Bat Problems in Toledo?
A bat can be a startling creature to see flitting around outside, and especially terrifying when they get inside your home—whether accidentally or intentionally. Notorious for nesting and creating roosting sites inside buildings, bats are active almost exclusively at night. Their preferred nesting areas are warm and dry. The most common bat species in Toledo are little brown bats and big brown bats.
Common Bat Problems
Though bats typically stay out of the way of humans, the small critters still aren't welcome guests in your home, business or outbuildings. A few common bat problems include:
- Bat infestations inside attics and chimneys
- Bat presence in attics can soil insulation, leading to increased energy costs.
- A bat in the chimney is not only a safety concern, but the droppings left behind can get into your home.
- Call Critter Control if you hear chirping, scratching, or squeaking coming from your attic, as bat infestations can cause damage quickly.
- Bat droppings, also known as guano, can harbor dangerous fungal spores like histoplasmosis.
