Bats

Bats are unique as the only mammals capable of true flight. Contrary to popular belief, they have good eyesight. Canada has nineteen species of bat and two of those commonly roost in attics, they are little brown bat and the big brown bat. Bats can take advantage of extremely small cracks and gaps in a building. Any area slightly larger than a dime is a potential entry area. Successfully solving a bat problem requires a well-trained professional, solid understanding of bat biology, and meticulous bat proofing of the building against re-infestation.
