CWR Cleans Attics After Raccoons
Although kids in Ohio think that raccoons look like cute cuddly bandits because of their signature black masks, adults know all to well that they are well adapted to urban living, are expert thieves and can be a nuisance – and a potential health hazard.
Before you try to clean an attic after a raccoon infestation, you have to first get rid of raccoons and keep them out. You can hire a professional raccoon removal and exclusion service such as the Cottom’s Wildlife Removal company or do-it-yourself.
Please do not use an attic fogger, bug bomb or a smoke bomb to get rid of raccoons because it is not humane. The most humane way to get rid of raccoons in an attic or chimney is to use a one-way door and exclude them from returning.

Bat Removal And Bat Control Services In Cleveland, Columbus And Cincinnati, Ohio
PICTURED HERE ARE 2 BAT EXCLUSION EXPERTS, ALEX SVENSEN AND JASON NEITENBACH WORKING ON A “BAT PROOFING” JOB IN PAINESVILLE, OHIO IN MAY OF 2021 – Alex and Jason understand bat-handling, bat control techniques, bat biology and bat habitats. Exclusion is the best way for eliminating and preventing bats from residing in structures in Ohio. CRW bat exclusion experts avoid trapping young pups and prevent bats from relocating in the structure through other openings. The CRW “bat crews” repair or modify attics, soffits and roofs when necessary. Although the work can be tedious and occasionally painful, Alex and Jason locate all active and potential openings available to bats. The CRW “bat men” climb ladders a lot and also use machine lifts when necessary. They identify active holes by guano, rub marks and smells. These two courageous CRW bat management experts look for gaps or openings around chimneys, fireplaces, plumbing, piping, exhaust vents, attic doors or hatches, windowsills, pet doors, air conditioners, power ventilators, ducts and louver fans. Broken windows, damaged door screens and open windows allow bats to get into buildings. Because bats use some of the same holes in buildings where heated or cooled air is lost, “bat proofing” minimized energy costs for CRW customers in colder climates such as Ohio. Except for the actively used holes, CRW bat control professionals seal all gaps of ¼ x 1½ inches and openings 5/8 x 7/8 inch or greater. CRW bat exclusion experts are fully cognizant that sealing gaps can have terrible effects on bat pups if done at the wrong time of year.
Hire The Best Bat Control Company In Ohio
PICTURED HERE ARE 6 PROFESSIONAL BAT CONTROL EXPERTS AND ATTIC RESTORATION SPECIALISTS IN OHIO – This humane bat removal company picture was taken in Cleveland, Ohio on May 26, 2021. Bat removal specialists shown in the picture (left to right) are Kyle Fortune, Tyler Phillips, Alex Svensen, Nathan Lang, Mike Cottom Jr. and Jason Neitenbach. Bats can live up to four decades and come out on warm nights to find insects. To schedule an inspection and consultation in Ohio, contact the Cottom’s Wildlife Removal company.
It is recommended that Ohio homeowners call a specialty bat control company to inspect their home if they see a bat inside a living space.
CRW is a local (Ohio only) bat control service that does not exterminate bats or use live traps to catch bats. The wildlife professionals at CRW will not kill your bats. Rather, bats are safely removed from homes and buildings in Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo, Dayton, Canton, Mansfield, Hamilton, Springfield, Lancaster and Cincinnati, Ohio through the wise use of bat exclusion processes and devices.
CRW bat control “wizards” use multiple bat exclusion processes, one-way bat doors (bat valves), bat exclusion devices, funnels (cones), netting and tubes to get bats out.
The 6 bat removal masters (pictured here) that work at the Cottom’s Wildlife Removal company certainly know the tricks to getting rid of bats in houses. One secret trick to get rid of a single bat in a living space is to open a window or door, eureka!
These 6 gentlemen are very well educated for performing bat exclusion, bat eviction, bat venting and bat poop cleanup services. Alex, Kyle, Nathan, Mike, Tyler and Jason know how to clean environments contaminated with bat droppings in residential and commercial structures. CRW bat control specialists know how to minimize the potential for transmission of white-nose syndrome (WNS) when handling bats. They take all the necessary precautions when handling bat waste. CRW bat control technicians can see the signs and damage caused by various species of bats. CWR bat control technicians use the best protective particulate respirator masks when removing bat droppings from outside houses, attics, walls and cars. Learn more about acceptable management practices for bat eviction and structural remediation, here.
Co-Existing With Bats In Ohio
Bats come out in Ohio and are active March through September.
Some Ohio residents call the Cottom’s Wildlife Removal company to ask if one bat in their house means they have more.
HIRE THE BEST BAT CONTROL COMPANY IN OHIO – The 6 bat removal specialists pictured here provide reliable bat colony control solutions and bat guano cleanup services to Ohio businesses and homeowners. Homeowner’s insurance does not normally cover bat removal exclusion services in Ohio, but some policies cover the cost of attic restoration services. Bats in Ohio are beneficial because they eat insects and feed on many agricultural pests. The exclusion of more than 15 individual bats from a structure in Ohio during the time period of May 16th through July 31st requires written authorization from the Division of Wildlife (DOW) under Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) 1501:31-15-03. To apply for a bat exclusion authorization, please complete and return a Bat Exclusion Authorization Application to the Ohio Division of Wildlife. You can also contact ODNR Division of Wildlife customer service at 1-800-WILDLIFE (945-3543) or email wildinfo@dnr.state.oh.us. To schedule an inspection and bat exclusion services contact the Cottom’s Wildlife Removal company at 440-236-8114 in Cleveland or Northern Ohio, 614-300-2763 in Columbus or Central Ohio or 513-808-9530 in Cincinnati or Southern Ohio. Bats in Ohio are not dangerous and they will not attack you. Bat-strain rabies is present everywhere in Ohio with rabid bats having been identified from nearly all of Ohio’s counties over the years.
CWR bat control experts advise our clients that there is a good chance there are more bats in the walls or attic, if one is seen inside the house.
Bats rarely fly in through open doors and their presence on a wall or ceiling is probably an indication of a minor or major bat infestation.
A thorough inspection is recommended to find out if there are more bats in the house.
Humans and bats can live in peace with each other. Bats are flying mammals that are found in nearly every habitat throughout Ohio.
Ohioans should not fear bats simply because they enter attic spaces, construction gaps and wall voids looking for shelter.
Most bites occur happen when people try to grab a bat with their bare hands.
The Little brown bat is Ohio’s most common species of bat. Two Ohio bat species live in houses and attics; the Big brown bat and the Little brown bat.
In Ohio, bats normally hibernate from late October to early April in caves, houses, walls, barns, churches, bridges, abandoned mines, cracks in large rock outcroppings or attics and buildings.
Bats in Cleveland, Ohio include the Eastern Red Bat, the Big brown bat, the Northern Long-Eared bat, the Little brown bat and the Tri-colored Bat.
The Hoary bat is the largest bat found in Ohio and most widespread American bat. The Hoary bat can weigh up to 35 grams.
In Ohio however, the Little brown bat population size has declined dramatically due to habitat loss and a deadly disease (fungus) known as White-nose Syndrome (WNS).
The deadly white-nose syndrome has been found on bats in Cuyahoga and Geauga County parks in Ohio.
Some colonies of brown bats removed in Ohio by licensed wildlife control specialists at CWR may total a dozen or more.
Bats are mammals that use adapted forelimbs as wings to fly and they are more maneuverable than birds.
The Ohio Division of Natural Resources classifies bats as a nuisance species. Some of the most common species of bats that the Cottom’s Wildlife Removal company gets out of attics and homes in Ohio are colonial bats such as Big brown bats, Little brown bats and Mexican free-tailed bats.
According to Barbara French, a biologist with Bat Conservation International, many people have a few bats in their attic and never know it.
But a large colony of bats can become a noise or odor nuisance. Bats should not be allowed to enter interior living quarters.

