Bat eradication and property remediation Answers
a)not generally,however they can carry rabies,West
Nile and their harbourages are vectors of fungal bacteria.
b) Bat eclusion is simple,you just plug holes.You have to
get them out first.Thats why we do bat treatments in the fall and winter when the bats have left for the caves. We come back
to make sure they dont.
c)Observation is critical.Knowing where entry points are and the number of bats we are
dealing with. In the spring and summer we analyze the problem and make recommendations.In the fall we seal the building,clean
and disinfect the premises.
d)we set up an 2 year inspection plan to ensure that the repairs made are holding and
the premise is as tight as possible.They will always come back to where they were born,so we use bat houses as an alternate
habitat.
