If you discover a bat in your home on more than one occasion, it’s not a coincidence. Of course, it has been known that they can find their way in through an open door or window, but it’s more likely that you have a gap in your eaves, a hole in your siding, or another point of entry. In essence, your home is not weather-tight.

In fact, the smallest of cracks in your home is an open invitation for a bat family to move in. Then, you may find yourself with a colony that causes no end of mess or damage, and won’t leave. If a bat enters your home, it’s essential to provide it with an exit. Close off the room the bat is in, and open all windows and doors to give it the opportunity to leave. Then, set about making sure all potential holes and cracks are sealed.

Trying to remove bats from your home when you’re not overly fond of them can be challenging, so we recommend contacting our trained pest removal experts in Massachusetts to help solve the problem for you.

There are many ways you can know you have a bat colony sharing your home with you, aside from, of course, seeing them on your property.

Here are some common signs:

• You may notice that you find a bat in your home more than once
• You hear rustling or squeaking as the sun sets, or on hot days
• There are stains or dirt surrounding holes in eaves
• Droppings or urine around holes in your siding or eaves

You can solve the problem by blocking the entry and exit holes, fixing your eaves, and making sure your home is weather tight. If you’re unsure how to rectify the problem, or you need help with bat removal, call our pest control team in Massachusetts. We are skilled in the safe and humane removal of bats and bat colonies.

Unlike most other pests, it is recommended that you should only try to remove bat colonies from your home in late summer around August to October, early spring, and during May. Once the problem is rectified, it’s crucial that you seal up any holes where bats can enter. Otherwise, the problem will continue to reoccur.

If you find yourself with a bat problem – whether it be a few bats or an entire colony in your attic, we recommend calling for pest control services in Massachusetts. Many people try to solve the problem themselves using repellents, poison, and deterrent, but it can exacerbate the situation rather than relieve it.

There are no adequate, registered bat repellents available, even though high-pitch noisemakers are sold on the market as effective. These sound emitters do not work, and waiting it out can lead to more significant problems.

Poison, on the other hand, can lead to rotting and dead bats in your walls, ceilings, and attics – another problem you’d rather be without. Pest control experts are trained in the safe and efficient removal of bats by excluding the colony and sealing off all exits. Before you know it, the bats have been given their marching orders, and you can begin living in peace once more.
