Bats are essential to our ecosystem, but when they invade your home, particularly your attic, they can become a serious problem. Attics provide the perfect environment for bats: warm, dark, and quiet. Unfortunately, their presence can lead to damage to wood, drywall, and insulation, as well as health risks from guano and urine, which can harbor harmful pathogens.
Why Repellents and Traps Don’t Work
Traditional methods like repellents and traps are often ineffective and inhumane. Repellents rarely deter bats for long, while traps can injure or kill these protected creatures. Worse, improper handling of bats can leave homeowners vulnerable to potential health risks and even legal repercussions, as many bat species are safeguarded by law.
The Humane Solution: Live Exclusion
Live exclusion is the safest and most effective way to remove bats. This process involves installing one-way devices that allow bats to exit your home but prevent them from re-entering. Once all bats have vacated, entry points are sealed to ensure they cannot return. This approach is humane, respecting the ecological importance of bats while keeping your home bat-free.
Timing is Key
Timing is crucial for effective bat removal. Summer is off-limits for live exclusion due to the maternity season when baby bats are unable to fly. Fall and early spring are the best times to perform exclusions, ensuring no bats are left behind.
