Nobody wants bats to live in their home, and if ignored, these flying critters can eventually cause severe damage to your attic and home. If you think bats are invading your house, you can perform your own initial inspection. However, for proper bat removal, you will need the help of a wildlife control specialist such as the technicians at American Bio-Tech in Sherman, Connecticut.

To find out if your home is vulnerable to a bat infestation, you need to look for evidence of possible entry points. Bats can enter the home in a space that's less than half an inch wide, so it can be easy to overlook areas that are accessible. Therefore, be sure to take your time during your inspection. Guano is the term used for bat droppings, and it’s the easiest way to detect bats. Look for guano on the ground and outside walls of your home; if you find a lot of droppings in an area, it’s likely you’ve stumbled on their entry point.

You can also search for guano in your attic, where bats are known to take up residence. If you don’t have access to your attic, or you cannot find any guano, you can still check your home or roof for urine or potential damage caused by the bats. Even if you don't see the bats, if you find evidence that bats are nearby, it’s important to seal any possible entry points and hire a bat removal specialist.
