Bat Removal Villa Hills, KY (41017): Tri-State Wildlife Management is busy with bats. One of the most obvious signs of bat entry in a home or business is the presence of bat guano near an entry point. The picture above is from a house in Villa Hills, KY where bats are entering near the gutter.

According to the Internet Center for Wildlife Damage Management, bats defecate right before going into their entry point and below their roost site. Bat droppings are similar to mouse droppings, so the following are some indicators that you’re dealing with bats and not mice: a shiny appearance from insect contents, clusters of droppings (latrines), and crumbly when dry. It is important to note, however, that a fungus that grows on  bat guano releases spores that can cause Histoplasmosis, so care should be taken with bat guano. Check out the Centers for Disease Control for more information on Histoplasmosis.

As always, TSWM strongly recommends to the home or business owner that all at-risk or vulnerable areas also be repaired / strengthened because after bats are excluded, they will attempt (usually successfully) to get in from other areas, and we’re back at square one.

Once bat(s) are accustomed to a building, they return every year and use it as a maternal roost where they have and raise their young. This habit is perpetuated when the once juvenile females return and have their own young. Essentially, year after year, the number of bats in a structure multiplies if not dealt with effectively.

For Bat Removal and Exclusion Services in Ft. Mitchell, KY (41017) or anywhere in the NKY/Cincy/SE IN Area, Call Tri-State Wildlife Management at (859) 635-0037.

Tri-State Wildlife Management receives many calls throughout the summer from home and business owners who have seen a bat(s) in their living space. Bats who fly into the living spaces of homes are oftentimes juveniles just learning to fly. Much like the human teenage population that is known for making bad decisions and trouble making, bat teenagers follow the same trend.  As a general rule, July tends to be the hardest hit month as far as Tri-State Wildlife going on home inspections in response to customers with this particular bat problem. Juveniles tend to start flying in later July.

Although July is still during the “blackout” period when wildlife control operators do not exclude bats because of non-violent (non-flying) young, we can certainly begin any preliminary work on the home so it’s ready for exclusion when the blackout period is over in August. August and September are the months set aside to perform the vast majority of the bat exclusion work for the season; however, Tri-State Wildlife Management is experiencing an unusually high bat call volume, specifically, calls about bats flying around in the living spaces of homes even this late in August. So although it’s a bit late for such a high volume of newly flying bats, TSWM is still completing many bat inspections while also performing bat exclusion work.

According to Brooke Slack, bat biologist for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, this year’s bat maternity timetable was later than usual, which explains the flying delay of juvenile bats and why they are entering the living spaces of homes more now in late August instead of more in late July.

TSWM went on 2 bat inspections in Kenton County, KY yesterday, both of which had bats in its living space. One bat inspection was performed on a home in Ft. Mitchell, KY and the other in Crescent Springs, KY.

Bat Removal Ft. Mitchell, KY (41017 zip code): The Ft. Mitchell, KY home has bat entry in only two places. Just as important though, a good inspector is also looking for vulnerable areas that can and almost certainly will cause problems immediately following exclusion if the vulnerable/at risk issue is not corrected. Bat inspections are very sensitive work, and there is absolutely no room for error.

Bat Removal Crescents Springs, KY: The Crescent Springs, KY home has multiple bat entries, some of which are illusive to home owners and less skilled wildlife control operators.

Tri-State Wildlife Management is focusing solely on bat work right now, both making repairs on at-risk areas on homes and installing bat excluder doors at bat entry and exit points. In addition, new bat customers are calling in daily, so our technicians are also busy completing bat consultations and inspections. Today, TSWM technicians are working for bat customers in Ft.

Bat Removal Ft. Wright, KY: Today, Andrew is completing bat exclusion on a home in Ft. Wright, KY while Andy is finishing up a home in Cold Spring KY. Andrew is sealing all at-risk areas on the home with specialized wildlife restoration products that WILL stand the test of time and the persistence of all bats habituated to this house. The outcome is to prevent bats from entering these at-risk areas once they are excluded from their current bat entry(s).  Some at-risk areas on this home include some construction gaps between the fascia and brick and along a dormer.  On this home, bats have entrypoints under the fascia at one of the peaks of the gable where it meets the roofline and through 2 attic gable vents. These areas will have bat excluding vents installed and sealed.

