Bat work is the most regulated job I do, and it's almost entirely about letting them leave on their own rather than catching anything. A homeowner sees bats swirling out of the roofline at dusk and assumes I'll come trap them, but you can't trap or kill bats, it's illegal in most states, and there are protected windows in summer when there are flightless pups in the roost and I legally can't exclude at all. So sometimes the hardest part of the job is telling a customer who's scared and wants it fixed tonight that we have to wait until the maternity season ends, or the pups die trapped inside. When I can work, exclusion means finding every gap they're using, and bats get through openings as small as a half-inch along rooflines, fascia, chimneys, and ridge vents. I install one-way devices that let the bats fly out at dusk but block them from crawling back in, leave them up long enough for the whole colony to clear, then permanently seal everything. The other big piece is the guano. Years of accumulated droppings in an attic aren't just gross, the dust can carry the fungus behind histoplasmosis, so cleanup is respirator-and-Tyvek work with a HEPA vacuum, not a broom. It's patient, seasonal, regulated work, and the customer's urgency rarely matches what the law and the animals allow.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a bat removal technician's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a bat removal technician — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
