Bat Control Services
Bats might be beneficial to the ecosystem, but when they move into your attic, roof, or ceiling, they quickly become a nuisance. They bring noise, droppings, stains, and sometimes even health risks. If you're hearing fluttering or squeaking sounds above your ceiling, you might have uninvited guests and it’s time to consider professional bat control.
Let’s walk you through why bat control is important, how it works, and what you can expect from Rafiki Pest Control.
Why Bats in Your Home or Business Are a Problem
Bats are protected in many regions because of their role in pest control and pollination. However, inside human spaces, they can cause significant problems:
- Their droppings (guano) accumulate quickly and produce a strong, musty odor
- Guano can lead to respiratory issues like histoplasmosis
- Bats can introduce parasites like bat bugs (similar to bedbugs)
- Noise at night disrupts sleep or peace in offices
- Stains and damage to ceilings or insulation from urine and feces
If left unchecked, a small bat colony can grow fast and create long-term issues that are both expensive and dangerous to fix.
Signs You Might Have a Bat Infestation
Bats are nocturnal, so you’re unlikely to see them during the day. But here are common signs you might notice:
- Fluttering or scratching sounds from the attic or ceiling at night
- Dark stains or streaks near eaves, vents, or openings where bats squeeze in
- Small black or dark brown droppings accumulating near windowsills or the floor
- Strong ammonia-like smell in upper areas of the house
- Sighting of bats flying out at dusk
If any of these signs are familiar, it’s time to inspect further or call in experts.
