Why bats are common in Lakewood Park
Lakewood Park’s retention lakes and the pine flatwoods that ring this community north of Fort Pierce hatch the insects bats hunt after dark. Homes on wooded lots, many with screened lanais and long roof lines, give a colony quiet attic space near that food. We find the roost, exclude it lawfully, and close the gaps behind it.
The neighborhood lakes and the flatwoods along Five Mile Creek keep insect numbers high, and bats set up where that food sits within an easy dusk flight of a warm, dark attic. On Lakewood Park’s larger wooded lots, a single soffit or fascia gap is all a colony needs to move in.
Bats roost tightly in the attic ridge, leaving each evening to feed over the lakes and tree line and filing back before dawn through the same opening. Because Florida protects native bats and shields a maternity season from April 16 to August 14, a roost with pups present cannot be sealed until that period ends.
Florida law bars bat exclusion from April 16–August 14. Getting the timing wrong isn’t just ineffective — it’s illegal.
Signs of a bat problem in Lakewood Park
In Lakewood Park, these are the signs it's time to call — before the damage spreads.
Bats spilling out over the lake
At dusk you see them leaving a roof gap and heading straight for the retention lake to feed — that beeline from one spot marks the colony’s exit.
Droppings on a screened lanai
Small dark pellets collecting on the lanai screen or the deck below an eave usually sit directly under an active bat entry point.
Scratching along the ridge
Light scrabbling and high squeaks near the roof peak at dusk and dawn signal a colony shifting position inside the attic.
Spotting any of these in your Lakewood Park home? The sooner we inspect, the less damage spreads — and the inspection is free.
Our bat removal process in Lakewood Park
Four steps, one call — inspection, humane removal, sealing and follow-up, all documented.
Roost inspection
We confirm the species is legal to exclude, find every entry point, and check the calendar against maternity season.
One-way exclusion devices
Installed at active entries so bats leave to feed but cannot return — never trapping or harming them.
Seal the roost
Once the colony is confirmed out, we seal every gap at soffits, vents and ridge lines.
Guano remediation
We remove guano and contaminated insulation with HEPA and PPE, then sanitize and deodorize.

Call for same-day service · (772) 227-1522Bats are protected — and timing is the law
Every native bat in Florida is protected, and state law bars exclusion from April 16 through August 14, when flightless pups are in the roost. Sealing a colony in during that window is both inhumane and illegal. We time the one-way exclusion to the legal season, keep the devices up long enough to clear every bat, then remediate the guano.
- Last legal day to exclude before the window: April 15
- Exclusion reopens: August 15
- Never trapped, never harmed — exclusion only
Keeping bats away from Lakewood Park homes
Removing the bat is half the work. These steps keep the next one out of your Lakewood Park home.
After confirming the colony has gone, seal fascia, ridge and roof-line gaps to a quarter-inch with weatherproof material.
Screen soffit and gable vents on wooded-lot homes where bats slip in unnoticed.
Schedule exclusion outside the April 16–August 14 maternity season, as Florida law requires.
Inspect the attic yearly for fresh droppings or stains that flag a returning roost.
If wildlife returns through a spot we sealed, we come back at no charge. Satisfaction Guaranteed — If our exclusion fails, we take responsibility.
Why bat guano can’t just be swept up
Histoplasmosis from guano
Accumulated bat guano can harbor Histoplasma fungus, a respiratory hazard when disturbed.
Rabies exposure risk
Bats found in living spaces are treated as a rabies-exposure concern and must be handled carefully, never by hand.
