Bat Removal & Exclusion Tampa Bay

Bats provide incredible benefits to our ecosystem, but a bat colony roosting in your attic or soffit is a serious health and property concern. Florida law regulates when bats can be excluded from structures to protect their breeding season.

August 15
Season Opens
πŸ¦‡
Bat Exclusion Season
April 15
Season Closes

During the legal bat exclusion season (August 15 through April 15), Critter Gitter Service performs professional one-way exclusion devices that allow bats to exit but not re-enter your home. Don't wait β€” if you miss the window, you may be waiting until next August!

Signs of bats in your home include: scratching noises at dusk, dark staining near roofline gaps, guano (droppings) accumulation, and chirping sounds in walls or attic. We serve all Tampa Bay communities including Clearwater, Palm Harbor, New Port Richey, Lutz, and more.

I had armadillos completely destroying my lawn in New Port Richey. Critter Gitter showed up the same day I called, set traps, and within 2 days had caught 3 armadillos! My yard looks great now. Highly recommend this company!

Raccoons got into my attic in Clearwater and made an absolute mess. I called several companies but Critter Gitter was the only one who could come same day. They found the entry point, set traps, and took care of everything. Professional and reasonably priced!

We had bats in our soffit in Palm Harbor and had no idea what to do. Critter Gitter explained the whole bat exclusion process and legal season timeframe. They handled everything professionally and the bats are gone. Worth every penny!

Squirrels got in through a vent and nested in my attic in Lutz. Critter Gitter found 3 entry points I never would have found myself, removed the squirrels, and sealed everything up. No more scratching sounds at night! Incredible job.

Had rats in my walls in Tarpon Springs β€” a nightmare situation. Critter Gitter came out quickly, did a full inspection, found the access points along the roofline, set traps, and followed up until the problem was completely resolved. These guys know what they're doing!

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about wildlife removal services in Tampa Bay, FL.

Do you offer same-day wildlife removal service?
Yes! Critter Gitter Service offers same-day service availability across our Tampa Bay service area. This includes Largo, Clearwater, New Port Richey, Palm Harbor, Lutz, Carrollwood, and more. Call us at 813.785.9117 early in the day to maximize same-day availability.
When can you remove bats from my home in Florida?
Florida law protects bats during their maternity season (April 15 – August 14) when pups cannot yet fly. Critter Gitter Service provides bat exclusion and removal services from August 15 through April 15. If you have bats, don't wait β€” call us before the April 15 deadline or you'll need to wait until August.
What areas do you serve in Tampa Bay?
We serve the entire Tampa Bay area across three counties. In Pinellas County: Largo, Clearwater, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Ozona, Safety Harbor, and Oldsmar. In Pasco County: Holiday, New Port Richey, and Port Richey. In Hillsborough County: Odessa, Lutz, Carrollwood, Northdale, and New Tampa.
How much does wildlife removal cost in Tampa Bay?
Pricing varies depending on the type of animal, severity of the situation, and location on your property. We provide transparent, upfront quotes with no hidden fees. Contact us at 813.785.9117 for a free phone consultation and quote.
Are your trapping methods humane?
Absolutely. We use humane live traps and professionally accepted removal methods that comply with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) regulations. Our goal is safe, effective removal that minimizes stress to the animal while solving your wildlife problem.
Do you remove venomous snakes in Florida?
Yes. We are trained to identify and safely remove all species of Florida snakes, including venomous species like water moccasins (cottonmouths), eastern diamondback rattlesnakes, pygmy rattlesnakes, and coral snakes. Never attempt to handle a snake on your own β€” call us immediately.
I have armadillos destroying my lawn β€” can you help?
Definitely! Armadillo damage is one of the most common calls we receive from homeowners in New Port Richey, Palm Harbor, and across Pinellas and Pasco County. Armadillos dig for grubs at night and can devastate a lawn quickly. We set traps and typically resolve armadillo problems within a few days.
What happens after the animal is removed?
After removal, we document the capture and provide recommendations for preventing future wildlife intrusions. We identify and advise on entry points, attractants, and habitat factors that contributed to the problem. Keeping critters out long-term is just as important as removing them.
