A Guide To Bat Removal In West Palm Beach

The presence of bats around a homestead is beneficial because they feed on thousands of insects like mosquitoes. However, the primary concern that homeowners in West Palm Beach have is bats living in large colonies. A large colony is noisy and unsettling. Bats also leave their droppings and urine behind.

Large piles of bat droppings and urine can corrode wood and metal. Their weight can also collapse the ceiling below the attic. This waste also has a foul odor and can grow fungal spores. If the inhabitants of a home breathe in the spores, they may be at risk of suffering from a fungal infection of the lungs, which is referred to as Histoplasmosis. Most of the cases of rabies transmission in the U. S. A come from bats. Therefore, bat removal in West Palm Beach should be a priority for any property owner.

The process of getting rid of bats in a house is challenging. In order to remove them effectively, all entry points should be sealed off so that the colony can be excluded. The bats should be removed in the right way. Using bat poison can lead to disaster because homeowners will most likely have to get rid of rotting carcasses.

It is wise to remove bats from your home at the right time of the year. Find out if you are dealing with a colony of nursing bats. If you remove the adults before the young ones can fly out, they will die in the house. This is inhumane and impractical since it is hard to find and eradicate carcasses. It takes about 5 weeks for newborn bats to be able to fend for themselves.

Property owners should also not attempt bat removal during the winter months since bats hibernate during the winter season. In order to remove bats from a property, the points of entry should be located. Property owners should look out for bat droppings below or on the suspected point of entry. These droppings usually have small remains of insect shells. Therefore, they have a crumby texture and appear sparkly in sunlight.

If you cannot identify the points of entry by bat droppings, you can stay awake at night to see where the bats are entering from. These mammals usually enter homes through cracks, crevices, places where piping and wiring enter a building and loose or missing tiles or shingles. After you know the points of entry, you should install one way valves or doors on them. You can either buy these devices or make your own from empty caulk containers, netting or PVC pipes. After installing them, seal off all entry points completely.

If your home is heavily infested with bats, it is best use the services of bat removal professionals. They are trained and prepared to deal with the removal of wildlife. They also have the equipment and expertise needed to remove bats quickly and effectively.

Bat removal service providers usually look for entry points and install one way valves or doors that keep the bats from getting back into the house. The entry points are then sealed. Reputable professionals offer warranties against re infestation. Therefore, if the bats get back in, they can come back to your home and remove them at no additional cost to you.
