CONFIRMING ITS BATS
Confirming its bats you’re dealing with can be a bit of a process. Because they are not as active as some pests while in your home and because of the schedule they keep, a bat problem can often go unnoticed for long periods of time.
SIGNS YOU ARE DEALING WITH BATS
SOUNDS
Bats typically roost in your attic and are one of the quieter pests. You may however notice scratching sounds and flapping of wings as they come and go.
VISUAL EVIDENCE
If you notice any ofthe following things, you havr bats in your home. Piles of bat guano built up, typically somewhere underneath your soffits. Bats will also leave a dark brown stain as they squeeze in and out of the entry point. Check for stains around your roofline, dormers and soffits. Around dusk and dawn, you may see them coming or going from your home.
TIMING
Bats are nocturnal therefore you will only hear or see them from the evening to early morning hours. They hibernate during the winter months so you are most likely to notice them from early spring to late fall.
Dangers
Although there are also serious risks to your home and property when it comes to bat infestations the health risks are far more serious. Between histoplasmosis and rabies, the consequences can be deadly.
COMMON HEALTH RISKS
- Rabies – is contracted through the bite or saliva of an infected animal. If you suspect you have been bitten by a bat contact a medical professional immediately.
- Histoplasmosis – is a potentially fatal respiratory spread through the inhalation of spores found in dried bat guano.
- Bacterial Growth – as guano and urine accumulate in your home, it can be a breeding ground for all sorts of unhealthy bacteria. If left untreated, the risk and contaminants grow exponentially.
Property Damage
Chewed wires presenting a potential fire hazard
Fleas and tick infestation in your home

MONEY AND TIME CONSIDERATIONS
If you have never dealt with a bat issue before you were most likely wondering what the timeline looks like and what the potential associated costs may be.
COSTS
Every case is completely different and as such it’s impossible to provide a firm guideline on pricing. There are several factors that are considered when pricing a mice or rat removal and prevention job.
Main Factors:
- Accessibility of problem areas
- Number of problem areas
- Pitch of the roof
- Size of the home
- Whether or not babies are present
- Hours of labour required
- Materials required
To give you a rough approximation of price ranges; a simple rodent removal job will start around $800 and the more complex and severe the issues is the higher the prevention and removal cost will be.
Timeline
Bat eviction and prevention is an involved process. The timeline is as follows:
- Prevention work and decontamination is done, this takes one dayÂ
- Over the next 4-6 weeks, all bats will leave through the bat door systemÂ
- Within 6 weeks you will be bat-free and no longer at risk, however, the vast majority of critters will leave in the first week, so you will notice an immediate decrease in activity levelsÂ
- We return at a mutually convenient time to remove the bat door(s)
We don’t employ inexperienced or seasonal workers. Our policy is to have a technician on each job with a minimum of 5 years of experience. We back this up with our lifetime warranty*.
