Why Professional Bat Removal Is Essential
Picture this: You’re sitting down to relax after a long day when you hear faint scratching and squeaking above your head. Congratulations—you’ve got bats. While they’re great for keeping pesky bugs at bay, they can wreak havoc indoors. Bats in your home can cause structural damage, bring in diseases like histoplasmosis, and leave behind guano (yep, that’s bat poop) that’s more than just smelly—it’s hazardous.
At Hideaway Wildlife, we handle the dirty work so you don’t have to. Our humane bat control process complies with Ontario’s wildlife laws, ensuring safe removal and long-term protection for your home. From thorough inspections to safe exclusions and full attic restoration, we’ll help you sleep bat-free and worry-free.
FAQ: Answers to Common Bat Control and Removal Questions
Why do bats live in homes?
Because they’re smart! Attics, walls, and chimneys offer warmth, safety, and protection from predators. To bats, your home is the coziest spot on the block—until we show them the door.
How do I know if I have bats?
Hear scratching or squeaking in the walls? See droppings near vents? Or maybe you’ve noticed bats flying around your property at dusk. These are all signs it’s time to call in the pros for bat control.
What do bats in the attic sound like?
It’s a mix of high-pitched squeaking, fluttering wings, and occasional scratching—like a critter dance party in your ceiling. These sounds are most noticeable at dusk or dawn.
Are bats dangerous to humans or pets?
Not usually, but they can carry diseases like rabies or histoplasmosis, which spreads through guano. Keep your distance and let professionals handle the removal to stay safe.
What damage do bats cause to homes?
From gnawed insulation to droppings that can ruin your attic, bats are small but mighty when it comes to causing damage. Professional bat control can prevent these costly repairs.
Are bats endangered?
Yes, many bat species in Ontario are endangered. That’s why humane bat removal is so important—it protects your home while preserving these vital creatures.
How to humanely remove bats from your home?
Using one-way exclusion devices, we allow bats to safely leave but block them from coming back. No harm, no stress, just effective bat control.
How to keep bats out of your chimney?
Seal it up! Chimney caps and mesh screens work wonders to keep bats from making your chimney their new home.
When is the best time to remove bats?
Early spring or late fall—when baby bats have grown and left the roost. That way, no one gets left behind.
Is bat removal covered by homeowners' insurance?
It depends on your policy, but many cover wildlife damage. We’re happy to provide documentation to help with your claim.

Bat-Free in Bruce Peninsula – A Success Story
When the Hendersons in Tobermory heard rustling in their attic, they called Hideaway Wildlife. We found a bat colony had moved in through loose soffits. Using safe bat control techniques, we excluded the colony, cleaned the guano, and sealed up their roofline. Now their attic is guano-free, and the Hendersons are sleeping soundly—no uninvited night flyers included.
