Bats are BACK in River Ridge!

Bats are flying and back again in River Ridge - I removed many from homes there last year but once again I am getting those calls. The Home I investigated last night has them in a column near the back of the house. He saw them while sitting on his back porch and searched the internet. He said he found me here on this blog, and he also said how important it was to him to find a local bat removal guy.
I am glad to serve the residents with these services and glad he found me. Bats can be very difficult to remove on your own and if your not careful you can create an even bigger problem.

This location is near one of the main shopping centers in River Ridge, so at least I will have a place close by to catch lunch before I head back down to DuLac, LA where there's several camps with bats in them as well.

Bats getting in by a window!
Many of the camps in Du Lac Louisiana are often built by the same builders, which means if your neighbors camp has bats  - you might have them too! Bats seem to like to go into similar entry points. For instance, if you see bats going into a crack by a window on one house you may see the same thing on yours! If bats are entering or flying by a piling under one camp - you may find them visiting several camps in the same way.

Till next time

remember, bats are beneficial!

Bats in River Ridge LA

River Ridge Louisiana still showing signs of a strong bat population still! Here's a picture of some bats that simply needed to go! They just didn't want to go! These bats only hung around a day or so and then found a new place, but more than likely they already had additional headquarters in mind. Bats in New Orleans are the Mexican Free-tailed variety and are rather small so they can literally tuck in almost anywhere. Small cracks and crevices are what they prefer and the hotter the better it seems - I read that bats prefer 109 degree temps to raise young but I have seen them on the underside of a shingle measuring 143! That's hot!

If you see that dirty wall, that's what happens in one night but after repeated use bats can really muddy up an area, check out the following picture!
This house had bats in the column posts! If you have brown spots like these on your columns, then you might have bats! If you are not sure - give me a call! We clean out attic insulation, bat crap (Guano) and we can even replace the insulation as well! We sub out the A/C work but when we are done it is all handled!
