Specialty & Seasonal Services
Every Season Brings Something Different
Wildlife problems can change with the seasons. That’s why Bats to Rats provides speciality seasonal services in Lincoln, NE to help homeowners and businesses address wildlife issues throughout the year. Our seasonal wildlife control services include snake removal and prevention, bird deterrents and nesting control, mole and vole treatment, habitat modification, and property protection. Wildlife doesn’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule. And depending on the time of year, you might be dealing with completely different critters. That’s why we offer specialized services that shift with the seasons, so you’re never caught off guard.
Snake Removal & Perimeter Proofing Services
Let’s talk about snakes, because they’re the one wildlife problem that really gets people’s attention and not in a good way.
In Nebraska, we see a variety of snakes around homes and properties: bullsnakes, garter snakes, and occasionally rattlesnakes in more rural areas. While most are harmless and actually beneficial (they eat rodents), we completely understand that you don’t want them in your basement, your garage, or your garden shed.
How snakes get in: Snakes are opportunists. They slip through gaps under garage doors, cracks in foundation walls, gaps around utility penetrations, and weep holes in brick veneer. They’re also excellent at hiding, you might not see them, but they see you.
How we stop them: Our snake removal service focuses on perimeter sealing. We walk your entire foundation, identify every gap and crack, and seal them with materials that snakes cannot push through. We also provide habitat modification advice, things like keeping grass short, removing wood piles, and sealing gaps around garden beds, that make your property less attractive to reptiles.
We don’t just remove the snake you found today. We make sure you won’t find another one tomorrow.

Bird Deterrents & Nesting Control
Birds might seem harmless, but when they decide your soffits, eaves, or commercial roof is the perfect nesting spot, they can cause real damage. Bird droppings are acidic and corrosive to roofing materials. Nesting debris can clog gutters and downspouts. And bird mites? They can find their way inside your home and become a whole separate problem.
Our bird control services include:
- Bird Spikes: Humane stainless steel spikes for ledges and rooflines.
- Netting: Heavy-duty bird netting for larger areas like commercial rooftops and loading docks.
- Soffit & Vent Sealing: Blocking the entry points birds use to access your attic or eaves.
- Cleanup & Sanitization: Safe removal of nesting material and droppings.
We’re trained in Bird Barrier products and know how to install them properly, so they work, they last, and they’re virtually invisible from the ground.

Nebraska Wildlife Calendar
Spring (March–May): Squirrels and raccoons are giving birth in attics. Birds start nesting. Skunks become active. This is our busiest season for inspections.
Summer (June–August): Bat season is in full swing. Baby bats start flying, and colony activity peaks. Snake activity increases with warm weather.
Fall (September–November): Rodents start looking for winter shelter. Mice and rats try to move indoors. Squirrels gather food and cause attic damage.
Winter (December–February): Rodent activity continues. Bats are hibernating (this is when we do bat exclusion prep for spring). This is a great time for structural proofing and repairs.
Not sure what season your problem falls into? Give us a call. We’ll walk you through it.
