It’s not uncommon for a bat to accidentally get inside a house. They follow air currents, and sometimes the cool air seeping from a drafty attic is enough for them to end up indoors. Once inside, it’s easy to lose sight of the bat. Before you seek professional bat removal services, it’s best to learn which parts of your house you’d likely find these unwanted pests.

3 Parts of Your Home Where Bats May Hide

1. Within the Curtains

Most of the bats in the United States are smaller than you may think, with some species being the size of a thumb. Since they’re small, it’s easy to lose sight of them when they fly around a room. However, if they disappear suddenly, they’re likely attached to the curtains around the window. When they tire from flying, they will hang on the window treatment to rest because curtains are soft and easy to grab. 

2. Attic Spaces

The attic is perhaps one of the most unsurprising locations inside your home where you may find bats. These animals prefer dark, cave-like places to roost, making an attic a perfect hiding spot. Even if you don’t physically see the bats, you will hear the flapping of their wings or see guano piles along attic walls, window sills, and floors. When it comes to this part of the house, you will need professional bat removal services because there may be a colony of bats hiding up there, not just one.

3. Wall Voids

Bats can also infiltrate the void between your walls by squeezing through cracks or holes in external walls. A lack of insulation is usually the reason why these animals can get inside the walls. This creates a problem because they could get stuck and die, attracting other pests and insects.

You can prevent these pests from getting inside your wall by insulating any visible gaps. However, if one is already inside, contact a bat removal company.
