Common Bats Of Canada
Size: 6 to 10 cm long, wingspan of up to 27 cm.
Colour: Varies from reddish-brown to dark brown.
Behaviour: Preferring dark and dry spaces, bats often inhabit attics, basements and chimneys. They can squeeze through narrow spaces effortlessly. Eating beetles, moths, mosquitoes and more, bats are one of the few mammals known to feed on blood. Bats possess the unique ability to see through echolocation, in which they emit high-frequency sounds to analyze the location of objects based on bouncing sound waves.

Why Do I Have A Bat Infestation In My Business?
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.
