Chapel Hill (Orange County) bat exclusion quote prep
Chapel Hill bat jobs are exclusion, not extermination, and the timing depends on North Carolina’s maternity window
In Chapel Hill and Orange County, getting bats out of an attic means one-way exclusion — sealing every gap except one exit and fitting a one-way device so bats can leave but not return — not killing them. North Carolina restricts bat exclusion during the maternity season from May 1 through July 31, when flightless pups would be trapped inside, so the provider needs to know the entry points, signs, and timing before quoting sealing and guano cleanup.
Point to where you see bats exiting or staining at dusk — a gable or ridge vent, soffit or fascia gap, chimney, or roofline edge — and roughly how many, since a full-home seal with a one-way device is what keeps them from re-entering.
Note the timing against North Carolina’s May 1–July 31 maternity window: if pups may be present, lawful exclusion usually waits until they can fly, so ask the provider how they handle season timing.
Because bat guano can carry histoplasmosis and any bat contact raises rabies questions, ask whether the quote covers guano cleanup and sanitation, full-home sealing with a warranty, and confirm the provider routes protected-species and health questions to the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and public health.
