The greater Pittsburgh area is home to several species of nuisance wildlife, including bats. Bats will often take up residence in your property’s attic or crawl spaces because they’re a safe, dark environment that allows them easy access to food, water and shelter. The longer bats are left in your Mt. Lebanon home or business, the greater damages and health risks they can cause. Not only can they cause extensive property damage, but they can also bring serious diseases, such as histoplasmosis, through their droppings or bat droppings. That’s why if you’re dealing with nuisance bats, you’ll want the experts at Critter Control® of Pittsburgh on your side.
Signs of Invasive Bats
Despite their small size, it’s easy to notice if you’re dealing with a bat infestation on your property. If you suspect you have a bat problem, look out for the following signs:
- Noise: Bats are most active at night, when they wake up to hunt. Listen for chirping, scraping and fluttering noises around your attic, particularly around dawn and dusk.
- Droppings: Bats will leave their droppings, also known as guano, in their nesting sites, such as your attic. It will also have a distinct ammonia-like smell that can waft throughout your home or business.
- Bats in Your Neighborhood: Bats follow a pattern to and from their nesting sites. Take a look outside your home in your neighborhood, and see if they fly around your property.
