""Bats can access your home through small openings, including window cracks, foundational gaps, and openings for electrical wires, vents, and chimneys.""
""Droppings, known as guano, are a sign of bats, characterized by a dry, dusty texture and often found beneath where bats roost.""
As bug season ends, bat activity increases, particularly in attics and chimneys. Bats, although beneficial by consuming mosquitoes, pose serious health risks and can cause significant home damage. It's crucial to seal entry points and recognize signs of infestation. Regions like the Southeast, Midwest, and Northeast are most prone to bat infestations. Bats can enter through openings as small as a quarter inch. Signs of their presence include scratching sounds, droppings, and an ammonia-like odor throughout the home.
