That is because you will need to spot small details\nand then piece together clues to confirm bat presence and activity. The most obvious\nsigns of localized bat activity is actually seeing bats flying around your\nhouse at dawn and dusk. These \u201ctwilight\u201d periods are when bats are most active,\nand come out of their roosts to hunt for insects. In fact, if you have seen\nbats flying around your house, you have an advantage when it comes to identifying\ntheir entry and exit points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply place a camera outside, or observe them in person, to\nphysically witness where they are getting in. Keep in mind, local Kentucky bats\nare so small, they can squeeze through an opening as tiny as 3\/8<sup>th<\/sup>\nof an inch, so it might be difficult, or even impossible, to see them slip into\nactual holes without the help and technology of a professional wildlife\nabatement company. You can look for dark brown or back oil-like stains on your\nsiding, which results from their fur rubbing against the house as they enter\nand exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another common signs of bat presence are bat droppings, or <em>guano<\/em>. If you are seeing bat droppings in or around your house, which look very similar to rodent droppings, you most certainly have bats. Look for piles and accumulations around door frames and windowsills, as well as, inside your attic and walls spaces, and your roof. These are common areas for bats to perch while hunting for prey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More signs of bat presence include hearing strange noises\ninside walls or in your attic, such as chattering, squealing, squeaking,\nfluttering, and similar sounds. You can also assume bats are nearby if you\nsmell strange odors coming from inside the living areas of your house. This is\nindicative of a bat infestation that has gone on for a long time. Along with\nodors, you might spot brown or yellow stains on ceilings or walls as a result\nof their urine and droppings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Get Rid of Bats in the Attic in Louisville<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call 502-553-7622<\/strong> to speak a DNR licensed specialist about safely getting rid of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"bats in the attic (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.batremovallouisvilleky.com\/bats-in-the-attic-louisville-ky.php\" target=\"_blank\">bats in the attic<\/a> in your Louisville, Kentucky residence or building.
