Rachel Fischer, Realtor with Realty87

Rachel Fischer, Realtor with Realty87 My heart is to serve others well in finding their way home. I want to be a light in your journey home. Let's have a conversation!

Home is where our hearts are nourished, where we grow in body and soul, and where we are refreshed and renewed. I would love to serve you whether you are a first time home buyer, upsizing for your growing family, right sizing after raising your family, downsizing as a senior, finding a condo or townhouse or investigating the benefits of a multigenerational home, accessible living spaces, aging in place and ADA accommodations. I have personal and real estate experience in all of these areas.

You heard scratching in the attic. You found droppings. You saw them exit at dusk — small, dark shapes pouring from a gap under your soffit. Bats. You wanted them gone. You called a wildlife exclusion company. They sealed the gap in July.

The adults you excluded were mothers. Their babies — flightless pups born in late spring — are still inside your attic. They cannot follow the adults out. They cannot fly. They will crawl through your walls looking for an exit, calling for their mothers, and dying inside the structure. You will smell them in about a week.

A maternity colony of little brown bats may contain 30 to 50 nursing females. Each one eats 1,000 or more mosquito-sized insects per night. The colony you sealed out was removing 30,000 to 50,000 insects from the airspace around your home every single night.

The correct procedure — and the one any licensed bat exclusion specialist follows — is to install one-way exclusion devices in late summer or early fall, after the pups can fly. The adults exit through the device, cannot re-enter, and relocate to alternative roosts. The pups, now capable of flight, exit with them. No one is trapped.

Sealing a bat roost between May and August traps flightless young inside. It is illegal in many states under wildlife protection laws, and it results in dead bats in your walls, structural contamination, and the loss of the most effective insect control system your property had.

Seal in October. Not July. The timing is the difference between exclusion and entombment.
