If you haven\u2019t already I recommend that you first watch my video on bat basics. That video explains why and how bats get into our houses & living spaces. By the way, what I am about to tell you only really applies to Ontario bat problems.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How to know if you really have a bat problem<\/strong> Now North Americas most abundant bat species the big brown lives quietly in millions of houses, across Ontario. It is estimated that more than 95% of all residential bat colonies in Ontario are big brown bats. Most enter and exit buildings high up and only need a tiny gap to squeeze into your roof. Bats are quiet, nocturnal and most of their colonies are quite small, which makes it easy for them to live in our houses unnoticed. Also, bats don\u2019t go out every night or at the same time or even in the same place. While many homeowners assume the bat came in a door or window, bats show up inside houses because they generally live in the walls (not attics, which are too hot in summer and too cold in winter). After entering the roof they use gaps beside plumbing pipes and chimneys to get into the walls and often can travel all the way down the wall to an unfinished space like a basement or furnace room. Once inside they move from room to room by crawling under doors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] How Serious Is My Bat Problem?

\nWhen most homeowners think \u201cbat problem\u201d they usually imagine dozens of bats pouring out of a roof at dusk. The reality is that most residential \u201cbat problems\u201d are far more subtle and it\u2019s pretty rare for homeowners to even see one bat fly out of their roof. In fact most homeowners only discover they have a bat problem when one shows up inside their home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
