Wildlife Removal in Hanahan, SC

Hanahan has a significant stock of homes built in the 1960s and 1970s, particularly in the neighborhoods around Rivers Avenue and Hanahan Drive. These homes were built with construction standards of that era: aluminum soffit, louvered gable vents with metal screens that have since corroded, and ridge gaps that have widened over decades. Bats exploit gaps as small as 3/8 of an inch, and these aging details provide consistent access. We find bat colonies in this housing stock more than in any newer construction.

First, we inspect the full exterior to find every entry point. We identify the species (most commonly free-tailed, big brown, evening, or tricolored bats) and check where we are relative to the exclusion windows SCDNR recommends. Outside pup season, we install exclusion doors over active entry points, seal all secondary entries, and allow the colony to exit over 1 to 3 weeks. Then we seal the primary entries, remove the exclusion devices, and if needed, schedule attic cleanup for the guano that was left behind.
