BAT CONTROL

Businesses should approach bat proofing and bat removal with extreme caution. This is because bats carry the rabies virus. Among reported cases of rabies in wildlife, bats are the most common. If you have a bat infestation, you should know bats are highly territorial with excellent homing abilities. This makes them a particularly difficult intruder to get rid of.

Don’t take on bat removal yourself. Save yourself the struggle and leave it to our team of bat control professionals. Terminix Canada technicians understand that bat exclusion, not bat trapping, is the best way to successfully remove bats from your business. Our humane bat removal service is the best and safest way to rid your business of bats for good.

Both little and big brown bats are active for the majority of the year. The latter species is active year-round whereas the former species is active every month besides December, January and February.

Bats aren’t usually dangerous but this doesn’t mean they can’t be. Ultimately, bats are associated with diseases including rabies. Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have previously confirmed that bat droppings, called “guano”, can contaminate soil with a fungus that causes histoplasmosis. These are just some of the main reasons why you don’t want bats in your space.

Have you noticed bats flying in, out or around your business? They can enter your space through chimneys, structural deficiencies, windows, and doors. Once indoors, they primarily live in attics and interior walls that have pipes, wires and ducts. Serving as pathways to manoeuvre around businesses unseen, bats prefer dark spaces with consistent temperatures and are commonly found in basements too. Most of the time, bats enter buildings by accident.

Capable of moving from one room to the next, bats leave scent trails for other bats to follow. In other words, bat infestations can quickly worsen. Early intervention is key so contact us today.
