Bats Canada – Bat Removal at its Best – 99% Customer Satisfaction

Hire the Bat Removal Experts of Ontario 

Do it right the First Time – 99% customer satisfaction

Bats are the most difficult animals to keep out of your home. Bat Removal is a specialized work and it needs to be left to the experts.
The majority of our clients have either: Been ripped off by wildlife companies and lost hundreds if not thousands of dollars or have been sold a house with a bat problem where the previous owners “forgot” to mention. In the majority of the cases, homes require small repairs and modifications.

We have people who are ex-roofers and ex-soffit-facia installers who understand how a building is put together and can repair it properly. Wildlife companies just use metal mesh and foam your house to death. A process that doesn’t last long and makes your home look terrible.

Why risk throwing your money away with a wildlife company that does a little bit of everything.
Call us and have the peace of mind that your problem will be dealt with by the best in the industry. Wildlife companies are the Jack of all trades and not specialists.  If you want to see the bad quality of work some companies do just head to our Jobs Gone Wrong page.

Bats Canada is the longest standing and most reviewed Bat removal company in Ontario. 100% Success with a lifetime warranty.

Why do I have bats flying in my home during the winter?

I have a bat in my home flying right now. What do I do?

  1. Do not panic. The bat is not going to attack you.
  2. Avoid sudden moves and open a window or a door.
  3. Bats sense airflow so they will  find their way out once a window is open.
  4. In the case you have to actually grab the bat and throw it out, use a towel and heavy gloves if available.
  5. Do not chase it. Just let the bat settle somewhere.
  6. Calling for removal of one bat is usually a waste of money because by the time someone gets there the bat has probably found a way back in the walls.

Dangers of having bats living in your home

  1. They carry rabies.
  2. The bat droppings or bat guano can cause histoplasmosis in humans and pets.
  3. Symptoms of the disease can be flu-like, to begin with, and also affect in vision, hearing, and the heart’s performance.
  4. The damage they cause requires major attic cleanups and renovations.
  5. They carry bat bugs, ticks, flees and other diseases.

3 Signs to look for if you think you have bats

U

Bat Droppings

Bat Droppings can be found in the attic or around the house where bats either tend to roost or enter the house. If you see bat droppings in your attic then you definitely have a bat problem and your require bat removal. If you find them around your property then it is not exactly certain if they are using your building or just roosting there. For more information please visit our page Bat Droppings.

Bat Entry Holes

This is the most obvious way to see that you have a bat problem. If you can see bats leaving your home at dusk, that means you have a bat infestation. Bats will typically leave the home at dusk to feed and stay in your home during the course of the day. Bat entry holes have usually brown staining around them if they are heavily used and they are easy to identify even from the ground.

Had a Bat during the Winter

If you had a bat show up in your home then you definitely have a bat problem. Bats hibernate during the winter in your home and a few times in their hibernation they tend to wake. Chances are a bat got lost after it woke up. For more information please visit our page Winter Bats.

The Reality of living with Bats

  1. Only a really small percentage of bats have rabbies and when they do they are usually really weak to fly or do anything. Based on 2017 Canadian Food Agency report you are twice as likely to contract rabies from skunks and 4.5 times from raccoons in Ontario.
  2. The majority of cases were when they grabbed them without any protection.
  3. Bats do not attack humans but like any other animal when cornered they will try to defend themselves if someone attempts to grab them.
  4. If you are living in a build up area (e.g subdivision) you most likely will never have to do a major clean up as the number of bats tends to be small. In 99% of our jobs clean ups are not needed.
  5. Only farmhouses and churches with a long history of bats tend to require clean ups. Be very wary if some “professional” keeps insisting for charging you for clean up.
  6. Histoplasmosis is caused by a fungus that grows on large quantities of wet bat droppings. And that only becomes dangerous if it becomes disturbed and airborne. Chances of people contracting it is extremely low as in most cases in Ontario there are only really small colonies of bats (especially in the cities)

What an efficient and thorough experience with Bats Canada! Thank you so much for your expertise, attention to detail and skillful abilities, Kenny! We had a number of bats to deal with in our attic and Bats Canada solved our issues and even fixed a looming issue with our roof that could have posed a future problem with more bats. This company is second to none! We would recommend this company to anyone. Wow, such knowledge and a perfect job! We learned so much too! :)

I was impressed with Kenny's experience, confidence, warranty and most importantly, honesty. I thought the bat dropping was symptom of a problem. Kenny assured me, after a quick inspection on the exterior of the house, bats were not actually getting in. He offered us the option to leave everything as is. We still proceeded to bat proof the house for peace of mind.

