To many people, bats are “creepy”, or they are associated with Halloween. But did you know that bats are important to our ecosystem? However, having bats in or around your home is not beneficial. If you are looking for Denver Bat Removal, call the best – Northern Colorado Pest and Wildlife Control. We service the Denver area, as well as up north.
Types of Bat Problems
- Loafing – If you find a bat lying on your porch or doorstep, leave it alone. Although not all bats have rabies, it is always safest to not handle them yourself. The bat could be sick or injured, but it could also just have been caught in a storm. Bats migrate and show up in Colorado in May and they leave around September – October, so you might find bats during that time. Give the animal a few days to be sure it is not just migrating. If a bat is consistently loafing around your house, call a humane wildlife control company.
- Flying in the house – A bat in your home is a job for emergency wildlife control. Leave the room, and let the experts catch and release the animal. Sometimes, a bat can just get in by accident, but it is more likely that there is a roost somewhere in your house. With a roost in the attic, it is common to have a bat get into your home and not be able to escape.
- Roosting – If you hear scratching, smell ammonia, or find large piles of small excrement (guano), you might have a bat roost in your home. You could also see the bats flying around the home. The type of colony will dictate how they are handled. A bachelor colony can be addressed quickly. A nursery colony of mothers and young will be left until they migrate on their own. Then, we can close the access point to ensure they will not return. In the meantime, we can help mitigate any other issues.
- Bat bugs and guano – Sometimes the problem is not so much the presence of the bats as it is what they bring with them. Bat bugs are related to bed bugs and are often mistaken for them. That is why it is so important to call a pest and wildlife control company. At Northern Colorado Pest and Wildlife Control, we can eliminate bat bugs (or bed bugs) and clean up guano (bat poop).
