🦇 Happy International Bat Week!

Did you know bats play an important role in keeping insect populations under control? A single bat can consume hundreds of insects in just one night!

Where do bats go when the temperature drops? 🦇🍂

Depending on the species and location, bats may migrate or move into protected places to hibernate. As their activity becomes less visible, homeowners may assume a summer bat problem has disappeared—but the openings bats used can remain vulnerable.

It's imperative to never seal a suspected bat entry point without knowing whether the space is clear. Trapping bats inside can create a more serious problem.

Bats are better neighbours than their spooky reputation suggests. 🦇

These fascinating mammals play an important role in healthy ecosystems by helping manage insect populations. They’re also the only mammals capable of true flight!

Protecting bats doesn’t mean allowing them to live inside our homes. Humane wildlife control gives bats the opportunity to leave safely while helping homeowners keep attics and walls protected.

Bats belong in the night sky—not inside your attic.

International Bat Week begins today! 🦇

Bats play an important role in our ecosystems by helping manage insect populations. They’re valuable neighbours—but when they move into an attic or another part of a home, the situation needs to be handled carefully.

From understanding fall bat activity to spotting hidden entry points and completing humane exclusions, we’ll be sharing bat facts, field footage and homeowner advice throughout the week.

Follow along throughout the week as we celebrate bats, protect homes and promote safer coexistence.

“How much will it cost to mouse-proof my home?” It’s one of the first questions homeowners ask—and we understand why. 🐭

Unfortunately, an accurate quote can’t be provided over the phone because every property is different. The home’s size, exterior materials, weep vents, roof vents, number of entry points and condition of affected areas can all change the scope of the work.

Our technicians complete a thorough on-site assessment to determine:

- How mice are entering
- What other areas are vulnerable
- Whether cleanup or attic remediation is needed
- What materials and repairs will provide long-term protection

Once the assessment is complete, we explain what we found, review the recommended options and provide a quote based on the property’s specific needs.

Traps and poisons may address individual mice, but they don’t close the routes allowing more to enter. Learn about Skedaddle’s customized approach: https://www.skedaddlewildlife.com/services/mice/

Once they reach your roofline, squirrels may take advantage of vulnerable areas or even chew their way inside! Learn how squirrels get onto your roof, what makes your home attractive to them and how to prevent unwanted attic visitors.https://loom.ly/x9hW1LM

A quick patch isn’t always a long-term solution. 🏡

Traps, repellents and sealing the most obvious opening may reduce activity temporarily, but they don’t always address how wildlife is using the property—or where else animals could get inside.

Professional animal-proofing looks at the entire home. We identify active entry points, check for animals already inside and protect other vulnerable areas with durable materials designed for wildlife exclusion.

Contact Skedaddle for a solution that addresses the source of the problem.

Your bird feeder may be feeding more than birds. Spilled seed can turn your backyard into a nightly buffet for unwanted wildlife.

Mice, rats, squirrels, raccoons, and skunks may return once they find a steady food source. They may also start searching nearby garages, sheds, and homes for shelter.

Hearing scratching, thumping, or fluttering after dark?

Those nighttime noises may be more than just summer sounds. Wildlife often moves into attics, soffits, and wall cavities during the warmer months to escape the heat and raise their young. The type of noise, when it happens, and where you hear it can provide important clues. Catching the problem early can help prevent bigger issues later.

Our latest blog explains what nighttime noises around your home could mean this summer. Contact us at Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control in Mississauga to find out how we can help stop those noises for good.

Think squirrels forget where they nested last winter? Think again. 🐿️🏠

Squirrels have an incredible memory. If one found a warm attic or roof gap in your home before, there’s a good chance it will come back and try the same spot again. These clever animals remember safe nesting places and often return season after season.

They also keep backup nesting sites nearby, like attics, wall spaces, and trees close to the roof. That’s why simply blocking one hole often isn’t enough to stop them for good.

In our latest blog, we explain how squirrels remember nesting sites, why homes in Mississauga attract them, and what it takes to keep them out long-term.

Birds perched on your sign might seem harmless… until the problems start piling up. 🐦🏢

For restaurants and retail stores in Mississauga, bird activity can mean more than just noise. Droppings can damage buildings, nests can block vents, and customers may think twice about walking into a business that looks messy or unsafe.

Pigeons, starlings, and sparrows often gather around patios, loading docks, and storefront signs. Over time, that activity can lead to property damage, health risks, and even failed inspections if it isn’t handled properly.

In our latest blog, we break down how bird activity affects commercial spaces and what business owners can do to protect their property, reputation, and customers.

Do you hear strange chattering, scratching, or rustling coming from your fireplace? 🔥

It might not just be the wind. Finding a raccoon in your chimney is a surprisingly common issue for homeowners, especially when mothers are looking for a safe place to raise their babies. To a raccoon, an uncapped chimney looks just like a hollow tree—providing the perfect dark, warm shelter for animals nesting in your chimney.

While they might seem cozy, sharing your chimney with wildlife can lead to blocked flues, flea infestations, and serious fire hazards. Our latest blog post explains why professional chimney wildlife removal is the safest route for both your family and the animals.