USDA Resolves Wildlife Conflicts in Ohio
Every day, the Wildlife Services (WS) program in Ohio helps citizens, organizations, industries, and Government agencies resolve conflicts with wildlife to protect agriculture, other property, and natural resources, and to safeguard human health and safety. WS’ professional wildlife biologists and specialists implement effective, selective, and responsible strategies that value wildlife, the environment, and the resources being protected. WS manages wildlife damage according to its public trust stewardship responsibilities as a Federal natural resource management program. The program supports the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation, based on the principle that wildlife resources are owned collectively and held in trust by Government for the benefit of present and future generations.
WS oversees a multitude of programs and projects within Ohio to resolve human/wildlife conflicts. WS works on airports to prevent aircraft-wildlife collisions. WS conducts disease surveillance to monitor wildlife diseases that threaten the health of people, pets, livestock, and wildlife. WS provides leadership and is a member of the Ohio Rabies Taskforce, and works year-round to stop raccoon variant rabies (RVR) from spreading westward and to eliminate the disease from the State.
Ohio’s livestock producers and crop farmers rely on WS’ expertise in resolving conflicts with wildlife such as coyotes, black vultures, feral swine, and blackbirds. As a member of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Task Force, WS-Ohio works to reduce predation on threatened species of turtles, manage mute swans to support trumpeter swan introduction and eliminate feral swine populations to protect natural resources and agriculture in the Lake Erie Region of Ohio. WS works with local communities to reduce wildlife conflicts in urban areas.

The mission of the Fish and Wildlife Service is “working with others, to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.” The Ohio Field Office uses that mission statement to guide all their our activities.

Raccoons In Ohio [From The Ohio Department Of Health]
Raccoons can be found throughout the state and in all habitat types, with the majority being found in northwestern and central Ohio along rivers and streams bordering farmland habitats. They have also moved into suburban and urban areas and can live almost any place where there is food for them to eat and a den to serve as shelter. Many of them live, temporarily at least, in drain tiles and sewer systems. Raccoons defecate in communal sites called latrines. They are nocturnal and are up and about during the dark hours of the night. Even though raccoons do not really hibernate, they can sleep for days, and even weeks at a time, during the cold winter months. Read more here.
