Bats are an important species to the Greater Boston area ecosystem because of their tendency to feed on common pests, like mosquitoes. However, bats can become pests themselves if they decide to take up space in your Newton home or business. Bat removal is a delicate process that requires the time and attention only a licensed expert can provide. If you’re dealing with invasive bats on your Newton property, contact the professionals at Critter Control® of Boston as soon as possible for expert bat removal services.
Common Signs of Invasive Bats
Bats will leave several telltale clues if they’ve made their way inside your Newton property. If you suspect you have a bat problem, look for the following signs:
- Squeaking, scratching or fluttering noises coming from the attic, particularly at dawn or dusk
- Small, oily stains or streaks around your walls and along ceilings
- Strong, unpleasant smell coming from the attic or walls
- Fresh bat droppings (also known as guano) left around your property
- More bats around your property than usual
- Household pets behaving nervously
The longer bats are allowed to roost on your property, the more time they have to damage critical areas of your home or business. As soon as you notice any of the above signs, it’s important to call Critter Control® of Boston to start the bat removal process.
The Dangers Posed by Invasive Bats
Bat removal can be a complicated and risky process because the critters can bite or scratch if they feel threatened by humans. Bat can also spread dangerous respiratory diseases and through their toxic guano if it is inhaled. Attempting to remove bats from your property on your own is not only dangerous, but it can also be illegal. Due to their protected legal status, bats can only be removed at certain times of the year by a licensed and trained professional. For help getting rid of bats in the Greater Boston area, rely on Critter Control® of Boston for help.
