As part of the Greater Boston area, Arlington is surrounded by forests and hills that host an abundance of urban wildlife, including bats. The nocturnal flying mammals are most active at dawn and dusk, when they hunt for common pests, such as mosquitoes and other insects. While bats provide natural pest control, they can quickly become a nuisance if they make their way inside your Arlington property. Fortunately, Critter Control® of Boston is equipped, licensed and trained to provide expert bat removal services to Arlington, MA home and business owners.
6 Telltale Signs of Invasive Bats
While they may be small, bats likely won’t go unnoticed on your Arlington property. If you suspect you’re dealing with a bat problem, keep a lookout for the following signs:
- More bats flying around your property than normal, particularly early in the morning or right at dusk
- Scratching, squeaking or fluttering noises coming from between your walls or in the attic late at night
- Small, rodent-like droppings (also known as guano) with a speckled pattern
- A strong ammonia-like smell around your property
- Household dogs or cats acting strangely or on-edge
- Dark and oily or milky stains around windows, the attic or walls
The longer bats are allowed to roost on your property, the more time they have to cause serious damage and spread dangerous diseases. Therefore, as soon as you notice any of the above signs of bats, call the bat removal experts at Critter Control® of Boston.
