HOW DO I IDENTIFY MY BAT ISSUE?
- We confirm that bats are roosting in your buildings.
- We identify the type of bats (Iowa has nine species of bats).

- We seal all access points once all of the bats are gone.
- We remove the bat guano.
Bats are shy mammals who prefer not to interact with people. Yet, they regularly nest in our attics because they offer them a safe, warm spot to hibernate over the cold winter months.
Once the weather warms up, the bats leave their roost at dusk each night in search of insects. Did you know that one tiny bat can eat over 1000 insects in a single night? They feast on flying insects throughout the night and head back into their roost before dawn.
Some other interesting facts about these fascinating animals include the following:
- Most bats roosting in your house are female. Bat colonies consist of females and their babies.
- Though the phrase “blind as a bat” may make you think otherwise, bats are not blind. They possess excellent vision. However, to locate their prey at night, they use echolocation to “see” their prey through sound, not their eyes.
- Though we don’t want to live with bats, bats are extremely important. They feed on mosquitoes, helping to control their populations, and prevent our outdoor spaces from being overrun by mosquitoes and other insects.
- You can prevent problems with bats in your house by placing bat boxes in locations away from your home.
