What homeowners should know
Bat Exclusion
Do not seal an active bat route without considering young or hibernation. Maine IF&W recommends avoiding colony exclusion during the mid-May to mid-August maternity period.
Open Bat Guide →Trapping & Trap Safety
Wildlife-control traps should not be moved, opened or disturbed by customers or bystanders. Call if there is a capture or concern.
Open Trapping Guide →Structural Exclusion
Find the active route, confirm whether wildlife or young may be inside, resolve occupancy, then make the durable repair. The sequence matters.
Open Exclusion Guide →Possible Rabies Exposure
A bat or other mammal exposure can require specific public-health steps. Do not release an animal that may need testing until exposure guidance is obtained.
Maine rabies guidance ↗Real Estate Walkthrough
Document visible conditions, avoid sealing active openings, and use a wildlife-specific evaluation when a red flag needs professional follow-up.
Open walkthrough app ↗Know the Scope
A wildlife evaluation is not a home inspection, structural engineering opinion, environmental test, code inspection or guarantee that concealed activity is absent.
