Bat Removal and Exclusion
The BBQ sizzling on Labor Day Weekend…a new school year started…football games kicking off…some slight hints of an approaching Autumn…
What do these all signify for a nuisance wildlife professional?
Exactly…bat time!
The Labor Day weekend is an unofficial start when efforts to remove bats from homes and attics here in NE Ohio is deemed ethical by bat conservationists and dedicated removal specialists like Frontline Animal Removal.
By now, the bat pups which were born this summer are able to fly. Ryan has confirmed this by watching his own bats and through inspecting.
Excluding bats now will not leave bat pups in the roost, unable to get out and be with their mothers, which almost guarantees their deaths.
And because the juvenile bats are flying now, there are a lot more of them ending up in people’s living spaces.
Finding wayward bats in living spaces is what prompts a lot of calls.
Help for Homeowners with Bats
Bats are ecologically important and we want healthy populations of bats here in NE Ohio.
That being said, we definitely want to help homeowners get bats out of their homes and attics. We also want to take the steps to prevent the from roosting in structures where they’re to be unwelcome in the future.
Bat exclusion (taking steps to keep the out once and for all) is all about reducing bat / human conflict. It’s good for the homeowners AND good for the bats.
We let the bats out and take steps to prevent them from re-entry. By searching out and sealing up potential bat entry points we can prevent future conflicts.
For example, a hole and smudge marks of this bat entry point are visible at this edge of the roof. This area and any others found will need to be addressed once the bats have been allowed to fly out and not re-enter.
