Bat Removal in Craig, Colorado

Colorado Wildlife Specialists provides professional, licensed bat removal throughout Craig and Moffat County. Craig is Yampa River valley hub in northwest Colorado. Bats return to the same roost each year unless professionally excluded — our team delivers humane, permanent results backed by our 2-Year Bat-Free Guarantee.

Why Craig Homes Are Vulnerable to Bat Entry

Located in Northwest Colorado, Craig experiences Colorado’s seasonal temperature swings that gradually open gaps in building materials. Bats can enter through openings as small as 3/8 of an inch, and once a colony establishes a roost, they return to the same site each year — making early professional intervention critical to preventing long-term damage and health hazards.

Signs of Bats in Your Craig Home

Dark grease stains and rub marks around small gaps in your roofline, fascia, soffits, or chimney
Bat guano (droppings) accumulating below roofline overhangs, near your foundation, or in your attic
Strong ammonia odor from attic spaces or wall cavities, especially in warm weather
Chirping, scratching, or fluttering sounds in walls or ceilings at dusk
Bats visibly exiting your roofline at twilight — the clearest confirmation of an active colony

Bat Species Found in Craig, Colorado

Colorado is home to 18 bat species. The most common in Craig structures are the Big Brown Bat (Eptesicus fuscus) — the dominant attic bat throughout Northwest Colorado — and the Little Brown Bat (Myotis lucifugus), frequently found in smaller wall voids and behind shutters. Both are fully protected by Colorado state law. Killing, trapping, or poisoning bats is illegal; only licensed humane exclusion is permitted.
