Bat Control & Removal in Olive Branch, MS

Bats play a crucial role in our ecosystem as natural insect controllers, but when they take up residence in your home, they can cause significant damage and serious health risks. Several bat species are common in Mississippi and Tennessee, including Little Brown bats, Big Brown bats, and Mexican free-tailed bats, which frequently establish colonies in attics, wall voids, and chimneys.

Signs of a bat infestation include small entry points typically 3/8 to 1/2 inch in size, often located near rooflines, vents, or chimney flashing. You might notice dark staining around these openings from body oils and guano. Many homeowners first become aware of bats when hearing scratching or squeaking noises at dusk or dawn as bats exit or return to their roost. Accumulated guano (bat droppings) in attics or visible on exterior walls is another clear indication of an established colony.

Common Issues Caused by Bat Infestations

When bats colonize your home, they create several serious problems:

  • Their guano accumulates quickly, causing strong odors and creating ideal conditions for histoplasmosis, a serious respiratory disease.
  • Urine saturation damages ceilings, walls, and insulation, leading to staining and structural deterioration.
  • Large colonies can cause significant insulation compression and contamination, increasing energy costs.
  • Their parasites, including bat bugs (similar to bed bugs), can migrate into living spaces.
  • Noise disturbances from scratching, squeaking, and movement, particularly during dawn and dusk.
  • Potential direct contact with humans or pets, raising concerns about rabies exposure.

At Magnolia Wildlife Solutions, our trained professionals understand bat biology and behavior, including the federal and state laws protecting these beneficial but problematic creatures. We implement legal, humane solutions that protect both your property and these important mammals.

  • Vernon Thompson
    We had Jay with Magnolia Wildlife Solutions to come out and inspect the outside of our home for 🐿🐿. They were eating my Mandavillas and loud scratching in the walls. Jay was able to assist by setting up traps at the access points they had created to our actic. He then sat traps around the patio. The next day Tanner and Kyle with MWS came out to seal up the entire outside of our home from any size animals trying to get in. MWS did catch a total of 6 squirrels (2 adults and 4 babies). What a fantastic job MWS did during the entire process. We are so greatful for their prompt response and expertise in handling this and would recommend their services to anyone! Thanks again MWS for saving our home and giving us our peace of mind! Vernon & Michelle
  • Eric J
    The crew did a great job. They captured my lovely yard guest the first night. The next morning they were there to evict her. The next night another friend was captured. Jay recommended a mess netting be placed around the perimeter of my shed. They did a great job installing the netting. It was a bit pricy but worth getting rid of the problem. Thanks guys.
  • Keanna Winters
    Jay came out within 15 minutes on a holiday to take away the snake. I love my patio and definitely don’t want any snakes crawling around. He provided quality service and gave me a peace of mind. Thanks again Jay!!
  • Felisha Brownlee
    For the last year & half, I've been battling an armadillo issue...Naively, I was hoping the critter would leave on its own & roam elsewhere. However that wasn't the case; and it continue to destroy all three of my flowerbeds. Out of frustration, I contacted several critter control/removal companies. Some companies were overpriced or didn't return my phone call; while others didnt even offer armadillo removal service at that time...Even though, it was advertised on their site ! Magnolia Wildlife was very considerate of my complex work schedule; and agreed to take on the challenge after viewing my damaged flowerbeds via cell phone's photos. The company promptly addressed my issue and kept me well informed throughout the entire process. They came out daily to check the traps and moved them around the premises. It only took two days before trapping the armadillo (pictured below)...And he trapped another armadillo two more days later !! 😳 The owner (Jay) was very patient and empathetic when my fear and anxiety arose after the second armadillo's entrapment...He returned every call/text in a timely manner ! Thanks again Magnolia Wildlife for saving my flowerbeds !!..Now, Im off to Digger O'Dell Nursery to replenish them 🤗
  • Martha Plaster
    We were noticing a skunk smell in mom’s bedroom and didn’t have an idea how to go about finding if there were skunks under the house. Jay was recommended by the pest control she uses and I had also found his company had good reviews after a search on the internet. Jay came out quickly and worked to get the animals out from the crawl space and sealed the access to the crawl space so she won’t have to deal with this again. It was quite the adventure watching the traps but glad it is over.
  • Jerry Slocum
    Jay does a great job! He was responsive and kept me up to date on progress. Magnolia Wildlife helped me remove beavers from a detention pond after their dams caused flooding. I would highly recommend.
  • Kendale hutton
    I really appreciate Jay. He was very quick to respond and very professional. I hope I do not see any more snakes but if I by chance see one I will be giving Magnolia Wildlife(Jay) a call again.
  • Jeff Gerring
    I woke up to the horrifying sound of mice scratching away inside my walls on a Saturday morning. Since it was the weekend, I didn’t think that anybody would be in the office to take my call so I submitted a request online. Jay called me back within 30 minutes of my request.Not only was he very responsive, but he came out for the initial consultation on a Sunday, which is unheard of! Jay and his team were prompt, professional and communicative and took care of our issue right away. Strongly recommend using Magnolia Wildlife for any pest removal needs!
  • Ten days ago, we had squirrels nesting in our attic and tearing up the place, driving us and our dog up the walls with the scratching sounds. Now they're out, the damage is repaired with concrete and steel in a way that looks almost like they were never here in the first place, and frankly, good luck to any more little buggers tryna get in again. The Magnolia Wildlife Solutions folks did an excellent job. Will absolutely use these folks again if we need them for some other reason, but I don't think squirrels nesting in this house is gonna be an issue ever again.

    Jay and his crew were easy to work with. They were thorough, knowledgeable, and professional. The solutions they provided seem to have solved our critter issues both short and long term.

Effective Bat Exclusion & Removal

Our bat removal process follows strict protocols designed for effectiveness while complying with wildlife protection laws. Bats cannot legally be killed or trapped like other wildlife—they must be properly excluded.

We begin with a comprehensive inspection to identify all entry points and determine colony size. Using specialized equipment, we install one-way exclusion devices that allow bats to exit but prevent re-entry. Once all bats have safely vacated, we thoroughly clean and decontaminate affected areas to eliminate health hazards. We then seal all entry points with durable materials and implement preventative measures to deter future colonies.

Timing is crucial with bat removal—certain seasons require special consideration due to maternal colonies. Our experts understand these critical timing factors and plan accordingly to ensure legally compliant, effective removal.
