Bat Pest Control
Dracula movies have given bats a bad reputation. In truth, however, bats are not aggressive and they can be very effective in controlling other pests such as mosquitoes. If you have a bat's nest in your home, however, you will need to deal with this problem. So what methods of bat pest control are available and why do you need them?
What's wrong with bats?
Many people are terrified of bats, even though they are actually gentle creatures. However, if bats choose to set up a colony in your home, roof area or garage (and homes have been known to have 50 or more bats nesting in their garage), they can soon become a big pest problem. Bat droppings and urine are very smelly. They also present a biohazard that must be controlled in the form of a fungus growing on the droppings. This can cause a human lung disease called histoplasmosis. In addition, bats can carry parasites, spreading diseases such as rabies.
Bat pest control methods
In the UK, bats are a protected species. Use of any bat pest control product is therefore banned, meaning you must seek professional help for the humane removal of these creatures.
Many bats are endangered species in the USA. For small-scale problems, ultrasonic devices are relatively cheap and can be a highly effective deterrent. If you have a large-scale bat infestation you will need to call in the professional pest controllers. Pest control experts can offer you a range of humane methods for ridding you of bats without killing them, such as bat houses. They can also help with the cleanup afterwards.
