The Greater Boston area is home to several types of nuisance wildlife, including bats. While bats hold a unique role in the local ecosystem as providers of natural pest control, they can quickly become a problem if they choose to nest in your Waltham home or business. Fortunately, you don’t have to deal with bats on your own. Contact the professionals at Critter Control® of Boston for safe and effective bat removal services for infestations of any size.
Common Signs of Bats
It can be easy to tell if bats have nested in your attic, as long as you know what signs to look for. If you suspect you have a nuisance bat problem, keep an eye out for the following signs:
- Noises: Listen for high-pitched squeaks and fluttering noises as bats make their way in and out of your home or business. Bats will be most active at dawn and dusk, when they enter and exit your property to hunt down insects.
- Property Damage: Bats’ nesting process can create property damage along your roof or in your attic. Check vulnerable spots in the attic, and look for any cracks along the interior and exterior of your home. You may also see claw marks along support beams where the bats are roo
- Droppings: Bat feces, also known as guano, is particularly distinct from other types of wildlife. This corrosive and toxic material has a strong, unpleasant odor that you may notice throughout your property.
- Disease: Bats can bring dangerous health risks and infectious diseases inside your Waltham property through parasites and fleas as well as their toxic droppings.
The more time bats have to nest, the more problems they can cause for you and your loved ones. That’s why, as soon as you notice any signs of bats, it’s time to call the experts at Critter Control® of Boston.
