Bat Removal Services in Brantford, ON

In Brantford, it’s not uncommon for homeowners to encounter unexpected wildlife in their attics and bats are among the most discreet. Whether you live in West Brant, near the Dufferin area, or close to Glenhyrst, bats may be roosting overhead without obvious signs. Their ability to slip through tiny openings allows them to settle in undisturbed, sometimes for months.

Ontario Wildlife Removal Inc. provides safe, humane bat removal services to homeowners throughout Brantford. With more than 18 years of wildlife control experience, we know how to identify and resolve infestations quickly using methods that protect both your home and local bat populations.

Signs You May Have a Bat Infestation

Bat activity is often subtle and can be mistaken for other issues. Look out for:

• Light fluttering or scratching noises in ceilings or walls after dusk
• Accumulations of bat guano near soffits, window sills, or eavestroughs
• Greasy smudges or discolouration near vents or attic openings
• A persistent musky or ammonia-like smell from attic spaces
• Bats flying out of the home around sunset, especially near chimneys or roof peaks

The Risks of Bat Infestations

Though bats play a vital role in nature, their presence indoors can lead to serious concerns:

• Health Issues: Guano can harbour fungal spores linked to histoplasmosis, and bats may carry rabies. Their presence also introduces bat bugs and other parasites.
• Structural Damage: Over time, droppings and urine can saturate insulation, stain wood, and create powerful odours that are difficult to remove.
• Pest Entry Points: Bats may widen entry holes over time, making it easier for other wildlife such as birds, mice, or raccoons to enter your home.

Our Humane Bat Removal Process

Our approach ensures bats are safely removed and your home is protected for the future:

1. Inspection: We perform a full assessment of your attic, soffits, and roofline to locate active entry points and determine the size of the colony.
2. One-Way Exclusion: We install wildlife-grade bat doors that allow bats to leave naturally while preventing re-entry.
3. Entry Point Sealing: Once the structure is confirmed clear, we seal all access points using durable, bat-proof materials.
4. Cleanup & Disinfection: We recommend professional removal of bat guano and urine to eliminate odours and reduce potential health risks.

Why Brantford Homes Attract Bats

Brantford’s blend of residential neighbourhoods, riverfront properties, and tree-lined streets provides the perfect environment for bats to roost. Communities such as Glenhyrst, West Brant, and the Dufferin area are particularly susceptible due to mature trees and older home construction. Gaps in flashing, attic vents, or soffits offer easy entry for bats seeking warmth and shelter.

Our technicians are familiar with the design characteristics of Brantford homes and tailor each removal plan to match your property’s specific vulnerabilities.
