BAT Control and Removal Services
Bats are fascinating nocturnal creatures that are invaluable to insect control (bats can eat thousands of insects in just one hour). However, they can pose many challenges when they take up residence in human environments. Bats often find their way into homes through small openings or gaps in attics, roofs, and walls, seeking shelter during daylight hours. While bats play a crucial role in controlling insect populations, their presence near or inside homes can lead to various issues. Bat droppings (guano) accumulate quickly and can pose many health risks due to potential fungal spores. Additionally, bats may introduce parasites, such as bat bugs, which can migrate into living areas and bite humans or pets. Addressing bat infestations promptly is essential to mitigate these risks and ensure the safety and comfort of your household. At Pioneer Home Solutions, we specialize in humane bat removal techniques that comply with wildlife protection laws, safeguarding both your property and the local bat population.
Why is it important to remove bats?
Removing bats from human-inhabited areas is important primarily for health and safety reasons. Bats can carry diseases such as rabies and histoplasmosis, which can be transmitted to humans through direct contact or inhalation of fungal spores in their droppings (guano). Additionally, bat guano accumulations can lead to odor issues and structural damage, as well as attract insects and other pests.
Bats can be found in many areas in and around your property, including: attics, chimneys, roof spaces, walls, gutters and downspouts, barns, vents (ridge, roof, gable), and soffit returns.
