Bats In The Attic

Especially relevant, the first indicator there may be a bat problem in a Maine home is a bat showing up inside the house. Also, Bats most always originate in an upper level of a building. For example, they enter attics and eves. Also, they then trickle down to the living quarters via a chimney, plumbing and electric pipes or wires or openings in construction. Also, if we find bats, an experienced bat control technician must investigate the building. We have years of experience solving bat problems. And, please be aware a lesser experienced person confuses bat droppings in an attic for mice droppings. So, there’s value in having a bat inspection done properly.

The Bat Inspection

Yes, the first sign a homeowner may have a bat problem is a bat showing up inside the home. Also, noises in the upper level of a home or wall signals bats. And, odd odors in the home, especially during the warm summer months is a sign of bats. So, if you suspect a bat problem, the first step is to schedule a bat inspection. And, Mid Coast Wildlife Specialists determines if there’s a bat problem or not.

Because a bat has shown up inside the home this does not mean there’s a bat infestation. And, during mid-July – mid-August, Maine’s young bats are learning about flying. Consequently, they end up where they shouldn’t be. They will come down chimneys, get under doors, and go into attics. Most noteworthy, during a bat inspection we look inside the attic area, if possible. Also, we will check knee-wall areas. And, we search for openings in the upper levels where bats may enter. Finally, we look at the exterior of the home to identify where bats enter a house.

Bat Proofing Or Bat Exclusion

First of all, this is the only way to get rid of the bats. Furthermore, on the outside of a house, small openings will allow bats to penetrate the shell of a building allowing them access to live inside. And, it’s our job and expertise to identify these areas. In a nutshell, all the exterior of a home needs close examination. Also, we seal and wire off any openings that a bat can get through.

Please note, there will be primary bat entry/exit areas and secondary. And, the primary areas will get a one-way bat door or bat valve. Also, the secondary areas will get wired, sheet metaled, or caulked closed. So, what we do depends on how the end product will look and what’s correct for that application.

Bat work makes it necessary to access the highest levels of a home. So, this is why it’s best and safest to hire a bat exclusion specialist At Mid Coast Wildlife Specialists.
