Are bats living in your attic or walls? Urban Wildlife Control Inc has been providing professional, humane bat removal across Waterloo Region since 2005. We specialize in getting bats out safely — and keeping them out permanently.

About Bats in Waterloo Region Homes

Canada has nineteen species of bat, and two of those commonly roost in attics: the little brown bat and the big brown bat. Bats are the only mammals capable of true flight and can take advantage of extremely small cracks and gaps in a building — any area slightly larger than a dime is a potential entry point. Once inside, they roost in attic spaces and wall cavities, often going unnoticed for months or years.

Successfully solving a bat problem requires a well-trained professional with a solid understanding of bat biology and meticulous bat-proofing of your building against re-infestation.

Our Bat Removal Process

We follow a proven 4-step process to humanely and permanently remove bats from your Waterloo Region home or business:

• Step 1 – Inspect: Complete exterior inspection of your home or building to identify all active bat entry points and existing problem areas.
• Step 2 – Plan: Develop a bat eviction and bat-proofing plan and present you with our written proposal.
• Step 3 – Remove: Begin eviction via bat one-way doors (timing depends on season) and complete thorough bat-proofing of the building.
• Step 4 – Final Inspection: Final follow-up visit and bat-door removal.

Bat-Related Health Risks & Property Damage

A bat infestation can cause costly damage to your home, and the risk to your health increases the longer it goes untreated. If you find a bat in your home, treat it as a potentially serious matter — call your local Health Unit and a wildlife control professional immediately.

• 3–5% of bats found in homes test positive for rabies. Bats have very small teeth, so bites may go undetected.
• Bat guano (droppings) has been linked to histoplasmosis, a serious lung infection.
• Bat guano raises moisture content in attics, encouraging wood rot and structural damage.
• Bats can damage heating and cooling systems located in the attic.
• Guano and urine accumulate over time, causing persistent odours and attracting insects.
