Bats are beautiful, fascinating creatures, but they don't make the best house guests. And unfortunately, when they enter a home, it can be hard to convince them to leave. The bat removal experts at American Bio-Tech Wildlife Services specialize in humanely removing wildlife following DEEP guidelines throughout the state of Connecticut. When it comes to bats, the laws and regulations regarding removal are much more restrictive than they are for other species. Luckily, the bat control specialists are here to explain exactly what you need to do if one enters your home.

The most important thing you should remember upon discovering a bat in your home is not to touch it or harass it. Bats aren't vicious creatures, but they are known to bite when threatened or stressed, so avoid handling them. Instead, you should contact a wildlife control specialist immediately.

Bat removal is different from other types of animal control. Since bats are a protected species, you're not allowed to relocate them by trapping them. Fortunately, trained experts know exactly how to properly handle the situation.

Bat RemovalTypically, bats take up residence or find their way into attics or crawlspaces, as opposed to flying into a main area of your home. In such cases, your wildlife control expert will seal the area where the animals are roosting and install a one-way door that allows them to leave but not return. They may also suggest you install a bat home in your yard to give the creatures a more suitable, less intrusive option.

If by chance, a bat has found its way into your living room or some other regularly used area of your home, the bat removal specialist will ask you and your family to vacate the premises temporarily, along with any pets. They will then open the windows and doors to encourage the animal to leave. Such situations usually occur because the bat has flown down a chimney. So, once it vacates your home, the specialist will seal the entry point to ensure the animal doesn't return.

If bats are living in your home, contact the wildlife control specialists at American Bio-Tech Wildlife Services. Founded by a wildlife biologist, the team uses humanely responsible methods to safely ensure permanent removal of animals. Along with bat removal, they also offer raccoon, skunk, and opossum removal throughout the area. Contact the team by calling (860) 355-1231, or learn more about their services on their website.
