Steps to Get Rid of the Bats in Your Attic
When the bats are away from the human residence, they can be an amazing neighbor. However, once they choose to infiltrate your house, the stress and the anxiety that they can give you can be a different story. As time passes by, the bats colony in your attic can produce tons of bat guano that can lead to the damages in the building. This can also encourage the spread of pathogens and fungal growth.
4 Tips to Remove the Bats in the Attic
Before we start in the removal process, you will need to identify first the type of bat in your attic. This will play a key role in the removal of the bats. For instance, if you are housing a bat that belongs in the species of concern, then you might be required to secure additional permit to avoid legal repercussions.
1. Inspect Your Attic
When you are inspecting your attic, be sure that you are wearing face mask and gloves. A pair of shoes with a good traction is also recommended to avoid slipping. Since the place is dark, you may need to bring flashlight or head lamp to illuminate the area. You should also not hesitate to ask for the help of a capable adult. Ask your children and pets to stay away from the area of infestation due to the hazards that it can bring. During the inspection, you will need to focus on the entry points of the bats. This will help you in conducting the pre-sealing process.
2. Sealing the Holes
There are different materials that you can use to seal the holes. You may use sealant, expanding foam, hardware cloth, bricks, woods, etc. The material that you will use will be unique depending on your situation. Start sealing the holes that are less than 1/2inch and above. Remember that bats have a small body frame that can fit into the tiny crevices. To identify their exit points, you may observe them for a couple of days. This will support you in identifying the holes that they are using.
3. Installing Exclusion Device
Once you managed to seal the holes, install the exclusion device on the main entry point of the bats. Usually, the bat exclusion device will come with a valve that will close the moment that the bats leave your house. This will prevent the re-entry of the bats. Exclusion device is not recommended to use during the maternity season.
4. Installing Alternative Roosting Site
The bat population is in a continuous decline. This might lead to an imbalanced ecosystem. Therefore, we recommend homeowners to give the bats with an alternative shelter. You can achieve this by introducing a bat house in your property. You will not only solve your bat infestation problem; you can also ensure that the soil in your garden will remain fertile. They will also help reduce the insects in your house.
These are just some of the ways to remove the bats in your attic. Avoid using methods that may hurt them since this is considered illegal in most states.
