Bats are protected wildlife in Utah — you can't poison them, and traps don't work. The only fix that lasts is exclusion: one-way exits that let the colony leave, then a full seal-up so they can't come back. That's precision work on your building's envelope, and it's exactly what we do.
A bat squeezes through a gap the width of your thumb — ridge caps, gable vents, chimney chases, soffit returns. Here's what shows up most.
Scratching and squeaking above the ceiling at dusk, a growing smell, staining at the entry gap. Attic colonies are almost always maternity colonies — and they return to the same roost every summer until the building is properly excluded and sealed.
Bats don't need a hole — they need a gap. Ridge caps, gable vents, chimney chases, flashing, and soffit returns all qualify. We inspect the entire envelope, find every entry the colony is using, and seal the ones they'd use next.
A bat circling the living room means there's a way in — and usually a roost nearby. After any possible direct contact, talk to your doctor or health department first. Then we find how it got in and make sure it's the last one that does.
Bats are loyal to a roost for years. Utah's rules also protect maternity colonies — excluding at the wrong time seals flightless pups inside the structure. We time the exclusion to the legal window so it works the first time, permanently.
Sound familiar? Let's take a look at your building.

The scope depends on the size of the structure, how many entry points it has, how accessible the roof line is, and where the colony is roosting. A tight rambler with one gable gap and a rangy mountain home with a hundred feet of ridge line are completely different jobs.
That's why we don't post prices: we'd either be guessing high or guessing low. We look at the building, design the exclusion, and hand you one clear proposal — done right and warrantied, so you're not paying for the same colony every summer.
Effective bat exclusion starts with understanding the animal — how it navigates, where it roosts, when the pups can fly. Every Falcon bat exclusion is designed by Trent Frazer, BCE, and built to work with the biology instead of against it.
Falcon Pest Control performs humane, legal bat exclusion across Park City, Heber City, and the Wasatch Back — attic colonies, bats behind shutters and soffits, and single bats getting inside. Exclusions are designed by Trent Frazer, BCE #B3413, and quoted after a free site assessment. Call or text (801) 477-0223.
Bats are protected wildlife in Utah — poisoning them is illegal, and traps don't work. The legal, effective method is exclusion: one-way devices that let every bat leave on its own, followed by sealing every entry point. Timing matters: exclusions must avoid maternity season, when flightless pups would be sealed inside the structure.
Outside maternity season. In Utah, bat maternity colonies generally have flightless pups in early-to-mid summer; performing exclusion then traps pups inside the building — inhumane and against the rules. Falcon times every exclusion to the legal window so it works the first time, permanently.
Bat exclusion is an inspection-and-seal-up project, not a monthly plan. Cost depends on the size of the structure, the number of entry points, and roof access — a rambler with one gable gap and a mountain home with a hundred feet of ridge line are completely different jobs.
