How Long Can the Bats Live While in Your House?
Bats can easily get inside the house just as how they can easily get outside. In the wild, they can fit inside small crevices in the cliffs that make it easy for them to gain entry on the inaccessible space in your house. The bats will usually retreat to our attic when the temperature drops. It provides them warmth and protection against predator that makes it an excellent place to raise their young ones.
A Guide on the Lifespan of the Bats Once It Goes inside Your House
As a homeowner, you are responsible to ensure that this will not result to a full-blown infestation. In case you are housing bats, it would be relatively easy to find them if you observe them a couple of minutes after sunset. Once inside our house, they are basically protected against weather elements, predators that increase their chance of surviving.
Lifespan of Bats
When in the wild, the average lifespan of bats will depend upon the type of bats. There are bats that can live up to 6 years and there are others that can survive for more than 30 years. Generally, bats will have an estimated lifespan of 10-20 years. The abundance and availability of food also plays a critical role. If the bat in your house has been receiving proper nourishment, it is highly likely for them to reach 20 years old. This is especially true if there are not a lot of predators around your community.
In case you live in the community with a high presence of insects and rodents, it is possible for these animals to invade your house. Bats can remain in your house for years without being detected. You will only get a hint of their presence once you end up with a full-blown infestation. They will live in the place that we rarely visit such as our attic. Since we don't spend a lot of time in the attic, their lives can go uninterrupted.
Problems of Full-Blown Bat Infestation
If you only have a small-scale infestation, they can probably live and die without being noticed. However, the problem starts when you are housing a large colony of bats. The colony of bats in our house can have hundreds or probably thousands of members. Once they become established in your house, they will usually return every year especially during the maternity colony. Therefore, you will have to start the exclusion process before the maternity season even starts. Once they deliver their babies it will take around 3-6 weeks before they can survive on their own.
Once you notice the presence of bats in your house, we highly encourage you to call the assistance of the experts. They do not only have the knowledge and the equipment; they can also provide you with their experience. Be sure that you are dealing with only the legitimate business in the industry. They should be able to provide you a range of lawful and humane solution.
