Bats Control
in Lakewood.
Professional bats treatment across Lakewood. Humane bat exclusion + guano cleanup, compliant with Colorado wildlife regs.
Bats are a recurring concern across the Denver metro, and Lakewood is no exception. Lakewood's western edge meets the foothills, creating heavy wildlife pressure — bears, deer, raccoons, and squirrels all use the urban-wildland interface. Bear Creek and Sloan's Lake provide additional water and habitat corridors. Mid-city portions are flatter and more typical Denver-metro tract housing. Bats love attics, soffit cavities, chimney voids, and any warm dark protected space they can enter through a 1/2-inch gap. They especially favor older homes with heavy soffit detail and chimney flashing irregularities.
Front Range bat populations migrate in spring and seek roosts in early summer. Older Denver homes with original soffit and fascia construction are highest risk; newer homes with damaged soffit screening can also become roost sites. In Lakewood specifically, foothill proximity drives heavy rodent, squirrel, and wildlife pressure especially in green mountain and bear creek areas. mature trees mean carpenter ant satellite nests are common. older housing stock with original wood windows is highly vulnerable to box elder bug, stink bug, and silverfish overwintering. compounds the picture — meaning Lakewood homes face bats pressure that's distinct from the metro average.
EPC has run bats jobs across every corner of Lakewood. Lakewood housing is heavy on 1950s–70s ranches and split-levels. Older construction means rubble foundations, original wood windows, and dated weatherstripping — all rodent and overwintering-pest entry points. Newer west-side neighborhoods have tighter envelopes but face heavier wildlife and carpenter ant pressure due to foothill proximity. Our approach is humane bat exclusion + guano cleanup, compliant with colorado wildlife regs.
How EPC Treats Bats in Lakewood
Inspection and Entry-Point Mapping
Tech identifies primary and secondary entry points (often pencil-sized gaps in soffit corners, around chimney flashing, or where roof meets wall). Bats use openings as small as 1/2 inch.
One-Way Valve Installation
Specialized check valves installed at active entry points. Bats exit normally to feed; they can't re-enter. After 5–7 days, the roost is empty.
Final Exclusion + Sealing
Once the roost is confirmed empty, all primary and secondary openings are sealed permanently with hardware cloth, foam, and exterior-grade sealant.
Guano Cleanup + Decontamination
Attic guano removed (HEPA-filtered respirators required), insulation replaced if soaked, and surfaces decontaminated. Critical for indoor air quality and histoplasmosis risk reduction.
Signs of Bats in Lakewood Homes
- Bats observed entering or exiting the home at dusk/dawn
- Brown staining around small roof or soffit openings (oil from bat fur)
- Strong ammonia odor in attic (guano accumulation)
- Black pellet droppings on walls below roost entry points
- Squeaking or rustling sounds in attic at dusk and dawn
- Bats found indoors (a single bat in a bedroom is a rabies-exposure event — call us immediately)
Bats Prevention for Lakewood Properties
- Annual roof and soffit inspection — catch openings before bats find them
- Cap chimneys and seal flashing gaps, especially around dormer junctions
- Maintain attic vents with proper screening (1/4-inch hardware cloth)
- Exterior porch lights attract insects which attract bats — switch to yellow LEDs
- Don't disturb a roost yourself — exclusion timing matters legally and biologically
