Finding a bat inside your Niagara home can be unsettling, but it is important to remain calm. Keep people and pets away, close interior doors if possible, and avoid attempting to touch or capture the bat yourself.

A bat indoors may also indicate an entry point or colony elsewhere in the home. Read our latest blog to learn what steps to take and why professional inspection and humane removal are essential.

Ontario distributed oral rabies vaccine baits throughout Niagara to help prevent raccoon variant rabies from spreading across the border from New York. Baits were placed by hand in urban areas and distributed by aircraft in rural locations.

The program helps immunize wildlife such as raccoons and skunks while protecting animals, pets and local communities. Read our latest blog to learn how the baits work and what Niagara residents should know.

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/

🐿️ 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.

Before locking up the cottage for the season, do not forget one important area: the attic. Signs like droppings, disturbed insulation, nesting materials, unusual odours, or damage around roof vents and soffits could indicate wildlife activity. Leaving these issues unnoticed can give animals months to settle in and cause further damage. Learn why an attic inspection should be part of your cottage closing routine and how professional wildlife prevention can help protect your Niagara property while you are away.

Before closing your Niagara cottage for winter, inspect the attic for wildlife, entry points, nesting material, droppings, and damage.
