Bat Colony Removal in Minidoka

We install custom one-way exclusion devices at every entry point on the structure. Bats exit naturally but cannot return. The colony vacates in 5 to 10 days depending on size and season. After the colony has left, we remove the devices and seal every opening permanently. No trapping, no poison, no harm to the bats. Every exclusion is compliant with Idaho Fish and Game regulations and federal bat protection law.

About Minidoka and the Magic Valley region

Minidoka is a small community in Minidoka County, part of the Magic Valley region on the Snake River Plain. The name, of Dakota origin, was first applied to an Oregon Short Line railroad point in the 1880s, and the town grew as a rail and farming center. Irrigated cropland covers the southern reaches of the surrounding county, while lava beds and sagebrush flats stretch across the north, with elevations generally between 4,200 and 4,500 feet. The Snake River forms the county's southern boundary, and the Minidoka National Wildlife Refuge and Lake Walcott lie to the east. Grain elevators, older railroad-era buildings, and scattered farmsteads sit among open fields, irrigation canals, and the dry basalt landscape that defines this part of south-central Idaho.

The contrast of irrigated farmland, canals, and northern lava beds around Minidoka gives bats both water-rich foraging and natural rock crevices in the basalt flows. Big brown bats and little brown myotis are the species most apt to roost in buildings, with western small-footed myotis and pallid bats drawn to the lava and sagebrush country. Grain elevators, barns, and older railroad-era structures provide sheltered roosting space, and bats can enter through gaps in siding, eaves, and attic vents during the warm season.
