Jersey Village, Texas Bat Removal

“Do I Have Bats In My Attic?”

The most common way homeowners or renters determine that they have bats in their attic is by experiencing a bat flying around that has entered the living quarters of a home or structure. While bats will also fly in through an open door or window if the occurrence has happened more than once, it is usually due to bats living up in the attic. If this has happened to you, call us now for Emergency Bat Removal, or if it happened in the past, schedule an inspection.

Other methods of determining if bats are present in a home include:

1. Detailed full home inspections by insurance adjusters.
2. Observing bats fly out of the structure at dusk from their entry point(s.)
3. Finding urine stains on the ceiling or walls.
4. Odor from bat guano that has built up in more severe cases of a bat infestation.
5. And, of course, noises in the attic; bats will make scratching noises on drywall.

“Should I Hire A Company For A Home Inspection?”

The best way to determine if bats are present in a home is to have a licensed Professional Wildlife Control Operator or Company perform a detailed inspection, such as our professionals here at Jersey Village, Texas Bat Removal.

Simply looking in the attic with a flashlight is ineffective and can prolong a problem if the bats are not located. Bats are usually not visible when you look or even crawl into the attic space. Bats will frequently rest in an area that is not visible, including inside wall voids and in crevices that can be located in any part of the attic.

As of my last training data in September 2021, there are three bat species most commonly found roosting in buildings and homes in Texas. However, you should check the latest bat information from local Jersey Village, Texas, wildlife organizations to get the most accurate and current data. Here are the three bat species:

1. Mexican Free-Tailed Bats (Tadarida brasiliensis): The Mexican Free-tailed bat is perhaps the most common bat species in Texas. They form massive roosts in a variety of man-made structures, including buildings and under bridges.
2. Big Brown Bats (Eptesicus fuscus): Big brown bats are found throughout the Americas, and in the United States, they are one of the bat species most frequently found roosting in human-made structures, including homes and other buildings.
3. Eastern Red Bats (Lasiurus borealis): While they generally prefer to roost in trees, Eastern Red Bats have been known to roost in buildings when their natural habitats are unavailable.
