How to Safely Remove Bats from Roof Spaces in Malaysia (2025 Guide)

🟢 Introduction

Bats nesting in your roof? You’re not alone. Many Malaysian homeowners and building managers face this challenge, especially during monsoon seasons when bats seek dry, dark spaces like attics or ceiling voids. But here’s the catch: bats are protected wildlife in Malaysia and removing them without proper procedure is illegal.

So, what can you do? This guide walks you through the safe, legal, and effective way to remove bats from your property, without breaking the law or risking your safety.


🛑 Why You Shouldn’t DIY Bat Removal

Removing bats yourself may seem simple, but there are serious risks:

  • Bats can carry diseases like rabies and histoplasmosis
  • Disturbing a bat colony is illegal under Malaysia’s Wildlife Conservation Act
  • ❌ You might cause damage to your ceiling or roof insulation

Important: It’s not just about removal, it’s about long-term prevention too.


🧠 How to Know If You Have a Bat Problem

Watch out for these signs:

  • 👃 Strong ammonia-like smell (from guano)
  • 🦇 Fluttering or squeaking sounds in the attic
  • 💩 Black droppings near walls or vents
  • 🌙 Bats flying out at dusk from roof openings

✅ The Legal Way to Remove Bats (Step-by-Step)

1. Book a Professional Inspection

Our certified team will assess:

  • The species of bat (important for legal protection)
  • Entry and exit points
  • Nesting zone

2. Use Humane Deterrent Methods

We apply non-toxic repellents, install one-way exit flaps, and block re-entry points once bats have left naturally.

3. Install Long-Term Prevention Tools

  • Bird/Bat netting
  • Sealing of roof ridges & ceiling vents
  • Ultrasonic deterrents if necessary

4. Safe Cleanup of Guano

We use industrial-grade disinfectants to sanitize contaminated spaces, critical for schools, food outlets, or hospitals.
