A Note on Bats in Central PA
Safe, Legal Bat Exclusion & Attic Restoration
Bats in the attic are a serious issue. Bat colonies leave behind guano that heavily saturates insulation and creates severe health risks, including histoplasmosis.
Because of these risks and strict Pennsylvania regulations that prohibit bat removal during the June to August maternity season, this is not a DIY job. The Cozy Penguin safely handles the legal exclusion, expert guano cleanup, and complete insulation remediation from start to finish.

Why this matters
The hidden dangers of a bat colony
A bat infestation is not a simple pest problem. It involves state laws, severe biological hazards, and extreme damage to your property.
Health Risks
Guano contains spores that can cause histoplasmosis when inhaled.
June to August
The strict PA maternity season where bat removal is legally prohibited.
Complete Saturation
Guano permanently ruins insulation, rendering it toxic and useless.
Our Process
A complete 4-step bat exclusion process
From the first inspection to the final insulation install, here is exactly what we do to safely resolve the issue.
Legal Exclusion
What happens: We install specialized one-way doors that allow bats to safely leave the structure but prevent them from re-entering.
The goal: Humanely remove the bats while fully complying with Pennsylvania state laws.
Expert Guano Cleanup
What happens: Using proper safety gear, we carefully extract hazardous guano and sanitize the space.
The goal: Eliminate the dangerous risk of histoplasmosis and neutralize terrible odors.
Insulation Remediation
What happens: We remove the heavily saturated insulation, seal hidden air leaks, and install fresh insulation.
The goal: Restore your home to a completely safe, sanitary, and energy-efficient condition.

"Absolutely an amazing company with astounding customer service and a super helpful and knowledgeable team! The work they did insulating the old side of our basement is amazing. It looks so good and it is already more comfy on that side of the house! We appreciate the care they put into it ensuring they did the job right. We are so happy with the results! I highly recommend this company. Cozy Penguin, you rock! Money well spent before winter."PJ Lazerbeam Verified Google Review

"Very happy with Koala. From getting the quote, scheduling the job and having the work done. My wife was home the day the job was done. Very friendly group of workers. My current attic blow-in insulation was settled and sparse. I had plywood down for storage. I removed all except 1½ sheets in front of attic door. We had Koala blow in more over existing insulation. Very fair price."Scott Lebo Verified Google Review

"After the disaster of our ceiling falling down, Salim and his team at The Cozy Penguin got us back in the game with quick and reliable service. If you are in an older home and on the fence about upgrading your insulation, please do not hesitate to reach out to Salim, he will work with you to get your house insulated properly. We just had it installed the other day and you can already tell the difference in the heating system and how the house holds the temperature, rather than feeling drafts and the furnace running constantly. We also had them install a solar attic fan to further reduce energy costs. If you are in the market for insulation, look no further than Salim and The Cozy Penguin!"Robert Donato Verified Google Review
FAQ
Bat control questions, answered
The questions homeowners ask us most often. Do not see yours? Ask us directly.
Can I remove bats from my attic myself?
No. Because of the severe health risks associated with guano and strict Pennsylvania regulations regarding protected species, bat exclusion is not a DIY job. It requires specialized safety equipment and strict legal compliance.
What is the Pennsylvania bat maternity season?
Pennsylvania regulations strictly prohibit bat removal during the maternity season, which runs from June through August. During this time, baby bats cannot fly and would be trapped inside if excluded, causing much worse problems.
Why is bat guano so dangerous?
Bat guano creates severe health risks because it can harbor spores that cause histoplasmosis, a serious respiratory disease. It also heavily saturates insulation, destroying its effectiveness and causing severe odor problems throughout the home.
Do you offer a warranty on the exclusion work?
Yes. Every sealed entry point is backed by our written exclusion warranty. If a bat finds its way back in through a spot we sealed, we come back and fix it at no cost.
