Have Bats Removed by Trained Professionals

Have Bats Removed by Trained Professionals

According to pest control expert Paul Fougere, bats are very dangerous pests that can pose a real threat to human life. But as they are a protected species, their removal calls for a professional. While Fougere's company Absolut Pest Control is based in Amesbury, MA, it serves the whole North Shore area around Boston, including the rural areas where bats are more prevalent.

Dangerous Diseases

Bats are not just the stuff of horror movies. In reality, they can be problematic, even if they are confined only to the attic of your home. They urinate and defecate everywhere, and they are associated with several dangerous diseases which can even be fatal, such as rabies. They also carry histoplasmosis, a lung disease caused by fungus of spores which are carried in their guano, or droppings.

If you find any bats lying on the ground, be careful and do not touch them. Call the Board of Health to have them removed by a professional, especially if there are children around. They now recommend that if a small child wakes up in a room with a bat, that the child go through a course of rabies shots. You can contract rabies not only from bat bites, but also from their saliva and feces. They are being overly cautious now because if you do contract rabies and do not have it treated within seven days, there is no cure.

Best Treatment

Bats are normally found in the country, where there are a lot of mosquitoes and bugs available for them to eat, so we mainly deal with them there. Bats generally do not frequent a city environment, mainly because there are not as many flying insects prevalent as opposed to in the countryside. However, bats certainly can be present in an outdoor urban situation such as a park or woodland area of the city.

The best treatment for bats is preventative, which includes sealing them out so they cannot get into a house or an overhang. You do not want bats around to violate the structural integrity of a building itself. In a rural setting, putting out bat houses is very effective. A bat house is like a bird house, but instead of a hole in the side like a bird house, the bottom is missing. So the bat will go up inside from the bottom and hang on the interior of the bat house. A bat house is just a home for bats we catch them in there and move them away to a different place.

Traditional Method

Some people talk about sonic devices and things like that, but we have never seen any or had any positive experiences with that actually working. We rely on more traditional method, with exclusion being the most reliable.

We don't want to destroy the bats because they are so beneficial as far as eating insects is concerned. But you do have to be aware that around children, they can carry rabies, and that it is very important not to have bats in a home or a commercial property because of that. If the bats are prolific in a space, we can create a one-way door. It essentially lets the bats out so that they cannot get back in. This way, they can go off somewhere else where they will find harborage.

Bats are a protected species, which is why only trained professionals are licensed to remove them. We are licensed to take care of them, and can also perform necessary repairs to your home or business so they cannot re-enter the premises. Contact Absolut Pest Control for all your pest control needs in Boston and the surrounding area, including bat removal.
