What You Need to Know About Bat Removal Services

Hiring a professional bat removal company is the best way of solving your bat infestation problem. We at Bat Removal Toronto services will send our professional technicians to deliver a comprehensive inspection of your property. Our experts can determine all possible weak points that can be used by bats to get inside. Bats can squeeze via very tiny openings 3/8 of an inch hole can be enough for bats to use it. Our technicians will write a detailed review of your property and provide the transparent quote. So you are going to know all the details of the future bat removal work before we start. After the inspection, the technician will seal all possible entry-points and leave only one where he will place a one-way door so that bats can emerge outside via it. Bats have to leave their nests to drink and eat every evening. When they try to return back to their nests the one-way door will not allow them to do so. The bats will then fly around and attempt to locate other access points to get inside. So, eventually bats would need to find a new home and leave your property for good.

There is a particular season throughout the year when bat removal services can’t be conducted.  This season is called bat baby season, which starts in May and ends in July. When bat babies are being born they cannot fly and leave the nest. The maturity rate for these babies depends on the type of the bat, so it can take 2 – 4 weeks for bat babies to start leaving the nest. When our bat removal specialists perform bat exclusion work during the bat baby season they would need to inspect your attic before starting the work. If there are babies presented technician will notify the homeowner about it and would recommend leaving them alone for next 4 weeks. Since the babies would be not able to survive without mother if she had been removed from the nest and can’t get back. Bats in Ontario are protected species by Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act so it is illegal to kill them or leave them to die. In some cases, bats can establish quite large colonies in your attic and over time can produce a lot of guano that can be very dangerous to you and your family. We at Wildlife Shield recommend using cleaning and disinfection services to remove these dangerous feces.  We also provide Attic Restoration services to improve your attic insulation.

How do You Know if There is a Colony Presented in Your Attic

Little Brown Bats and Big Brown Bats are the most common species presented in Ontario and most likely these two are infesting your attic right now. Both of these types of bats establish maternity colonies throughout the summer months. These maternal colonies give birth anywhere from mid-May till the beginning of July. Baby bats can’t fly and can’t leave nests for four weeks after being born. If you discover a bat in your home or you can hear them in your attic you almost certainly have a bat colony. Almost all bats hibernate during the winter, however, Little Brown Bats travel to warmer regions that can be hundreds of miles away. Little Brown Bats prefer to stay in caves during the winter while Big Brown Bats often inhabit your attic to hibernate. So, if you see a bat in your house during the winter, it is most likely a Big Brown Bat that has colonized your attic.
