Bat Extermination

Bats are annoying pests that can be a real pain and can cause a lot of damage when they get into your home, due to the nuisance they create; most people look for ways to kill these animals. Bats are problematic because they are known to be a carrier and transmitter of deadly diseases through scratches, bites and even through their feces.

When the weather becomes colder, they enter the home accidentally through open windows and doors attracted by the warmth. It doesn�t matter whether they re residing in hr walls or attic, bat droppings are can create so much mess around, the droppings contain some microbes that can cause respiratory problems in humans. The strange and pungent smell annoys people living around coupled with their annoying screeches. 

With the problems bat can bring to the home, it is necessary to find a way to get rid of them. Therefore, below are the lethal and humane methods to exterminate bats:

USE OF GLUE BOARD TRAP

Although this is an inhumane way to kill a bat but it is highly effective in getting rid of bats. This method is carried out by placing the glue board under the roosts of the bats, and any bat that comes closer and falls on the glue gets stuck, wriggles and struggles to come out but slowly starves to death.

USE OF POISONS

The use of poison to kill bat might be difficult because it is difficult to get the bats to ingest the poison. This is because bats diet is made up of flying insects, and you cannot mount the poison on the back of those insects. There are some poisonous chemicals that can be sprayed directly on the bat in high quantities but they are dangerous to humans, also these chemicals are not registered and it is illegal to kill bats in their colonies. Also apply safety precautions to avoid pets and children from getting in contacts with the poison as it is highly dangerous.

USE OF FUMIGANTS

There are some bat sprays that can be used to kill bats but they are illegal in the United States. Sprays such as DDT, RoZol and Vikane Gas can kill bats but they are highly dangerous and have disastrous aftermaths. Apart from using these fumigants, it is illegal to kill a colony of bats. If a bat flies to your house or the living room, quickly close the door to avoid it entering other rooms, and then open the windows to let it out. 

USE OF GAS BOMBS

Another alternative that can be used in killing bats is the use of suffocation by putting dangerous in their hiding places. Before you start, make sure the area you want to place the gas bomb is properly sealed so that the poisonous gas will not come in contact with humans. It is also important to ensure proper ventilation in the house so that the gases can escape outside, then the place be unsealed ad made safe for humans to enter.
