Oxynene service guide
Bat proofing
Bats sometimes roost in roof voids and other sheltered spaces, where droppings can cause odour and cleaning concerns. Because bats may be protected and play an important ecological role, exclusion needs specialist knowledge and careful timing.
Understand the problem
Details that help an assessment
A bat proofing assessment should identify entry and exit points and consider whether young bats may be present. Humane exclusion methods must follow applicable local requirements and should never trap animals inside a building.

Common questions
Can I seal the holes bats use to enter the roof?
Do not seal entry points while bats may be inside. A specialist should plan humane exclusion and confirm the appropriate timing.
