Behavior and habits
Colonies roost in attics, chimneys, and gaps behind shutters, exiting at dusk to feed on insects.
Why bats are a problem
Guano accumulates health risks, and any bat-human contact requires rabies evaluation.
How Antex handles bats
Our technicians confirm the species first, because effective control depends on it. Then we treat the source: nesting sites, harborage, and the routes onto your property, using professional products applied precisely. If pests return between scheduled visits, we'll come back and address the issue at no additional cost.
Prevention tips
Bats are protected: exclusion must use one-way devices outside maternity season, never poisons.
