Bat removal from the attic

Bat removal from the attic space of a home is a very common call that most animal removal and control companys receive in the late spring to late fall time frame. This is when the bats are the most active and seem to be almost everywhere! Bats are colonized animals and seem to be very at home in really dark hot places such as the attic space of a house. This is where the female bat will have her babies and the attic area will act as a incubator of sorts. When bats a born, they are naked, meaning they have no fur at all. The mother bat does not have enough weight or fur to keep the baby warm by passing on body heat. So what does a mother bat do??? Simple she has her babies where it is already hot…in your attic!
Bat removal and control is a process that we recommend that you hire a professional, Bats in the attic can cause very serious problems and should not be allowed to stay in your attic once they have been discovered.

Bats in attic Vent screen

Another very common problem that has been popping up a lot lately is bats in the attic vent of a home or business, The vents in the attic is a very comfortable place for bats to be in the summer months. The bats will locate themselves in a vent in the attic and as the air naturally pulls thru the vent, the air cools the bats body temperature. This is a wonderful thing for a bat as it is really susceptible to temperature changes. You will usually find the bats in the vent screens after the baby bats have started to fly. This is usually after they have been thru the attic incubation period and are totally mobile and can get around really easy. To solve this problem of bats in the attic vent problem, one should first determine if the bats are on the inside or the vent or the outside of the vents, If the bats are on the inside of the vents then you will usually have to do a bat exclusion to the entire attic for the process to be affective, If the bats are on the outside of the vent screens then you should make sure the wire is stapled securely and if possible reinforce the vents screen with some more wire. Bats are a very beneficial animal to have around the house. They eat several hundred bugs a night each and should be treated with respect.
