Do I Have a Bat in My House?
Bats are nocturnal creatures, so spotting them during the day is rare. However, several signs could indicate their presence:
Unusual noises: Scratching, squeaking, or fluttering sounds in your attic or walls, especially at dusk or dawn, may signal a bat infestation.
- Bat droppings: Look for small, dark, and pellet-shaped droppings near entry points or on window sills and walls.
- Strange odors: A buildup of bat droppings can create a strong, musty odor.
- Stains on walls or ceilings: Bats entering and exiting through small gaps may leave grease or oil stains from their bodies.
If you notice any of these signs, it's essential to contact a professional bat removal service like Mountain West Pest Control to avoid health and structural risks.
How To Prevent a Bat Infestation
Preventing a bat infestation starts with sealing entry points and making your home less inviting to these nocturnal visitors. Here are some steps you can take:
- Seal entry points: Bats can enter through small cracks, vents, or gaps in your roof, chimney, and siding. Inspect your home and seal any openings larger than ¼ inch.
- Install bat-proof covers: Vent covers and chimney caps can prevent bats from entering your home.
- Reduce outdoor lighting: Bats are attracted to insects, and bright outdoor lights can draw them closer to your home. Use motion-sensor lights or reduce nighttime illumination to minimize the risk.
- Trim trees: Bats often use trees as a bridge to your home. Keep branches trimmed away from your roofline to eliminate potential access points.
These preventive measures can help keep bats from making your house their home.
Where’s Wildlife Invading Your Home?
We’re here to help—no matter the space!
-
Soffits, Eaves and Dormer GapsThese locations provide easy entrance points for birds, bats, mice, rats, squirrels and raccoons. Let us inspect your home for these entrance gaps and seal them tight, to protect your home against unwanted wildlife.
-
Dormer and Gable VentsThese vents are favorites for bats, birds, squirrels and raccoons. Bats will rest behind the slats. Birds will build nests in them and raccoons and squirrels will simply push through the slats, through the thin screen behind them, and enter your attic. Let us secure these for you.
-
Bathroom / Dryer / Range HoodBirds, squirrels, bats and even snakes are frequently found in these vents. Let us install vent covers to keep these critters out.
-
Attic VentsA flimsy piece of screen in most attic vents is all that stands between your attic and marauding wildlife, like squirrels and rats. Birds will build nests in these and raccoons frequently pop these right off your roof to gain access to your home. Let us protect your home from invasion with Roof Vent Guards.
-
Doors and WindowsImproperly fitted or damaged door sills provide easy entrance for mice, rats, snakes and other small critters. Gaps along windows also can allow entry and bats love to nest behind shutters. Let us find and fix these entrance points in your home.
-
Decks and PorchesDecks and porches provide protection from the elements for wildlife like raccoons, woodchucks (a.k.a groundhogs), skunks, opossums, armadillos and even cats. We can install barriers that will keep all wildlife out from under these areas.
-
ChimneysChimneys represent the single largest opening in your home. Birds, squirrels and raccoons will nest in unprotected chimneys. We can protect your home with professionally installed chimney caps.
