Bat Exterminator

Getting rid of a bat problem requires the help of a licensed bat removal expert. Titan Pest & Wildlife works to remove bats on your property.

Mismanagement of bats can result in bites, but the more significant concern lies in their droppings, known as guano. Guano can harbor the fungus responsible for Histoplasmosis, a respiratory disease particularly hazardous for individuals with compromised immune systems.

Why Bats Chose Your Property

Bats are fascinating creatures with unique behaviors that may lead them to choose your home or property as a roosting site. One of the primary reasons bats select buildings for roosting is the availability of suitable shelter. Dark, secluded areas like attics, eaves, or wall voids provide the perfect hiding spots for bats during daylight hours when they are not actively hunting for food.

Other reasons bats have chosen to move onto your property include:

  • Warmth: Buildings often offer warmth, which is attractive to bats, especially during cooler months or when seeking refuge from harsh weather conditions.
  • Protection: Structures protect from predators, making buildings a haven for bats to roost and raise their young.
  • Accessibility: Gaps, cracks, or openings in buildings provide easy access for bats to enter and exit, allowing them to come and go as they please.
  • Food Source: If your property has an abundance of insects, such as mosquitoes or moths, bats may be attracted to feed on them, further incentivizing them to roost nearby.

Understanding why bats are attracted to your property is crucial for implementing effective bat management strategies and preventing infestations.

Here are some intriguing bat facts:

  • Bats can live for over 30 years.
  • They reach speeds up to 60 mph in flight.
  • They navigate and hunt in total darkness.
  • Around half of U.S. bat species are endangered.
  • Many hibernate in caves during winter.

The Misunderstood Nature of Bats

Contrary to common misconceptions, bats are generally harmless to humans. They naturally avoid human contact and are less likely to contract rabies than other wildlife. However, mismanaging bats can lead to bites. The genuine concern lies in their droppings, guano, which can harbor the fungus causing Histoplasmosis, a respiratory disease especially dangerous for vulnerable individuals.
