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/

🐿️ Hearing squirrels running across your roof? It might seem harmless, but how can you tell if they're causing damage?

🐿️ 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.

It can be tempting to tackle a mouse problem on your own, but DIY methods often address the symptoms instead of the source. Mice can squeeze through incredibly small openings, reproduce quickly, and remain hidden behind walls or in attics long after a few have been removed. Professional wildlife removal focuses on identifying entry points, removing the infestation humanely, and preventing future problems. Learn why a long-term solution is the best way to protect your St. Paul home.

Proper cleanup and restoration are essential to help return your home to a safe, healthy condition. Learn why thorough remediation matters and how humane wildlife professionals can restore your attic while helping prevent future wildlife problems.

🦇 Think a few bats in the attic can't hurt your home?

Bat colonies can cause serious structural damage over time. Their droppings and urine can ruin insulation, stain ceilings, weaken wood, and create costly repairs. In older St. Paul homes, these problems can build up faster than many homeowners realize. The longer a colony stays, the more damage it can leave behind.

🐀 One rat in your home is rarely just one rat.

What looks like a single visitor could be the first sign of a growing colony hidden behind your walls, in your attic, or under your floors. Rats breed quickly, leave scent trails for others to follow, and can cause serious damage before you even know they're there. The sooner you act, the easier the problem is to control.

Got a rat? Our latest blog explains how one rat can lead to many more. If you've noticed signs of rat activity, contact Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control in St. Paul today for professional help.

One rat can quickly become a colony. See how rats spread through your home, the risks they create, and how to stop them for good.