Bat Removal Lakeside Park, KY (41017) – (859) 635-0037 – Tri-State Wildlife Management

For Bat Removal and Exclusion Services in Lakeside Park, KY (41017) or anywhere in the NKY/Cincy/SE IN area, call Tri-State Wildlife Management at (859) 635-0037.

August is a big month for bat exclusion work since full bat exclusion may begin as early as August 15th; however, much can be done before that date rolls around. Tri-State Wildlife Management technicians are busy completing all of the preliminary bat exclusion work so that bat exclusion equipment can be set up in a timely manner when the time comes. Today, TSWM technician Andrew is working for bat customers in Lakeside Park, KY and Cold Spring, KY.

Bat Removal Lakeside Park, KY (41017): The Lakeside Park, KY home is a very typical job in which Andrew is sealing all at-risk areas on the home with specialized wildlife restoration products. The idea is to prevent bats from entering these at-risk areas once they are exclued from their current bat entry(s). In addition, Andrew is also installing a bat deterrant chimney cap over the chimney flue so bats cannot roost in the chimney flue or get into the house from the fireplace. On this particular house in Lakeside Park, KY, bats are using louver vents to gain access to the attic.

Tri-State Wildlife Management waits to hear from the bat biologist on staff at the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife before excluding bats from their entries. Once we have the go ahead, bat exclusion equipment will be installed on both louver vents. After ensuring no bats are inside the home, the bat exclusion equipment is uninstalled and the entryways are repaired appropriately. TSWM uses only the best wildlife deterrent materials and practices while also taking every step possible to leave homeowners with an aesthetically pleasing repair.

Roosting Bats

Bat Removal Northern Kentucky

Summertime brings with it many pleasant experiences –vacations, grill outs, swimming, boating, mosquitoes, bats –er wait…come again? Okay, so although summer has its benefits, we also must recognize its drawbacks. Oftentimes summer evenings are plagued by unwanted guests –mosquitoes. You might also sight another air bound creature having its own feast –bats.

Bats are great mammals to have around, as they hunt mosquitoes and other insects at dusk, just when insects’ presence are at their climax. However, bats become unwelcome guests when they find a nice comfortable home in your home or business, entering through construction gaps, unsecured louver vents, chimneys, or any hole larger than 3/8 inches. Homes and buildings are great places for bats to use as maternal roosts, which is a place to raise their young before they are able to fly. If your home or business is occupied by bats, you may witness bats going in and out, or bat droppings (guano) underneath the bats’ main entrance(s). The end of June/beginning of July marks the time of year when juvenile bats are able to leave their roosts for night feedings on insects, so Tri-State Wildlife Management unsurprisingly has seen a spike in bat calls.

What should you do if you find yourself sharing your home or business with bats? Tri-State Wildlife Management offers a solution to your bat problem. The phone at TSWM is ringing off the hook, and lately, bats are the main reason for all of the phone calls. How can Tri-State Wildlife Management help? Our courteous staff will work for you to provide a cost effective solution to your bat intrusion or damage issue. As a full service company we will initiate an Integrated Management Plan beginning with a full bat inspection and customer education followed by bat removal and exclusionclean-up, repair/restoration and prevention. During this process, no bats are harmed and they easily find another place to lodge nearby.

Bats are protected under federal and state law; however, Tri-State Wildlife Management has the expertise and experience to offer legal and humane exclusions and repairs. A bat’s seasonal cycle, such as roosting and dispersal periods, affect how and when they can be removed from your home or business. Full bat exclusion is not permissible until approximately mid-August in order to ensure that all juveniles are able to fly out of a structure. Bat entry points should only be repaired after ensuring that all bats have left the structure. A biologist on staff with your state’s Fish and Wildlife division gives the final okay as to when total bat exclusion can commence. Since a bat’s persistence often results in them attempting to use new entry points into a structure after their main entry is sealed, Tri-State Wildlife Management offers effective solutions to this issue as great. All attics if not sealed properly run the risk of needing bat removal at one time or another. A contractor’s or homeowner’s repairs and materials may not keep bats out of your home. Wildlife grade materials properly installed by TSWM are guaranteed. When addressing a bat issue in your home or business, best practices should always be used. The experienced professionals at Tri-State Wildlife Management will provide you with a cost effective solution to your bat issue.
