 Bat Guano Pictures in and around New Orleans

"What does bat poop look like?" 

Here are many pictures of local bat poop that I took on several jobs!

Since I am a wildlife removal technician, specializing in the removal of bats from attics (walls, chimneys, etc) in the New Orleans area - AND nobody else is providing any good pictures of bats, bat guano, bat poop, bat droppings, bat infestations, from local jobs! I thought I would.

Everyone loves some good old bat poop now and then right? Josh, would rather wear a respirator than breathe in all the attics fiberglass insulation - but he;s just being smart!

Bat crap top right of window - what a mess!

Bat entry point - poop and just plain old sebum! Nasty bat mess on the wall!

Its hard to find anyone who removes bats in the first place so it is understandable that you would have trouble finding real local pictures of bat guano (poop) from our area. New Orleans has a pretty active and healthy population of bats but not alot of people who do it.

This is going up the stairs!

Now that's a huge pile of Bat poop and frankly WAAAAY more than you would typically encounter.
I think you will find that the pictures of the bat poop by the windows is even a bit extreme.
Heres what some typical bat poop looks like on a typical job.

Notice the small size of the bat poop and not really a huge pile, bat guano differs from a typical new orleans gecko turd - a lizard will have a white cap like a cigar ash - a bat turd will not!

Bat Droppings (Bat poop) and Bat Bugs

Bat poop often has bugs in it, why not it IS a nitrogen rich medium! When I perform an exclusion I sometimes see bat bugs and or bat mites. Because bats are mammals they are prone to all sorts of things just like any other mammal. I remove bats from attics, and can teach you how to remove a bat but in this blog I am just covering the bugs I see. Pictures of bat poop almost always show bugs if you know what to look for. The following pictures show bugs on some of my bat removal cones, or bat valves.

Bat Mites

Bat bugs from bats in New Orleans

Have a friend who thinks they have bat bugs? You can share this blog with them, but they should call an exterminator to treat for them. It is my understanding that the bugs cannot complete their life cycle in an ongoing basis without the bats or a host like them. Humans just are not a good host for the bat bugs. You should properly ID the bugs first. If you do not have bats you may have BIRD mites. The bat bugs pictured here were definitely from a bat roost and they are mites.

Ultrasonic repellents 

Ultrasonic repellents simply DO NOT WORK in my opinion. You can try it but effective control of bat bugs starts with getting rid of the bats - then your local pest control guy can get rid of the bugs. Treating just for bugs while NOT removing the bats will fail just like treating your house for fleas and not the cat or dog - the bugs will rebound.

This is what a true Bat Bug looks like up close notice how similar to the bedbug it looks. This Bat bug was found at a bat roost in the downtown Covington area.
