Live bat removal in Newton Massachusetts
This is a live bat removal in Newton Massachusetts. This is a juvenile male small brown bat. (Very typical this time of year)
This bat appeared in their living space, flew around for a few minutes, and then disappeared.
The customer could not locate it, so they called us, Precision Wildlife Services, to see if we could help. The customer was confident they had that bat confined to one room. When I showed up at the house I was not too sure if I could locate the bat. It was mid morning and bats normally sleep during day light hours. After the customer showed me to the room that the bat was in, I was even less confident I would locate the bat. The room was a spare room and it was a little cluttered.
After roughly 3 minutes, I got lucky! While rummaging through the clutter I located the bat between a pair of snow boots. The bat was removed and released outside of the customers house. Upon further inspection of the attic space, I located evidence of a colony. After discussing my findings with the customer, they were eager to evict these bats A.S.A.P.! A few days later the exclusion was performed on the house and the bats were gone within 3 days.

What we are looking at here is a bat one-way cone that was installed at an active area located next to a stone chimney. If you look closely, you will see a bat that is roosting on the outside of the cone.
This is a rare sight!
While we know our tactics to keep the bats out of the house are effective. It is not common to see a bat that was not able to get back inside still "hanging around".
It is not uncommon though for us to find evidence that bats have been roosting.
We receive quite a few calls from existing customers that find bat guano (droppings) on their chimney or on the ground where that bats had used to gain access to the home in the past, prior to the bat exclusion being performed.
Bats are a creature of habit and always return back to where they originated from. For this reason, when treating a structure for a bat problem, it is imperative the entire structure be sealed. If this was not the case the bat you see here would not be "hanging around " on the outside. It would be back inside the voids of the structure continuing to scratch and squeak away, reeking havoc. ◦
