Bat In My Bedroom At Night

Bats are fascinating creatures, but they can also be a nuisance when they get into your home. If you've ever woken up to find a bat in your bedroom, you know how unsettling it can be. But don't panic! There are a few things you can do to get rid of the bat safely and prevent it from coming back.

The first step is to identify the type of bat you're dealing with. There are two main types of bats that are likely to enter your home: big brown bats and little brown bats. Big brown bats are larger than little brown bats, and they have a distinctive brown fur. Little brown bats are smaller and have a more reddish-brown fur.

Once you've identified the type of bat, you can start to figure out how it got into your home. Bats typically enter homes through small openings, such as cracks in the walls or around windows and doors. If you can find the opening, you can seal it up to prevent the bat from coming back in.

If you can't find the opening, you can try to trap the bat. There are a few different types of bat traps available, but the most effective type is a live trap. Live traps are designed to capture the bat without harming it. Once you've caught the bat, you can release it outside.

If you're not comfortable trapping the bat yourself, you can call a professional wildlife removal service. Wildlife removal services have the experience and equipment to safely remove bats from your home.

Once you've gotten rid of the bat, you should take steps to prevent it from coming back. Here are a few tips:

Seal up any openings in your home that could allow bats to enter.
Install bat houses around your property to give bats a place to live without getting into your home.
Keep your home clean and free of clutter. Bats are attracted to insects, so keeping your home clean will help to deter them.

By following these tips, you can help to keep bats out of your home and enjoy a peaceful night's sleep.
