Bat Removal & Exclusion in Palm Harbor, FL
Bats in the attic require legal, humane exclusion — done right and within Florida law. Proudly serving Palm Harbor and all of Pinellas County.
From Crystal Beach, Ozona, Lansbrook to the rest of Palm Harbor, Palm Harbor homeowners trust Taps Pest Services for reliable bat removal & exclusion. Bats are protected under Florida law, and it's illegal to trap, harm, or exclude them during maternity season (April 16 – August 14) when flightless pups are in the roost. The Brazilian (Mexican) free-tailed bat is the species most often found colonizing Tampa Bay attics, soffits, and rooflines, followed by evening and big brown bats. They squeeze through gaps as small as 3/8 inch near the roofline, gable vents, and ridge caps, and the colony returns and grows year after year if it isn't excluded. We perform legal, humane bat exclusion using one-way devices that let bats leave but never get back in, then seal every entry point and safely clean up the guano.
Palm Harbor's wooded, upscale north Pinellas neighborhoods near the Gulf draw mosquitoes, ants, spiders, and wildlife. We tailor treatment to Palm Harbor's homes and landscaping.

Is it legal to remove bats in Florida?
Yes, but only through humane exclusion — never trapping or killing. Florida law prohibits bat exclusion during maternity season (April 16–August 14), when flightless pups would be trapped inside and die. We schedule and perform exclusions legally, outside that window.
What kind of bats get into attics in Tampa Bay?
The Brazilian (Mexican) free-tailed bat is by far the most common attic colonizer around Riverview and Tampa, along with evening bats and big brown bats. They're drawn to warm, dark, undisturbed attics and roost in colonies that grow year after year if not excluded.
