<\/a>How to Tell of You Have Bats in Your Apartment<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Whether one or a dozen, you do not want bats in your apartment. Not only are they known carriers of infectious diseases like Rabies and Leptospirosis, but they are also highly destructive to their surroundings. They can chew through electrical wires, destroy insulation, and soil everything in sight, including insulation, floorboards, drywall, and more. To top it all off, they can also carry and transmit a pest similar to bed bugs, called bat mites<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best way to learn if you have bats in the apartment is to do a quick visual and audio assessment. Take a comprehensive walk around all areas of your dwelling and take note of anything that might resemble bat activity or presence. The most common signs of bats in the house include hearing distinct animal noises, smelling odd odors in localized spots, finding animal droppings, and seeing stains on the walls or ceilings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If bats are in your apartment, they are likely hiding within the wall voids, chimney, or attic areas. Of course, they could be other places too, but these are the most common spots. If there is more than one bat, they can usually be heard during peak activity hours. If you hear strange sounds like chattering, squeaking, shuffling, or chirping coming from within your home, it could very well be bats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bats are not usually solitary, so infestations tend to get quite messy, quite fast. Bat droppings, both urine and guano, will accumulate and eventually seep through insulation, floorboards, drywall, and ceilings. Not only will this cause yellow or brown stains on your walls and ceiling, but it will also create lingering odors within the living areas of your apartment. So, as you walk through your apartment to take a quick assessment, keep your eyes and nose open for strange odors and mysterious stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finding animal droppings is another common indication that you have a pest somewhere loose in your home. Bat guano looks very similar to rodent droppings, so it is often mistaken for a mouse or rat infestation. You can distinguish back guano from rodent droppings by focusing on where you find them. Bats like to perch on windowsills, door frames, and similar types of awnings. If you find animal droppings around the edges or on the ground below, it is a good indication that it came from a bat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you just complete your assessment and now you strongly suspect that you have bats in the apartment?<\/strong> Contact Indianapolis Bat Removal<\/a> at 317-535-4605 to schedule a critter control home inspection for bats or bat removal in Indianapolis, Indiana<\/a>.
