Bat droppings, known as guano, can be an early sign that bats have moved in! 🦇

Small, dark and crumbly, guano can accumulate in attics, walls, near roofs and around your property. Beyond the mess, accumulated guano can also create conditions that support the growth of Histoplasma, a fungus associated with respiratory illness.

Rodents like rats, mice, and squirrels are some of the most common and destructive pests homeowners face in their attics.

Early detection is key to minimizing damage, so here’s what to look for:

✅ Gnawed Wires: Rodents gnaw on electrical wiring, creating fire hazards.
✅ Droppings: Dark pellets scattered throughout the attic are an indicator of rodent activity.
✅ Rodent Nests: Look for shredded paper, insulation, fabric, or other materials piled up in corners.

Recognizing the signs early can help you avoid costly repairs and protect your home from further damage.

🎃 Don’t let squirrels turn your jack-o’-lanterns into a spooky snack this season! Pumpkins may be the perfect fall decoration, but squirrels can see them as a tasty treat.

To help protect them, you could try adding a coat of lacquer or rubbing petroleum jelly around the edges of your pumpkins.

You can also try natural deterrents like hot sauce, garlic spray or vinegar. Just keep in mind that their scents can wear off quickly, so you’ll need to reapply them regularly.

Even with deterrents, squirrels may still damage your pumpkins, as certain deterrents may not be effective. 🐿️

Bat houses do more than offer bats a place to roost. They help protect your home and the environment.

Here’s how adding a bat house can benefit both bats and homeowners:
✅ Provides bats with a safe, clean place to raise their young
✅ Helps control pest insects like mosquitoes, moths, and beetles
✅ Reduces the chance of bats roosting in your attic
✅ Supports healthier bat populations and limits the need for insecticides

Learn more about the benefits of bat houses and whether they can help keep bats out of your attic in our blog!

Building a summer home for bats can play a vital role in their survival, providing optimal roosting conditions that they might have difficulty finding otherwise. They’ll make sure it’s worth your while, too: bats are voracious consumers of insect pests and will keep their populations low. Bat ho...
