Discovering a bat or bird nest in your Hamilton house is a real scare, but taking the proper steps and treating the situation professionally is essential. Bats and birds are protected wildlife; removing them improperly could make us sick or give us legal trouble. We pride ourselves on humane and effective wildlife removal at AAA Kyle’s Wildlife Removal to ensure your home is safe and wildlife handled with care.
Here’s a step-by-step guide for what to do if you find a bat or a bird nest in your home:
Do Not Panic, and Do Not Disturb the Nest: Various regulations make it illegal to disturb the nests of protected species, including bats and birds, with penalties or fines applicable. Moreover, loud noises or sudden motions stress the animals, and they are prone to act on instinct. Do not touch or remove the nest until a professional does so, and this is because it can cause them to become aggressive.
Identify the Type of Wildlife: Identify the species and note where the nest is. Bird nests are typically seen in attics, chimneys, or eaves, while bats usually roost in darker, more enclosed areas like attics or within walls. Wildlife removal professionals will need to know the type of animal to help determine the best course of action.
Seal Off the Area for Safety: If safe, shut doors or use barriers to contain the affected area. This will reduce the risk of the animals getting into your living areas. Be careful not to get animals stuck, as that’ll only create more problems.
Contact a Professional Wildlife Removal Company: Touching bats and birds without formal training can expose you to health risks from feces or rabies from rare bat bites. Professionals such as AAA Kyle’s Wildlife Removal have the equipment and training needed to safely and humanely remove wildlife.
Adopt a Humane Removal Approach: All of our removal methods are performed by local laws and protect the well-being of wildlife. For instance, the removal may not happen until baby birds or bats are mature enough to leave the nest.
Clean and Sanitize the Area: Once the wildlife is removed, it is essential to then thoroughly clean and disinfect the area. Bat guano and bird droppings can contain dangerous pathogens. Wake Up Cleaning Services are designed to clean your home as if you have just moved in.
Prevent Future Infestations: It is better to prevent than regret. Here’s how we protect your home:
Seal Entry Points: We inspect for gaps, vents, and cracks where wildlife can enter and seal them.
Install Exclusion Devices: These let wildlife leave but not return.
Routine Inspections: Regular inspections can detect some problems before they grow into infestations.
