In Ohio, bats are becoming popular among social media and are, in fact, cute mammals. However, if they enter upper areas of residential properties, the bats can become a serious nuisance for property owners. A local wildlife specialist performs bat removal in Columbus OH for all property owners who have found the mammals in their home.
Identifying Where the Bats are
The first step of the removal service is to identify all areas in which the bats are entering the property. Typical areas are attics and lofts in which the bats can fly into the areas through access points. The bats will set up dens in the affected area, and hazardous droppings will accumulate in the area.
Setting Up Safer Traps
Safer traps are set up to capture the bats when they enter the target area. The traps are set up at the access point where the bats will enter them instead of the affected room or space. Once the bats are inside the trap, it closes and keeps them inside it securely.
Cleaning Up the Target Area
Once the bats are removed from the property, the animal control services start the clean-up process. The specialists use cleaning products that eliminate all health hazards associated with bat droppings and debris. The affected area is cleaned only and any property damage that is discovered is listed in a report. The report is filed with the property owner’s insurance provider.
Blocking Access for the Bats
The final step is to block off all access points for the bats to prevent them from re-entering the property. The animal control specialists complete a full inspection of the property and show the property owner each potential access point. The property owner must follow careful instructions for closing off the access points.
In Ohio, bats can enter areas such as lofts and attics through cracks in the walls or windows. The mammals are known carriers of the rabies virus and could infect humans through a quick bite. If bats are discovered in a residential property, the owner should schedule removal services quickly.
