Bats in Fairfax, Virginia

Bats are a common attic wildlife issue in Fairfax, Virginia, especially during spring and late summer when seasonal roosting activity increases around rooflines, soffits, and vent openings.

Many Fairfax homes include ridge vents, gable vents, dormers, and siding transitions that can allow bats to access protected attic spaces where warmth and stable airflow are present.

Because bats can access very small openings, attic activity is often associated with multiple entry points along roof seams and vent edges.
