Bat Colony Removal in Mullan

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 Mullan and the Silver Valley, North Idaho region

Mullan lies high in the Bitterroot Mountains of Shoshone County, the easternmost town in the Silver Valley along the South Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River near the Montana state line. Named for Captain John Mullan, who built a military road through the region, the town grew as a hard-rock silver and lead mining community, and the Lucky Friday Mine still operates nearby. Steep, forested mountainsides of fir, cedar, and pine rise on all sides, and Interstate 90 follows the narrow river canyon through town toward Lookout Pass. Historic miners' cottages and brick downtown buildings reflect the early-1900s boom, set against a deep valley with cold, snowy winters. The combination of river bottom, mine workings, and surrounding national forest defines Mullan's rugged mountain setting.

The forested Bitterroot slopes, the South Fork canyon, and the many old mine workings around Mullan create strong bat habitat, since abandoned tunnels and adits serve as roosting and hibernation sites. Little brown myotis and big brown bats are the species most likely to roost in buildings, while long-legged myotis, long-eared myotis, and Townsend's big-eared bats use forest snags and mine openings. Historic miners' cottages and downtown buildings offer attic and wall voids where bats can settle through the warm summer months.
