Depends on your policy! Check with your agent. Mine covers removal of guano, repair of damage caused by bats, but NOT the removal of the bats themselves. Subject, of course, to normal deductible. Fortunately, my bat exclusion estimate breaks that stuff out already so it helps for me.

Will homeowners insurance cover the cost of removal cleanup and prevention of bats in an attic?
This depends on your insurance company. The bat exlusionists who visited my home said that some companies will cover it, no questions asked. Other companies classify it as "vermin" and won't cover it at all. You could try to say you have toxoplasmosis mold in your attic and say it's mold removal to get the cleanup paid for.
Does homeowners insurance cover a bat bite to a visitor?
This type of injury is best covered under ones own medical insurance policy. Unless the bat was a pet scheduled for coverage under your homeowners insurance policy and barring some negligence on the part of the home owner, it is doubtful the homeowner would be liable for such an injury. It's not much different from being bitten by a snake while walking down a sidewalk, most people are generally not in a position to be legally liable for the acts of unowned wild animals.
Is bat damage covered under homeowners insurance?
damage by birds, animals, vermin, insects are generally not covered but check with your agent or insurer to be sure
Does home owners insurance cover bat removal?
There are several different homeowners insurance and commercial insurance policies. They are slightly different in each state because every state has different problems. For example the Northern state have ice dams and Southeastern state have significant Hurricane threat. California has significant earthquake threat. Therefore you should read your own insurance policy to see the actual working that would be used to determine if you have coverage for a claim to remove bats. Once you have your policy handy look for this section Section I Perils Insured Against. It is found on the policy I am looking at on Page 8 of 22. This is where the policy goes over some items they will not pay for in relation to dwelling and other structures. Now that you in the right place go to # 6 which states Any of the Following. It says this "Birds, Vermin, Rodents or insects". What this means is that the insurance policy was written or designed so as not to pay for damaged caused by Birds, Vermin, Rodents, or Insects. This is the wording in a standard Homeowners insurance policy. Notice it does not mention Bats. So is a bird a bat? You need to look up the definition of a bird and go from there. If a bat is considered a bird then no coverage. If it is unclear if a bat is a bird then it is a questionable claim. The insurance company may ask a coverage attorney who researches these type items everyday. They actually have a library of these research items grouped by state and policy. Why? because policies, wording, courts are different in each state. If you file a claim and are denied you really lose nothing but it does put a claim on your record. I would ask how much is it costing to remove bats? Your deductible on your home insurance should be $500 to $1000 dollars.

Being that a bat is a mammal will home insurance cover damage to home?
It depends on the policy you have and how the company defines the perils and exclusions. Many policies have an animal infestation/varmint exclusion where it would no cover damage by either certain animals or any animals. I would call you agent for a copy of your policy if you do not have one in your files.

How do you collect bat guano from a residence and sell it?
I don't think you can do that. Guano can become toxic if left for too long, which is why many homeowners have it removed. For it to be useful, bat guano has to be fresh, kept away from light and moisture, and can't have been left for too long. And it is sold by the ton, something you are not likely to get out of a house.
