Nuisance
Bats??
|
|
You probably don't have bats in your belfry, but you
may have bats in your building.
A small colony (<100) may not be noticed, but larger colonies are
often unwanted and vulnerable.
If you have a bat problem please contact Fly By Night, Inc.
for safe solutions that work.
|
|
What to Look For
|
|
Evidence of bat activity includes staining around small
exterior openings and gaps (1/2 inch or greater), guano on walls or
surfaces below roost entrance, musky odor, high pitched chirps or squeaks
|

Eviction and Exclusion Methods
|
|
FBN uses proven methods that ensure the bats can leave
the building safely (= eviction), but they can’t get back
in (exclusion). Guaranteed. The process may take a considerable
amount of time, since some bats will roost longer than others. FBN NEVER
uses chemicals or other means that harass, harm or kill bats in any way.
Exclusions are not performed during maternity season (15 April – late
August).
|
|
It’s Bat Management, Not Control
FBN bat-proofs the entire structure and the evicted bats must move
elsewhere.
We strongly encourage the installation of bat
houses to mitigate roost loss & provide bats
with a safe alternative to a nearby building. Bat houses should be installed prior
to exclusion & as close as possible to the original roost site. Please see our list of clients.
