Vienna Bats in Attic Removal
703-881-31708
Vienna, VA bats in the attic is a very common call we receive all thru ought the year. Vienna and surrounding cities have been experiencing an upswing in bat populations over the last 3 years. This is putting bats into homes and buildings that have been bat free for decades. We are finding bats in and around the Vienna County Office buildings such as the courthouse and many local churches. The number of bats that are found in an attic can reach well into the thousands. So it is best to have an inspection done by a qualified wildlife control company as soon as it is discovered that they could be living in your attic.
Why should we remove bats from our attic
Bats are one of the most beneficial animals in Vienna, VA, they however carry and are associated with several different types of diseases. Histoplasmosis is one disease that is associated with bats living in large groups. This disease is devolved in bat guano (bat droppings) that accumulates in large piles where bats typically roost. This is a fungal disease that will show itself usually as a lung infection. This disease is typically misdiagnosed as the flu. Another disease that is associated with bats is rabies. Bats are a known carrier of rabies in Vienna, VA but the number of cases in Virginia is relatively low.
What are some signs I have bats?
Some of the signs that you may see that indicate that you have bats in your attic are bat droppings, You will see bat droppings on your deck, your porches, the sides of your home, or any other place where bats take flight from above. Bats will defecate before they fly, which in a sense, lightens their load. These droppings will accumulate over time in places that are noticeable such as on your front or back porch. You will notice these droppings. They look similar to rat droppings, however, if you smash them you will see mosquito wings reflecting in the excrement. (I know it sounds gross) but is often necessary to tell the difference. You can also find more information on other bat situations such as bat guano removal from attic and also some good generalized information on removal of bats from attic.Several different types of bats can be found in the Vienna, VA area. There is the little brown Bat, The Big Brown Bat, The Virginia Bat, and several others; all of these bats are protected by the state and the government. Bats are one of the most beneficial animals in the state. Great care should be taken while trying to solve bat/human conflicts.
How do we get rid of bats?
Removing bats from the attic area can be very difficult. There are no sprays or poisons that are registered for bats and since they enjoy a protected status it is illegal to kill them. This leaves only one solution. It is called a bat exclusion. Bat exclusion is a process of sealing a home of all possible entry points and allowing the bats to exit thru a tube called an excluder. This is a very detailed process, if done incorrectly it could result in bats being forced into the living quarters of homes and buildings, which creates many more problems besides the bats in the attic. We would be more than happy to do a no-obligation inspection of your home. Just give us a call.
