HELP US HELP YOU SUCCESSFULLY CONTROL BATS

Basic steps to ensure a successful Bat Control Service.

“Bats are our friends,” and in Southern California they are among the species that are protected. Therefore, we do not kill bats. Bats are beneficial. Generally, a bat consumes about one-third of its weight in insects each night, with some species eating up to 3,000 mosquitoes a day. Other species, such as the lesser long-nosed bat, are important pollinators in desert and tropical ecosystems. Federal policy recommends “bat-proofing” or exclusion of bats from dwellings.

Here are recommendations to keep bats from homing in on your home after a Bat Control Service.

  • Eliminate sources of food and water. Get rid of high concentrations of insect colonies or nests, including hornets, wasps, and mosquitoes.
  • Hummingbird feeders often attract bats. Place feeders away from the home or other structures on your property.
  • Change bird bath water often and move the baths away from the house.
  • Change outdoor pet watering dishes daily.
  • Check gutters and clear debris that can hold water or keep it from draining.
  • Eliminate other still-water sources such as trash cans, buckets, and other items.
  • Eliminate areas that can provide them with shelter. Light up areas, such as doorways, eaves, patios and pool areas at night. Bats roost in areas of deep shade or darkness.
  • Make sure your home is secure. Eliminate access to interior spaces. Fix holes in screens and roof vents. Keep doors closed at night or install screen doors.
  • Keep your yard clear of debris and your plantings pruned and trees trimmed.
  • If you would like to take advantage of the bats’ quality insect control on your property, consider installing bat houses, but do so away from your home.
