What makes Bats dangerous?
Guano concentrations can contaminate attic insulation and other materials, posing a health risk. After removing the invading bats, the attic will be inspected to determine the extent of the damage caused by the unwelcome guests. We can safely remove all bat guano and soiled insulation and re-insulate in order to finish the job. If the animal becomes more aggressive in confined spaces, it is imperative to leave the area and contact a professional such as Seitz Wildlife Services for assistance.
Live Bat Removal
In Pennsylvania, there are a great deal of bats. On occasion, a single bat may become trapped in your home or place of business. Permit Seitz Wildlife Service to remove live bats from your property in a safe manner. One should never attempt to catch a bat. Because bats can transmit rabies, physical contact with them should be avoided. If physical contact occurred, the bat may need to be captured and tested at the county health department for rabies. The bat will be placed in a box if testing requires it.
Professional Bat Exclusion
Exclusion is the process of inspecting and sealing a bat-infested room, home, or building in order to permanently prevent future infestations. Bats are highly invasive and capable of squeezing through incredibly small spaces and crevices. Identifying all potential entry points for bats on your property can be very difficult. Hiring a professional bat exclusion service will ensure that your property is assessed and sealed appropriately to prevent future bat infestations.
If you have a bat infestation in your home or place of business, we have the skills and expertise to remove the bats and prevent their return. In Pennsylvania, bats are extremely beneficial to the environment. Bats help control insect populations and are protected by law. We employ humane techniques for bat exclusion and do not advocate the use of poisons or hazardous chemicals. We use a one-way door to allow bats to leave a structure but prevent their return, leaving your home bat-free! Bat exclusion is a difficult and hazardous process that typically requires a high ladder and construction expertise to diagnose and resolve the issue. Our bat exclusion service, which is designed to keep bats out of your home for years, uses only the highest quality materials. We warrant that no further infestations will occur. The bats are exterminated and excluded!
Bat Attic Clean Out
Frequently, a bat infestation will leave your attic filthy and unsanitary, necessitating a professional attic cleaning. Bat guano, also known as bat droppings, can cause illness by polluting the air in your home. A professional attic cleaning will eliminate all bat guano and debris, resulting in vastly improved air quality and resident health.
Our experts will conduct a thorough inspection of your attic and then provide a comprehensive report of their findings. Wood paneling, flooring, and insulation in your attic are frequently replaced. We will identify all areas of your attic that require cleaning or replacement, and then perform our attic cleanout service using only the highest quality supplies.
What Are The Signs of a Bat Infestation?
Bats leaving a home or structure at dusk is the most obvious indication of a bat infestation. Bats are creatures of habit, and they roost nightly in the same location. Over time, bat droppings can accumulate in attics, as well as along walkways and on window sills. Other common complaints associated with a bat infestation include squeaking sounds in an attic, chimney, or wall, as well as frequent bat sightings in living areas. Bats are nocturnal, with the majority of their activity occurring at dusk and throughout the evening; this is when the majority of bat activity is observed.
What is the biggest problem with a bat infestation?
Bats are one of the most beneficial animals in Pennsylvania, but if they move into our homes, they can become a serious problem. Every night, bats consume their body weight in insects, resulting in the rapid accumulation of their feces or guano. Guano from bats resembles sticky black rice and can contaminate insulation and other materials. Inhaling mold spores produced by bat guano can result in lung infections or histoplasmosis. Bat guano accumulates rapidly on walkways, window sills, and siding, leaving behind stains and foul odors.
A common occurrence of bats flying through your home or office is another issue associated with a bat infestation. This can be unsettling, not to mention hazardous to one’s health. Once a colony of bats has found a suitable roosting site, it can be difficult to deter them because bat repellent has little effect. Exclusion of bats is the only permanent solution to a bat infestation and will eliminate even the most severe bat problems.
When is the best time to perform a bat exclusion?
In Pennsylvania, bats are a protected species, so it is crucial to time a bat exclusion correctly to ensure the colony’s survival. Between June 1 and August 1, the law prohibits bat exclusions. This is the time of year when bat maternity colonies are raising their young, and any disturbance could result in the death of the current generation of bats. Before the young bats are born in the spring or after August 1st, when they can leave the roost with the rest of the colony, exclusions can be performed. Because bat colonies hibernating throughout the North East are infected with White Nose Syndrome, further harm to this species should be avoided.
