Finding a bat in your Sioux Falls house, even just one time is all the motivation you need to do everything in your power to get rid of your bat problem once and for all. No one wants to deal with an animal swooping over their head as they desperately try to catch it, all the while knowing that if one bat got inside, there are likely more in the attic or wall voids. 

If you have encountered a bat or have other reasons to believe that bats are in your home, you need bat control in Sioux Falls from a company that is skilled in not only mitigating the bats in your house but also making sure they never return. Bats are animals we need in our environment, but we don't need them in our houses. CP Bat Mitigation offers the services you need to safely and humanely control the bats and keep them out.

Are Bats Common In Sioux Falls?

Bats are common in Sioux Falls. Throughout South Dakota, there are 13 different types of bats. Not all of these bat species are likely to end up in your house, however. The two most common bats found in Sioux Falls homes are the big brown bat and the little brown myotis bat.

Both of these species of bats usually hibernate through the winter. If they've moved into your house, they will spend the colder months of the year staying tucked inside your home where it is warm enough for them to survive.

How Did Bats Find Their Way Into My House?

How do bats get in the house? Believe it or not, It's relatively easy for bats to get into homes in Sioux Falls. Bats are fairly small, and they can squeeze through holes as small as a dime, depending on the species and size of the bat. That makes any opening in the side or roof of your house a possible entry point for bats. A couple of the most common spots bats use to gain access to a house are attic vents and chimney openings. 

What's The Best Way To Get Rid Of Bats In My House?

When you find bats in your house, you want to get rid of them as quickly as possible, which means you want to figure out the best way to mitigate them. When it comes to bats, the best choice is always to contact a professional bat control company.

CP Bat Mitigation knows how to remove bats in your house in a humane way that ensures they don't return. We will use our knowledge, experience, and equipment to install exclusion devices that allow bats to get out of your house while making them unable to return. In addition to mitigating the bats from your home, we'll also make sure that every last entry point is properly sealed so that a new infestation can't occur.

How Do I Prevent Future Bat Problems In My House?

The best way to prevent bats from becoming a problem in your home in the future is to make sure your house is fully secure and free of entry points. In addition to sealing any openings, no matter how small, you'll also want to cover attic vents and chimney openings with screens to prevent bats from entering your home through those access points. If you don't feel equipped to do this job on your own, bat exclusion and bat control in your area are available from CP Bat Mitigation.
