How to control bats in and around the house

2014-07-14に共有
Bats are an important part of the natural ecosystem; however, problems arise when they make their home in your house. The best approach for dealing with bats in your house is to exclude them; finding and then sealing off (after the bats leave for the night) where they are entering your house to prevent them from re-entering. This video provides step-by-step instructions for bat-proofing your house.

  • Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a more well put together instructional video. He was very knowledgeable, and I believe he answered every question I thought of.

    As an instructor in many capacities throughout my life and as an owner of a pest control company, I just want to say, this is an outstanding video with all the right information. I can't improve on this for training and will require anyone involved with Bat exclusion to view this video. I no longer have to continue searching for a solid training program or create one myself with this great information. Obviously, I will still be involved to ensure they get it right, but this video will definitely be a great foundation to start trainees with. Excellent!
  • I’m watching your video at 3am because I was woken to scramblings at my windows of what I think was a bat trying to find a way in! I know what I’ll be doing these next few days! Thanks a lot for your great video and wonderfully smart approach to dealing with a bat issue 👍🏼. Thanks!
  • Thank you! You are a gentle man. Everything you said is nice and clear. Sadly, my wife found a small reddish brown bat being eaten by fire ants this morning. I felt sad and determined to build a nice bathouse for the other living bats. We have feral cats, hawks, fox, gray wolves, squireels and owls. So, I want to help them too. I appreciate you sharing this video!
  • Thanks James. You obviously care about wildlife as do I. Will follow your plans and try to evict these animals wish me luck.
  • Great job! A friend of mine is in the nuisance wildlife trapping business and your report is one of the most thorough I've seen.
  • Thanks for a complete, comprehensive and humane approach to our bat abatement.
  • fare play to you man great info I've counted 65 plus bats leaving a gap in my house the other evening so I'm going to try one of your tips and see how it goes for me thanks 👍
  • Very thorough. And most professional video I have seen on this.Thank you very much!

    Excellent video! I was at a wedding reception last night & a few bats were cleaning up the insects, there. Awesome!
  • Excellent. I noticed some droppings outside near the house (I thought it was a large mouse or rat) but discovered it was coming from the eaves. My cat alerted at a window and I went to look and it was a hanging bat looking thru the window. So cute. Pretty big though. House survey today and bat watch tonight. Bats are great but not in the house, if in fact they are getting in. They may just be hanging from wire mesh I put up to keep out birds. We'll see. It is August so this may be a long observation before valves, if any.
  • Like others say let the licensed pros come and deal with them. This is spot on though, exactly the process you have to take.
  • Back in the '50s the night skies were full of bats; we'd throw rocks up in the air and watch them dive until it got to dark to see them. I can't remember the last time I saw a bat outside of the zoo; maybe 20 years ago?
  • Thanks, J. Michael.   Very thorough and informative.
  • I live in three story townhome could a bat get in our attic although I have no access to it? I hear sounds especially in my bedroom ceiling. I thought it was a squirrel and I found a strange bug either bat bug or bes bug, but I found some droppings too.
