π§ The Psychology of Bats
Bats are nocturnal mammals that seek out quiet, dark spaces to roost
They prefer warmth and elevation β attics, chimneys, and high rooflines are ideal
Bats donβt break into your space β they follow air currents, squeezing through gaps as small as β of an inch
Their colonies often go unnoticed until you smell guano (droppings), hear chirping, or spot them at dusk
π How They Access Your Home or Building
Common entry points include:
Roofline gaps
Chimney flues
Attic vents
Soffits
Openings in siding or fascia boards
Bats donβt chew their way in β they exploit existing structural flaws, often where warm air escapes
π‘οΈ How We Prevent Them From Coming Back
Once the bats are gone, we provide permanent sealing solutions:
High-grade galvanized mesh, roofline repair, chimney caps, vent covers, and foam sealants
We inspect the entire structure for weak points, not just the obvious ones
We provide a warranty on all exclusion work performed by our team
π Note: Because bats are protected, we only perform exclusions outside of maternity season (typically AprilβAugust in Illinois), unless thereβs a health hazard.