Excellent service provided by Kenny and his team at Bat Canada. After looking at other wildlife removal companies online - Bats Canada's website was the most informative in their removal/preventative process and I had more trust in a company that specializes in bat removal than a general wild life removal company. I reached out to Kenny early Sunday morning and by Sunday afternoon Kenny had contacted me with price, their process on removing and preventing bats from entering my home and setting up a next day appointment to complete the work. They were on time, and had my home sealed and protected from any bats entering my home. They also come with an unbeatable warranty that I don't think other wildlife removal companies can touch.

I contact Kenny about my bat problem and he returned the call within the hour. He was very confident that he could help with my problem. I was given a quote after sending the requested photos .Kenny arrived in May and again told us what they were doing. The job was done 6.5 hours. They were pleasant and very informative .Thanks

We found a bat in our house so we called Kenny at Bats Canada. He was at our house to remove the bats within the week! He was extremely professional and took his time! The quality of work is exceptional as we have been bat free ever since! After he completed bat proofing our house he stayed an extra hour just to answer all the questions we had! If you have bats in your home, definitely give Kenny a call to get them removed for good!! Highly recommend 10/10!!

Kenny is amazing. We had a bat get into the house, waited a few weeks to see if it was random, but kept hearing them in the walls and attic. We called Kenny and he came out within a week, tacking us on to another job he had in another city and his team worked on our house in the late afternoon, in 40+ degree heat, non-stop to get our house bat proofed. Afterward he took the time to walk me through what he had done, what he had found and how the problem is being solved. He is insanely knowledgeable and incredibly nice.We can even say that we had another company in before Kenny, who walked around the house and charged us for a quote. Kenny gave us a quote on the phone, was bang on (we were worried he might find something that added to the cost) and he came in at half the price... did more work and was more knowledgeable.I would 100% recommend Kenny to anyone who has this problem. He is an expert that gives you piece of mind with a guarantee. If you have bats, call Bats Canada, don't waste your time (or money) elsewhere.

Two summers ago we had the unfortunate experience of a bat flying down from our the third story of our heritage house and entering our main living area. My husband and I thought we dealt with the problem by catching it ourselves. Problem not solved. Two years later, not once, but twice, we were traumatized by a bat flying around our main living area. After researching bats we were alarmed to discover where there is one, there could potentially be a colony living silently within the walls of your home. Calling Bat Canada was the best decision we could have made. Kenny came within a day of our phone call, gave us so much information, and worked quickly and humanely to rid our home of bats. We recently had work done on the exterior of our home and because of Kenny’s expertise in fascia, soffit, and siding, he was not only able to identify any potential entry points, he also corrected small problems left undo by our last contractor. Bats Canada is not an inexpensive service, but bat removal is complicated. If you want the job done humanely, quickly, and done right the first time, we highly recommend hiring Kenny. You will not hire a more knowledgeable, courteous, and professional specialist than Kenny. Kenny stands by his guarantee and truly cares about giving his customers peace of mind in their homes. With Thanks from the Clarke Family.Kelly ClarkeKitchener, Ontario

We live in an old house and when we moved in we had a terrible problem with bats. I tried three other companies first. All of them said they would get rid of the problem. None of them did. And none of them would come back. As soon as I spoke to Kenny, I knew I should have gone to him first. He was excellent. He came right away. It took him about 10 minutes to determine where the bats were coming in, and what needed to be done (none of the other companies even got that far!). He removed the bats in a humane way and we have not had a problem for years, though if we did I know he would come back and fix it. I recommend Kenny without reservation. He is the best there is.
