The phrase describes the practice of seeking local professional services to manage or eliminate bat infestations around a residential or commercial property. This usually involves identifying a company specializing in wildlife removal or pest control operating within a reasonable geographic proximity to the person or entity searching for such services.
Addressing bat presence is crucial due to the potential health risks associated with bat droppings (guano), the structural damage they can cause to buildings by roosting in attics and walls, and the nuisance they create through noise and odor. Historically, managing these issues relied on trapping or harmful methods, but contemporary approaches emphasize humane exclusion and preventative measures, adhering to local wildlife protection regulations.
