Bat Entry Point - Bat Guano on Roofing |
|
Sometimes the only
evidence of the presence of bats in a building will be an accumulation of droppings in one area of the attic, or droppings
and rubmarks on siding at the bat entry opening. To confirm their presence and locate the openings used by bats’ in
the warmer months, observe from the outside for bats leaving in the evening, from one-half hour before untill one-half hour
after sundown. Once you have determined the principal entry points, you may seal all of the openings and crevices of over
3/8” not used by bats. Because bats cannot gnaw to enlarge an opening, a variety of materials can be used to seal an
opening, including: l/4” hardware cloth, fly screen, sheet metal, wood, caulking, expandable polyurethane foam, or fiberglass
insulation, (But not in June or July when the young are likely to be inside).Bats are susceptible to rabies, a serious viral
disease that results in death if untreated. If you are bitten by a possibly rabid animal, you must immediately
consult a doctor for a series of injections; there is no cure once symptoms emerge
When
dealing with the exclusion of bats it is advisable to hire a professional who will be able to remove ALL THE BATS
without danger to you, secure your residence, sanitize the area affected, and if needed remove and replaced your contaminated
insulation.

Exclusion
is the ONLY effective solution for permanently removing bats from buildings. Trapping and relocating is ineffective since
bats have excellent homing instincts and simply return, even when released at great distances. The use of pesticides against
bats is illegal and counterproductive.
Poisoning attempts seldom kill all the bats, leaving sickened bats
that emerge, become grounded, and may be retrieved by children and pets. Poisoning also fails to address the real issue –
that bats are gaining access to your structure in the first place. As bats are mammals, anything harmful to them will also
be harmful to you and your pets.
Naphthalene, the active ingredient in moth balls, and ultrasonic devices are often
promoted as bat repellents. However, ultrasonic devices are ineffective against bats, and to be effective, naphthalene must
be used in such large quantities that it poses a significant health hazard to humans.
