Bat FAQ's

Getting rid of bats begins with a thorough inspection by the team of experts at Abra Kadabra to identify areas where they can enter the home. Once we find those areas, we’ll seal them off to prevent bats from coming inside in the future because we know from experience that they will certainly try!

In high-traffic areas, we’ll install bat valves during the season when they’re most active but not during the season when they’re reproducing. Why? Because we don’t want to end up killing a protected species of bats! Once we install the valves, they’ll stay up a minimum of three nights provided the weather is good (no rain, wind or extreme temperatures) and insects – the bats’ main food source – are active outside. After the valves have been up long enough and the bats have left the home,  we’ll bat-proof your home and do the final exclusion work. Then, we’ll come back to make sure the bats haven’t found another way inside or set up a roosting site outside where you can be exposed to their droppings. At that point, we’ll give your home the Abra Kadabra seal of approval. But wait – there’s more! Because our pest control technicians are cross trained on what to look for in terms of bats, they’ll keep an eye out for any areas that might be compromised during their routine service visits. This helps us be proactive in protecting your home and family from future bat issues.
