Bats should be appreciated from a distance and not disturbed as they are known carriers of rabies.
Biology: Bats are the only mammals that truly fly. Bats that congregate in groups are called colonial bats. Those that live a lone existence are known as solitary bats. Summer colonies are very gregarious and commonly roost in dark, hot attics & roof spaces where maternity colonies (containing pregnant females) may include hundreds to thousands of individuals. No nests are built. Some bats are known to migrate relatively short distances.
Mating Habits: Bats mate in the fall and winter, but the female retains the sperm until spring, when ovulation and fertilization takes place.
Birthing Times: May through July. Their young grow rapidly and can fly within 3 weeks. Weaning occurs in July and August.
Litter Size: Litter size is 1 in the South; twins occasionally occur in some other areas.
Life Span: Bats can live more than 10 years and may live as long as 31 years.
Foods: Their diet consists of mosquitoes, caddis flies, moths, and beetles. Bats can consume insects equal to one-third of its body weight in ½ hour of foraging.

Legal Status: Not protected by federal law, but state & local regulations may apply.

Industrial-sized rat problem?
Managing hundreds of properties?
We can handle the largest of commercial and industrial rat control jobs. From corporate offices, to schools & churches, warehouses and apartment complexes, we have handled it all, and have the ability to solve your rodent problems, no matter how large.
Commercial Rat Control
A small rat problem can quickly become a big rat problem, resulting in disturbing animal noises during the night and eventually during the day. A business suffering from rats will lose customers. A management association with rats in its properties will lose tenants. Hiring Wildlife Patrol will stop the rats and keep business flowing.
No rat job is too large to be solved by our small company.
Just like residential jobs, commerical infestations are directly dependent on the structure of the building. The rat control program we offer is designed to solve the infestation quickly, safely, and permanently.
Some wildlife problems are relatively easy and can be solved by the homeowner. Some wildlife problems are somewhat tricky and should be performed by a wildlife company and it may not matter how skilled the wildlife operator is.
Rat problems are the absolute most difficult wildlife problems and the skill level of the wildlife company you hire is incredibly important. Any small mistake on the part of the wildlife professional can cause the work to fail and money to be wasted.
