Bat Trapping and Removal

While you might not be surprised to find squirrels, birds, or mice taking up residence in your attic, bats are a different story. Many people consider these winged critters to be nothing more than “rats with wings,” and as such, find them to be equally as disgusting. It’s true that like other wild animals, bats carry diseases that can harm humans and pets, however, having bats outside your home is a good thing. This is because they help control the population of other pests by eating bothersome insects, such as mosquitoes and moths. So what should you do if you find bats dwelling in your attic? Fortunately, the experienced team at Twin Home Experts can help.

If bats have made a home in your attic, you may be tempted to trap and remove them yourself. This is never a good idea. Not only is it illegal to catch, transport, and kill bats in America, it’s also a lot of work. It’s much easier and more effective to let them fly out of your home themselves, then block the opening through which they are traveling. By blocking their source of entry, you’ll avoid coming into contact with harmful diseases, you won’t hurt the animal, and you won’t be breaking the law.
