Bat Control

Bats play a crucial role in the ecosystem as pollinators and insect controllers; however, when they roost in homes, they can become problematic. They typically find shelter in attics, barns, and other secluded areas of buildings. While beneficial in the wild, bats can pose health risks and structural issues when they inhabit human dwellings.

Why Are Bats a Problem?

Health Risks

Bats are known carriers of diseases, including rabies and histoplasmosis, a lung disease caused by the spores of a fungus that grows in their droppings (guano).

Structural Damage

The accumulation of guano and urine can damage the structural integrity of buildings, corroding wood and metal and staining ceilings.

Noise and Odor

Bats can be noisy, especially in large numbers, and their guano produces a strong, unpleasant odor that can permeate living spaces.

Parasites

Bats can bring parasites such as bat bugs (similar to bed bugs) into a home, which can then infest living areas.

Signs of a Bat Infestation

Noises

Scratching, squeaking, or crawling noises in walls or attics, particularly at dusk or dawn, can indicate bats.

Guano

Finding piles of bat droppings, which are similar to mouse droppings but larger, in or around your home, especially under eaves or on window ledges.

Visible Bats

Seeing bats fly out of your home at dusk or finding them hanging in attics or barns during the day.

Odor

A strong, acrid odor from accumulated guano can indicate a long-term infestation.

Bat FAQ’s

How do bats enter homes?

Bats can squeeze through small gaps as little as 3/8 of an inch, commonly entering around roof edges, vents, and where chimneys meet the roof.

Are bats protected by law?

Yes, bats are protected under various wildlife conservation laws, which often prohibit the killing or harming of bats. It’s important to check local regulations before attempting removal.

What should I do if I find bats in my attic?

Avoid handling bats or disturbing them directly. Contact a professional wildlife removal service that can safely remove bats and seal entry points to prevent re-entry according to local wildlife laws.

How can I prevent bats from roosting in my home?

Maintain your home by sealing any cracks or openings in the roof or walls, installing screens over vents, and ensuring that all windows and doors close tightly.

Testimonials

“Jason came out to provide a termite estimate. Due to his confidence, knowledge, and professionalism I hired him on the spot. About an hour later he had us set up to begin exterminating our termites with monitoring stations. I went with Pest Pros not because they offered the lowest cost estimate, but because of Jason.”
