There are some spaces that bats favor over the other and one of these spaces happens to be isolated from the rest of the house, namely the attic. The reason why the attic remains such a perfect spot for bats is that they need two basic requirements. Shelter and seclusion. This is because bats are classified as nocturnal animals who are active at night but inactive by day.
 The space seems to be the perfect combination of the two considering that the attic is rarely visited.
The relative stable temperatures during extreme heat or cold makes it a perfect shelter away from predators to rear their young.
Bats can also choose unconventional spots to remain tucked away from humans. In most cases, however, this is not intentional. Younger bats, who can’t fly often find themselves stuck in between the narrow openings. To free them, specialists are needed with protective gear as they might attack.
 Every outward-facing point can be exploited by bats and other wildlife animals such as raccoons and squirrels, and this also applies to ventilation pipes and vents placed on the side of the walls and roofs. Professionals know what bats are capable of and can advise homeowners what to do against these areas.
When it comes to protected wildlife animals such as bats, we take the time and precautions needed to remove them according to provincial guidelines and measures. We assure you that our exclusion work can stand the test of time at an affordable price. See a few of our examples and let our work speak for us.
To understand the situation that our customers are in, we conduct an exterior inspection as well as an interior inspection when needed. This allows us to determine the exact location of the entry points that the bats use to get inside the property and effectively seal it. In most cases, bats will use one entry point to enter and exit the property. The technician will also make notes of additional weak points and will relay this information to the homeowner.
The technician will seal all the other entry points located during the initial inspection. After the main entry point is located, the technician will mount a cone-like device The cone shape allows the bats to exit the property as it looks for water and food. Once the bats pass through the bat cone they cannot re-enter and will go away. The bat cone inflicts no harm as it just gives the bats a way to leave the property easily.
After it is determined that the bats vacated the property, the technicians will begin with the last step in the process, the exclusion. The bat cone will be removed and the entry point will be sealed with flashing made out of enforced aluminum plates. This prevents other wildlife animals such as raccoons or squirrels from coming in and taking advantage of the weak spot.
The Big Brown Bat is a protected species in Ontario. They can be recognized by their golden- brown fur, black wings, their short snout, and their pointy long ears. They grow up to about 13cm in length. They eat a steady diet of mostly insects like mealworms, cockroaches, beetles, and flies. The Big Brown Bat is a nocturnal creature meaning that it is inactive during the day and active during the night. One of the signs during nighttime can be rustles, screeches, and thumps indicating that they are active. The bats are often found in colonies and generally pose no threat. They hibernate during the colder months in the winter and give birth around spring. It is important to note that they cannot be removed from homes during specific times of the month.

Although very similar in appearance, the Small Brown Bat just as the name implies is smaller in size and can measure up to 9 cm in length. It is also nocturnal and survives on a diet of various insects as well.
Bats can release incredible foul odors when they are in a tight space with no ventilation. This is why attics are such a threat to the overall well-being of occupants. Bat guano or bat poop can be incredibly dangerous to those who are exposed to it indirectly or directly. Spaces that bats occupy can be only described as a cesspool and need professional intervention to deodorize and sanitize them.
Bats are relatively harmless animals but can cause a lot of material damage just by occupying space. They can quickly turn a space into a mess. The best solution is to
be vigilant at all times especially during the warmer months in the summer and during the summer when they go into hibernation.

Most people do not know that bats are critical when it comes to the local ecosystem. This is why they are protected animals. When you do see a bat in your house, you can readily assume that you are dealing with either one of two bat species: The big brown bat and the little brown bat. These two bats can be recognized by their golden-reddish fur, short snouts, black wings, and long pointy ears. These two bats are relatively harmless. The little brown bat is categorized as an endangered species under Schedule 1 under the Species at Risk Act. Causing bats harm, in general, will lead to hefty fines. This is why bat cases should be left to professionals who have the right tools and knowledge required to deal with bats.
