General information about bats
Did you know that the bat is the only flying mammal in the world? In Quebec, we have 8 species of bats that are distinguished by their furs and ears. In Canada, since 2014, 3 species have been protected under the federal Species at Risk Act : Little Brown Myotis, Tri-colored Bat and Northern Myotis.
Depending on the species, several physical characteristics can vary such as the color of the coat, the size and the shape of the wings or ears. Most bats, however, have a very particular similarity, namely the use of the technique of echolocation. This allows bats to locate and characterize the elements of their environment by emitting ultrasound. Thanks to this technique, bats can move and hunt in the dark.
Bat behaviour
The bat, although sometimes unloved, plays a beneficial role in eliminating insect pests. Indeed, it can feed on more than 500 insects in just 1 hour! This animal can also feed on fruit, if necessary.
In terms of lifestyle, bats will hibernate or migrate south around October. The bat can hibernate inside various buildings such as barns, sheds, garages or even houses. As for its breeding period, it takes place once a year, in spring. From 1 to 4 baby bats can be born per litter.
As the bat is a protected animal, our exterminators will use the appropriate methods to capture it without injuring it. The extermination of bats will be done according to the legal standards in force.
Bat damage
The presence of bats in homes remains a potential source of danger. These can carry bedbugs and infest your home at the same time. Bats also leave traces of their passage through their droppings which, when they accumulate, deteriorate and contaminate the interior of your property. The insulation of your home can also be damaged during the construction of their nest.
To avoid these inconveniences and for peace of mind, do not hesitate to contact our experienced bat exterminators.
Bat-borne diseases
The accumulation of bat droppings, also called guano, gives off strong foul odors and can lead to the appearance of a fungus called Histoplasma capsulatum, which is also found in bird droppings such as pigeons. This fungus can trigger infectious lung disease within 5 to 18 days of inhaling spores in humans.
In addition, when bats scratch or bite humans, they can transmit rabies, which is an incurable and fatal disease. Not all bats carry rabies, but it is wiser to use bat exterminators in case of infestation.
Some signs of a bat in your property
Do you suspect bats in your attic? However, if you still have any doubts about this possibility, contact our bat exterminators who can validate the nature of your infestation problem. However, here are some clues that may help you clarify the situation:
- Do you smell strong, unpleasant odors near potential bat nest locations?
- Do you hear abnormal noises in your walls or attic?
- Have you seen any claw marks on the walls around areas potentially home to bats?
- Are there brown or black spots around entry or exit points that would be used by these winged mammals?
Finally, if you have noticed dead bats on your property or flying around your property, know that this is a fairly demonstratory sign that a colony has established in your home.
Our bat exterminators will be able to analyze the whole situation and check if your home is indeed used as a shelter for these animals. If this is the case, they will identify the bat circulation path as well as the location of their nest. This will allow them to install the bait capture cages in the appropriate places and thus practice the technique of physical exclusion.
Do I need the services of a bat exterminator?
There are certainly methods to get rid of unwanted bats yourself. For example, you can try to cover her with a sturdy towel or fishing net when she is hanging and motionless, and then carry her outside to release her. Wear thick work gloves to do this and get anyone else out of the room.
If the room allows, you can also open all the windows, turn off the lights, close the door and wait for the bat to find the exit by itself. Be aware, however, that it is much safer to call a specialist who will take care of the capture of the animal. Our bat exterminators have the skills and equipment to do the job safely.
