Bats are truly unique as they are the only mammal capable of flight and contrary to what most people believe, bats do have good eyesight. Canada has 19 species of bats, but there are 18 species (most commonly little brown bat and big brown bat) commonly roost in attics, overhangs, porch areas and other parts of human dwellings.
Bats can fit anywhere they can fit their head, so they can take advantage of small cracks and gaps in your home or building. Any area larger than penny is a potential entry point. To truly solve a bat problem in the safest and most humane way possible, the issue requires a trained professional with an understanding of bat habits and biology and a thorough building/home inspection and proofing.
Each bat removal begins with a complete inspection of the building or home by one of our technicians. This will determine where the bats are entering. Once we have determined what needs to be done outside, a complete attic inspection is done to determine the size of the colony and the amount of guano in the attic. In some cases, the guano must be removed and the attic reinsulated. Often the size of the colony can't be determined because the roost may be in a wall or some quality silicone. Larger gaps that cannot be caulked should be closed with fine steel screen. All roof/soffit intersections, roof vents, plumbing mats and chimney must be screened as well. In a situation where the roof or fascia gap is an issue, it will be screened or sealed with a steel drip guard. Once bat exclusion work is complete, we can begin the removal process.
Here are the main problem you may encounter when dealing with a bat
Bats, depending on the species tend to reside either in your attic or in your walls. There are two species of bat that can infest your residence – Little Brown Bats and Big Brown Bats.
Don't handle bats unless you are trained in handling them, are using appropriate personal equipment and are vaccinated against rabies.
3-5 % of bats found in homes test positive for rabies. Bats have very small teeth so bits may go undetected
Bat guano has been linked to histoplasmosis, a very serious lung infection
Bat guano raises moisture content in the attic, encouraging wood-rot, guano and urine builds up over time, causing odours and attracting insects
