Bat Extermination

Most people in their life don’t ever have to deal with a bat problem in their home or place of business, but for the ones that do, they know exactly how troublesome this situation can be. Bats create an enormous amount of waste wherever they live, and you do not want this type of waste anywhere in your home. Usually they will take over your garage or attic and almost immediately compromise the air quality inside of your home. The gases that are released from bat excrement are very dangerous to your air quality, and the sheer weight of all of this excrement can cause ceilings in a home to collapse.

The first stage of bat extermination is to get the bats to leave their new found home, which unfortunately is now inside your home. To do this, a professional will come in and chase the bats out, and will set up a net so that they are prevented from coming back. After a few days of the bats not being able to return, they will then find a new home, and forget about the one they have made inside your house. This process might sound easy on paper, but the professionals are well aware as to how difficult removing bats from their home are. One of the reasons why it is so hard to do is because bat colonies consist of a very large number of bats.

The next step in the process is cleanup. All of the waste the bats left behind needs to be immediately removed properly. As said earlier, this waste is damaging to breathe into your lungs, and it is just unsanitary to have in your home. After the waste is completely removed, the exterminator will then check to see what type of damage has been done. It is not uncommon, depending on how large the bat problem was, to have to replace wood up in your attic, and replace the drywall of the ceiling. All of these steps though are to make your home safe to live in.

Bat extermination is not needed everywhere, but in some parts of the country it can be a constant issue. This is why there are many professionals available in these areas that have taken care of bat problems before and know how to prevent this type of problem in the future. If you have a bat problem, the best thing to do is call a professional extermination company as soon as possible to assess the problem.
