Quick answer. Critter Guys provides bat removal in Titusville, FL using humane exclusion. We locate the roost and every gap the bats use, seal the unused openings, install one-way devices on the active ones so the colony leaves at dusk, and then seal the rest and clean up guano. Work is never done April 15 through August 14. To have us look at your Titusville roost, call or text (321) 203-6963.
How to tell bats are roosting in your Titusville home
Titusville homeowners usually spot one of these before they ever see a bat up close.
Guano on the lanai or driveway
Small dark droppings that crumble to a glittery dust, piled under the same spot on the eave or wall.
Bats leaving at sunset
Watch the roof line at dusk. A stream of bats heading out over the neighborhood toward the water means a roost.
Stains around a gap
Brown, greasy marks around a crack in the soffit, a vent or behind a shutter.
Squeaks in the wall
High-pitched chatter in a wall or ceiling in the late afternoon, before the evening flight.
A sharp ammonia smell
Large colonies leave enough guano and urine that you can smell it inside on hot days.
Why bats gather near the lagoon
The Indian River Lagoon, the marshes of Merritt Island and the wetlands along the St. Johns to the west all produce huge numbers of insects. Bats feed over that water every night, and they roost in the closest dry, protected spot they can find. In Titusville, that’s often a house.
Brazilian free-tailed bats and evening bats are the two species we see most often in Florida buildings. They squeeze into very small gaps, especially in older homes with weathered trim and storm damage.
- Gaps behind fascia and trim boards
- Spaces under barrel tile and ridge caps
- Openings behind decorative shutters
- Torn gable vent screens
- Cracks where an addition meets the house

Our bat removal process in Titusville
Florida bats are protected, so all bat removal is exclusion. Here’s how we do it.
Inspect and watch the flight
We check the roof line and attic and often watch at dusk to find exactly where the bats come out.
Close the unused gaps
Every opening the bats aren’t actively using gets sealed first, so they’re funneled to the exits we control.
Install one-way devices
One-way tubes or netting go over the active exits. Each bat that leaves for the night’s hunt finds the way home blocked.
Final seal and cleanup
Once the roost is empty, the devices come down and the last gaps are sealed. Guano can then be removed through our Titusville attic cleanup.

Josh from the Critter Guys did an excellent job explaining the process for removal of bats. He emphasized the humane aspect by coming back several times to ensure that all the bats were no longer on our property. He then sealed all opening to our soffit and removed the bat trap. Josh went beyond what we expected. When we called to provide updates he always answered and listened to us. I highly recommend this company and a huge shout-out to Josh. Thank you Critter Guys Humane wildlife services for a job well done.

Plan bat work outside April 15 to August 14
That window is Florida’s bat maternity season, when pups can’t fly yet. Exclusion during that time would trap them inside, so it isn’t done. Call early in spring or plan for late summer and fall.
Titusville buildings that attract bats
Many Titusville homes were built during the 1960s space program boom, and decades of sun, salt and storms have opened small gaps in their trim, soffits and vents. Older two-story buildings downtown and along Washington Avenue have similar wear. Bats don’t need much: a gap about the size of your thumb is often enough.
Businesses and HOA buildings near the river get bats too, under eaves, behind signs and in parking structure joints. We work on commercial properties the same way we do homes. For other animals around the property, see our animal removal in Titusville page.

Guano, health and what to avoid
The droppings left in a Titusville roost are the part that needs care, since bat guano is where the fungus behind histoplasmosis grows. Don’t sweep it or vacuum it with a regular vacuum, since that stirs up the dust. Bats are also one of the animals most often found with rabies in Florida, so never handle one with bare hands.
If you find a bat inside your living space, close the room off and call or text us. For more on bat exclusion across the region, see bat removal in Orlando. If the inspection turns up rodents as well, Titusville rat removal can be handled at the same time.

Titusville bat removal questions, answered
Have a question that isn’t here? Call or text (321) 203-6963 and we’ll help.
What does bat removal cost in Titusville?
We quote after an inspection. The size of the colony, how many gaps need sealing, the height of the building and the amount of guano to clean up all affect the price. You’ll see the full plan before work begins.
Can I get bats out of my Titusville house in summer?
Not between April 15 and August 14, which is maternity season. Pups can’t fly yet and would be trapped inside. We can inspect and plan during summer and do the exclusion right after the season ends.
Are the bats in my Titusville attic dangerous?
Most bats aren’t a threat if left alone, but they shouldn’t be handled. Bats are one of the animals most often found with rabies in Florida, and guano can carry the fungus behind histoplasmosis. Let us handle removal and cleanup.
Will the bats leave on their own?
Usually not for good. Bats return to the same roost year after year. Exclusion with one-way devices and sealing is what actually keeps them out.
Can I put up a bat house in my Titusville yard?
Yes, and it’s a good idea near the river. A bat house mounted on a pole away from your home gives the colony somewhere else to go, and they’ll still help with the mosquitoes.
