Bat Removal

Adult Bat Removal

Our professionals at SOS Wildlife Control Incorporated can assist you with your Bat control problems. We will come to your home or business and provide a consultation for your unique Bat removal issue. A technician will complete a thorough inspection of your roof and will identify the major entry points of the bats and any other cracks large enough that bats may be able to get in through. We will identify if there are babies involved or if it’s only adults. We take note of the species and the size of colony to better identify steps required for the removal and prevention that is required.

Bats leave each night to eat and drink, thus to perform the exclusion the technician will seal most entry points and attach one way doors over the remaining entry points to allow them to leave but not re-enter. The bats will then fly around and try to find other entry points to gain access back into your attic but will be denied.

It is illegal in Ontario to kill bats. The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNR) regulates rehabilitation of wildlife and bats must be humanely removed and relocated. Bat baby season starts in mid-summer. If you have baby bats in your attic it is illegal to remove them until the babies are old enough to leave the nest. The babies are unable to get food during the maternity season because they cannot fly. If you remove the mothers and block their access to the roost, then the babies are going to starve to death. Depending on the type of bat can lengthen or shortened the amount of time it takes for a bat to be weaned. The age of weaning for Little Brown bats is 14 days while for the Big Brown bat it is 3-4 weeks. Bat removal processes conducted during this time could prevent babies from exiting and could cause their death. Since bats are a protected species, special precautions must be taken to ensure they are not harmed. Call 1.800.981.0330 for more information
