Most Common Bat Infestation Problems In Cleveland

Bats living in attics, soffits, and chimneys are the most common nuisance complaints. Furthermore, most people discover they have a bat problem when bats invade living quarters – which is the first sign of bat infestation. If you’ve had only 1 bat inside your residence, it may potentially be an isolated incident. However, if several bats have been getting inside the home, then bat infestation is likely the cause. In conclusion,  determining the root cause of the bat problem demands an inspection. You can trust the experts at Go Green Pest Control, LLC.

Bats will congregate in large colonies, sometimes ranging into hundreds of individual bats. Larger colonies can cause a whole lot of damage to an attic, mainly due to waste (guano) and urine contamination. Bats will pretty much just show-up in their little gang thinking they can take over your home and go to the bathroom wherever they please… But, the one thing the bats weren’t counting on is our team here at Go Green Pest Control, LLC being on the job!

Humane Cleveland Ohio Bat Removal Using One-Way Doors

Live bat exclusion is the process of removing bats from a building alive and sealing them outside after they have been successfully evicted. After the eviction process had been performed, the bats will be able to seek out a new place to live. This humane process is the only legal method in handling bat problems due to State & Federal Laws governing the removal of bats. Unlike other types of services, such as trapping wild animals, bat removal is much different in the sense that it is a more construction-based service, and it’s not as easy as getting rid of the problem overnight.

The Cleveland Ohio Bat Removal Process In A Nutshell

Cleveland, Akron and Youngstown Ohio Bat Removal jobs involve sealing the structure at locations large enough for bats to enter, followed by installing one-way bat cones over the primary entry points. This is the area where bats are coming and going. The one-way bat cone will allow the bats to travel through unharmed, and upon returning, they will be unable to get back inside, hence “one-way.”

Hanging the Bat Cone over the primary entry point will ensure the bats cannot access that area again. However, it would not be effective without sealing the rest of the structure. After the bats are excluded from the primary entry point, they will search for another area to get inside. That is why sealing is so important. Missing 1 small gap during the sealing process will grant the bats a one-way ticket back into your house… So, it’s very important to be meticulous during the sealing process. It’s a lot easier said than done, but you get the idea!

About The Cost Of Bat Removal In Cleveland Ohio:

Since every home is constructed differently, the amount of sealing work we have to do will vary based on the condition of each individual structure. So, as a result, the cost for bat exclusion will vary, depending on the home. There is no “Set Rate” for bat removal. That said, in order to calculate the exact cost, a full-home evaluation must be done.

Older homes naturally have more gaps, so the cost for bat removal will generally be greater on older homes. When considering cost, the condition of the home is everything. That said, we’ll now give you an idea of ballpark cost. For an average 2-story home with relatively good construction, bat exclusion will start-out around $1200-$1800, and it goes up from there. We’ve worked on larger and/or poorly constructed buildings for 3-4 times that cost. Like we said before, pricing is all dependent on the size and condition of your home. The number of bats is irrelevant because the bat exclusion process is performed in the same way, regardless of the number of bats. However, the more bats you have = the more damage that probably needs fixed. Bat droppings and urine can severely damage an attic, but we can help you with all of that, too!

“Why Did Bats Choose To Invade My Home?”

Generally speaking, it can just be a stroke of bad luck when bats invade your home. They could have just as easily got inside the neighbor’s house. However, that is not always the entire truth. Science has found that bats which were born inside man-made structures are far more likely to invade a building once they reach adulthood. Living in a home is much preferred for these types of bats, because they are used to the benefits a man-made building provides. The majority of bats are born in natural environments, but as more of that natural environments is destroyed in order to construct homes for people, the more common bat infestation becomes. These animals have been here a lot longer than we have, so they are simply adapting to the changes humankind has forced upon them.

Bats prefer living in man-made structures due to the ideal conditions the home offers. Such as, for raising young, and being sheltered from outside conditions. Wouldn’t you rather live in a nice comfy attic, as opposed to a damp cave or log? Sure you would. And so do the bats!

Most Bats Congregate As Females

99% of the time, bats invading a home will be congregated in what is known as a “maternity colony.” Maternity colonies are a group of bats which are all female. They join together to work as a team in raising their young. They also congregate for the purpose of cuddling together to share body heat. That’s right – in order to stay warm, bats will “ball up” to form one big comfy bat ball.

Some bats stay up north to hibernate, while other species migrate south for the winter. The most common home-invading species of bat is the Big Brown Bat. They hibernate inside your attic during the winters, preserving as much body fat as they can. To preserve their fat, they must avoid burning calories by not moving around much. Burning calories during hibernation = death by starvation. So it’s unwise to disturb a bat colony during the winter months. In conclusion, count your lucky stars that you were born human, and not a bat!
