🦇 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.

Spaces beneath decks, balconies and sheds can provide skunks with dark, quiet shelter that is protected from weather and predators. Nearby garbage, pet food, gardens and lawn insects can make Montreal properties even more attractive.

Once a skunk establishes a den, approaching or blocking the space without a proper plan can create additional problems. Read our latest blog to learn why skunks choose these areas and how humane removal and prevention can help.

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/

🐿️ Did you know squirrels can use nearby tree branches to access your roof?

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

Squirrels can reach Coquitlam roofs using branches, fences, utility lines, and walls before finding weak spots that may provide attic access.

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.

A newly built home may look completely sealed, but small construction gaps can still give bats access. Openings around rooflines, vents, soffits, flashing and exterior joints may lead directly into an attic or wall space.

Because bats can enter through very small openings, these vulnerabilities may be difficult to notice from the ground. Read our latest blog to learn how bats enter newer homes and why a professional inspection is important.

Construction can change more than the look of a Montreal neighbourhood. Digging, demolition, and other disturbances may disrupt the places rats use for food and shelter, encouraging them to explore nearby yards and properties. If you have noticed more rodent activity around your neighbourhood, nearby construction could be one contributing factor. Learn what may be driving rats closer to homes and how professional prevention can help protect your property.

Construction activity in Montreal is one of the biggest reasons rat complaints are going up across the city. When digging, sewer work, and demolition break up the underground spaces these animals live in, they scatter. And when they scatter, they head to the nearest safe spot — which is often your...
