π¦ Think bats in your attic can be removed immediately? Think again.
Many Ontario homeowners are surprised to learn that bat exclusions are restricted during maternity season. From May 1 to July 31, bat pups depend on their mothers, and removing bats during this period can leave young bats trapped inside your home.
β οΈ Important facts every homeowner should know:
β
Bat exclusion is restricted during maternity season
β
Bats commonly enter attics through tiny openings in roofs and soffits
β
Any direct contact with a bat should be treated as a potential rabies exposure and requires immediate medical attention
β
Professional inspections can identify entry points and help you prepare for safe exclusion when permitted
If you've noticed scratching noises, droppings, or bats around your property, don't wait until the problem grows.
