Bats in Attic Lexington

Bats will oftentimes live in an attic or crawl space in Lexington, KY, and in some cases, they will make their way into the living spaces of your Lexington, KY home, or business. With a properly ventilated attic, bats can easily survive the heat as long as a draft is present. But when the outside temperature drops the bats will seek warmer areas of the attic in order to raise their body heat to a comfortable level. In many cases, the bats will move deep into the wall cavities or even get under the insulation to seek a warmer place to roost.

Bats in Attic Lexington KY

Bats raise their young called pups in attics, crawlspace, and wall cavities. The bat birthing season in Kentucky is from May to August. A single bat pup is the normal litter for the Little and Big Brown bats but may have up to two. Baby bat pups will fly with the adult bat while they are feeding or may stay behind while the parent bat is out of the roosting site.

This is one of the main reasons that it is critical not to evict them during the birthing season as you may trap the bats inside the structure. If you suspect you have bats in your attic then we recommend you call a professional bat removal company such as AAAC Wildlife Removal of Louisville. Our trained and certified professionals can assist you with all of your bat removal needs.

During the birthing season extra care has to be taken in order to protect non flying baby bats from being left in the roosts. Baby bats can fly at around four weeks of age and at that time they begin to leave the roosts with the adult bats.

In most cases, we cannot remove the bats during the birthing season but our certified bat professionals can inspect the bat roost and determine if the bats in your attic are a maternal colony with young nonflying pups. If the pups are unable to fly our bat removal professionals can start the exclusion process and complete the exclusion procedure once the baby bats are able to leave on their own.

When bats are trapped inside, they will try to get outside and in their panic to find a way out will often move into the living area of the home or business. The bats will follow the flow of air in search of an outside exit. It could either be through a gap in the wall, the attic access door or any other crack or crevice but these openings are how bats get in a houses inhabited areas.

If you have a bat in your house, we recommend you call a professional bat removal company such as AAAC Wildlife Removal of Lexington to assist you with the bat. We will remove the bat from your house and have it tested for rabies by the Fayette County Health Department. Our certified bat inspectors will also conduct a complete exterior inspection of your home and determine if there are more bats in the attic or wall cavities.

During our certified inspection, we will cover your home from rooftop to foundation, and identify all bat entry points and openings that are large enough for a bat to enter. Bats can enter an opening of 3/8 inch or larger and oftentimes they will have multiple entry points to their roosting sites. Our bat professionals will then give you a detailed report of our findings and the recommended steps for a complete solution to your bat problems.

We also identify any wastes such as bat guano that may have been deposited into your attic or walls by the bats. Bat guano can be hazardous to human health and our bat experts can assist you with the clean-up and remediation of any bat waste.
