Brantford homeowners are no strangers to wildlife encounters, and bats are often some of the quietest intruders. Whether you reside in Glenhyrst, West Brant, or the Dufferin neighbourhood, bats may be roosting above without any clear indicators. Thanks to their ability to squeeze through tiny cracks, bats can live in attics unnoticed for extended periods.

At Ontario Wildlife Removal Inc., we offer humane and effective bat removal solutions for homes across Brantford. With over 18 years of industry expertise, our team is equipped to handle infestations efficiently while protecting both your home and local bat populations.

How to Tell if You Have Bats
Bat infestations are often mistaken for other issues. Keep an eye out for these signs:

• Soft fluttering or faint scratching coming from walls or ceilings in the evening

• Clusters of bat droppings near roof edges, vents, or windowsills

• Stains or oily marks around attic openings or exterior vents

• A strong, musty smell—often similar to ammonia—lingering in attic spaces

• Bats emerging from your roofline or chimney at dusk

Why Bat Infestations Are a Problem
While bats are beneficial for controlling insects outdoors, their presence inside your home poses several risks:

• Health Concerns: Bat guano can contain spores that cause histoplasmosis, and bats can carry rabies. Their presence may also attract parasites like bat bugs.

• Property Damage: Bat urine and feces can damage insulation, stain wood surfaces, and leave behind foul odours.

• Other Pests: Once bats have created access points, it’s easier for rodents or birds to follow them in.

How We Remove Bats from Your Home
Our proven process prioritizes safety—for both your family and the bats:

• Thorough Inspection: We inspect attic spaces, vents, and soffits to identify entry points and determine colony size.

• Exclusion Devices: One-way bat valves are installed, letting bats exit but preventing re-entry.

• Sealing Openings: After confirming the bats are gone, we secure all access areas using durable, wildlife-proof materials.

• Sanitation: We recommend professional cleaning of droppings and urine to prevent health risks and lingering odours.

Why Bats Favour Brantford Homes
The combination of mature neighbourhoods, riverfront areas, and established trees makes Brantford an ideal place for bats to roost. Locations like West Brant, Dufferin, and Glenhyrst are especially prone due to older home designs. Gaps in roofing materials, soffits, or vents provide just enough space for bats to settle in.

Our team understands the typical vulnerabilities in Brantford homes and creates removal plans that address each property’s specific needs.
