As spring quickly turns into summer here in the Philadelphia area we notice a change in the species of animals we encounter most often. Attics are heating up forcing most animals outside or in a cooler place of a home. Squirrels venture from attics into interior walls or ceilings of air conditioned rooms. Most litters of young raccoons are starting to appear with their mother causing all sorts of wildlife damage , raiding trash cans and digging up lawns..
Skunks and groundhogs are on the move looking for a cool area to den such as under decks and sheds. Humane animal trapping is the best way to keep wildlife from moving in too close to a home or building.
We are recieving more and more calls about snakes in or near residences here in s.e. PA. Snakes seek out secure places to shed their skin and a crawl space or basement is a ideal location. A snake infestation can be handled with live snake removal as well as snake trapping.
Last but not least are the bats. Bats are showing up in high numbers and are looking for a place to bear their young.Bats do not mind a hot attic and find it a perfect place to give birth. Once a colony of bats choose a place to live professional bat removal may be needed to resolve the problem. Bats are beneficial for the environment by controlling insects, but their presence can become a health concern if the problem is let go for some time.
Summer is a time to enjoy the outdoors and the wildlife that surrounds us as long as the wild creatures of Pennsylvania stay out side!
In Pennsylvania april is the month when bats return to their seasonal roosting sites in preperation for the birthing season. By late May most female bats have given birth and are tending to their young. These maternity colonies of bats tend to find our homes and structures a safe place to roost and raise their young. This time of year in PA we are typically inspecting residential and commercial properties for bat infestations to determine the extent of work needed to be completed to remove the bats and control the problem. Bat removal needs to be completed in a timely manner either before the young bats are born or after the young are able to fly on their own. The timing of the bat exclusion is crucial to be sure no bats are harmed during the process. If you believe you may be experiencing a bat infestation and may need professional bat removal give Seitz Wildlife Services a call to have your property inspected and permanently excluded from bat entry. Bat proofing structures is our specialty and we back all of our bat exclusion work with a 100% gaurantee against future re-infestation.
Bats live in a variety of habitats including wetlands, fields, forests, cities and suburbs.
Pennsylvania is home to eight species of bats, with the Little Brown Bat being the most common. Bats and humans may come into conflicts when a lone bat flies into a home or building, or when a maternity colony roosts in a building. Bats arouse from hibernation during March and migrate to their summer roosts in April. Each pregnant female gives birth to 1 or 2 pups in late May and early June. By mid July the pups are able to fly and begin hunting insects on their own.
Bats of Pennsylvania are very beneficial to our environment and an important part of our ecosytem. A single bat can eat more than 1,000 insects every night and a colony of bats can control an over population of insects. All bats of PA are protected and great care should be taken to ensure a healthy bat population for the future.
Bat exclusion also know as “Bat Proofing” is the proccess of sealing all gaps and openings on the exterior of a structure to prevent any bats from entering. Bat proofing a home or building is most often a difficult task involving high ladder work,roofing and construction skills.Once we have properly excluded the unwanted bats from your home or property we supply our customers with a written guarantee stating your property is 100% bat proof.
One of the biggest problems involved with a bat infestation is the accumulation of bat droppings (guano). Guano accumulates in piles beneath the roosting bats and can contaminate insulation and other materials. Exposure to large quanities of bat dropping can be a serious health risk possibly causing lung infections or a disease called Histoplasmosis. We offer complete solutions to your bat problems including clean-up services including gauno removal, insulation replacement, sterilization or more. Each job includes a free attic inspection to determine the extent of damage that may have been done.
Bats are also know carriers of rabies and care should be taken not to come into physical contact with them. If you or someone in your household may have come into contact with a bat seek medical attention.
